Joy isn’t always loud. Sometimes it’s just 100 words long. Soul to Soul shows us how.

Good morning, #5amwritersclub. I’m closing in on a first draft of my WIP in about a month if all goes well. A major revision will be needed, but I always tell students that you need the clay before you can shape a nice piece of pottery. Clay should be ready soon. I’m on the path. 🤞

I want to thank those who paid MORE for their direct U. S. purchases of the new #childrensbook “Toys at Night,” & asked me to donate the extra to one of the causes supported by the book. Today I made a donation to Paws of War, which helps bring stray animals befriended by U.S. troops to the U.S. TY!

Good morning from New England, #5amwritersclub.

Absolutely delighted that "Toys at Night" is helping to raise money for the Glasgow Children's Hospital, as per this wonderful sponsorship featured in the Glasgow Bell newspaper: www.glasgowbell.co.uk/govan-econom... #books #childrensbooks #Glasgow #Scotland

There’s a softness in these essays that doesn’t hide their strength. Faye Rapoport DesPres writes with clarity and courage.

So proud of this project!

Good morning, #5amwritersclub. No pressure, of course.

The process was pretty easy. I’m not sure if it will attract more sales, but it’s nice to have the books for sale directly on my website.

"Toys at Night" gripped one customer enough at the Medina Bookstore on the Isle of Wight that she walked out with a purchased copy after leafing through it, and more news about this charitable children's book: fayerapoportdespres.com/charitable-c... #booksky #books #chiildrensbooks

Good morning, #5amwritersclub. Sometimes one detail sticks out. Go with it.

Good morning, #5amwritersclub. Don’t forget to look up.

Good morning, #5amwritersclub. Sometimes you’ve got to reach a little farther. #squirrel

Those sound like fun quirks!

Good morning, #5amwritersclub. Give your characters a quirk or two. Maybe one saves up the black and pink Necco wafers.

Good morning, #5amwritersclub. It’s time to let in a little light.

The Herald (largest newspaper in Scotland) has printed a feature story about “Toys at Night” and how the unusual histories of the artist, writer (me) and publisher converged for this special and unusual book. Read here: shorturl.at/H1BtU #childrensbooks #booksky #blueskybooks #books #Scotland

Wonderful news about my latest collaboration with artist Anya Lauchlan. #books #childrensbooks #booksky
