I love signing copies & sending these book babies off into the world. If you have a copy, let me know and I’ll send out a signed bookplate. I have only a few left of the FINDING CHRISTMAS bookplates signed by both author & illustrator @eafrank_visualarts.

New links up!

Question for my #kidlit non-fiction biography folks-

When you submit, do you include photographs (ie from newspapers & collections) with the text?

If so, within the narrative or added as back matter?

Thank to all who attended the @scbwilongisland.bsky.social workshop - Elements of Picture Book Writing.

I hope you left with inspiration & information to get the job done!

It was my pleasure!

More snow is on the way! ❄️☃️

It’s official! 🎉

An illustration of a silly giraffe reminding people that requesting an authors book is a free and easy way to support them!

Did you know… that a free and easy way to support authors is to request that your local library carry their book! You can do it online. Just takes a minute. Easy peasy! And I’m not just saying this because I have a new book coming out 😉😉😉

An interesting table showing shopping trends for different age groups. Good to target your readers/ purchasers more specifically. #MiddleGrade #MGBooks #MGReads #MiddleGradeBooks #MGAuthors #KidsBooks #ChildrensBooks #KidsLit #Bookstagram #BookTok #mustread #MiddleGradeAdventure

Today’s observation -

The “social” aspect of social media is gone.

Getting ready for this @scbwilongisland.bsky.social event & we’ll chat about what makes a picture book work.

Lots to do. Lots to do. That’s a good thing bc I have lots to share!
