Hiking Date Sightings!

Wow. Tha is gorgeous, fun, supportive, and rock solid!

The friends of the #wornstaffpubliclibrary hosted my author visit. They and the staff are the absolute best! Their board recommended an almost lifesize cut out (crazy funny). One member made me a custom bookworm bag (priceless). And the kids all participated during the event! #kidlit #blessed

That should have read "to" not "too". This is why writers need editors, lol 😂

I agree. After fifteen years in the trenches, I no longer really expect much. I keep trying anyway just in case, but I don't get super excited like I used too.

I feel the disappointment, and then I do my best to let it go. I keep writing new stories thanks in part to 12x12pb, I look for the next opportunity, and I work to remember that no matter how small the spark of hope is after all these years, it's still burning!

Aileen Stewart's review of Do Not Turn the Page! 5/5: I accidentally won this book in a contest which was only supposed to be available to Canadian readers, but Jane Blondie was kind enough to send me a copy anyway, and I am super delighted she did!...

I just reviewed Do Not Turn The Page by Jane Blondie and Marcus Cutler and it was a super fun read you should check out for yourself! #kidlit #Cankidlit www.goodreads.com/review/show/...

So happy for you!

I'm super excited to have just finished my February #12x12pb first draft! #kidlit

Pitch: Shy and quiet Nugget never does anything egg-strordinary until he starts playing guitar. But when he plays, he finds both the joy and confidence to come out of his shell.

I don't know why but this made me think of Sherlock Holmes. So adorable 💕

Niece (sheesh). this is why authors n eed editors!
