Springing Forth with Writerly Updates


In an effort to match the energy and joy of the season I’m springing into action in terms of my writing.

Book Signing
If you live in or around Spokane Valley, Washington you can catch me at the Barnes and Noble store on Saturday, April 19th from 11 am to 3 pm.

Yes, I will be signing my picture book Someday We Will.

It’s been an amazing five years since it was published in 2020–right when COVID locked down schools, libraries, and bookstores, which kind of kiboshed that whirlwind in person book tour originally hoped for.

Celebrating Five Years!

Since then Barnes and Noble and my local library have provided lovely support. This will be my third signing with Barnes and Noble and I’ve done a few storytime sessions with the library.

And thanks for your support! Readers of this blog have purchased Someday We Will through online sources. I still offer the deal of sending you a personalized bookplate. Just provide some details: where and when you bought the book, your address, and the message and I will send out a bookplate to you.

Projects
The winter months kept me inside writing new stories and revising others. I also discovered a knack for collage and began illustrating some of my picture book manuscripts. Here are a couple of samples:

I also decided to create a separate page that highlighted completed manuscripts–a menu, so to speak–in case agents, editors, or publishers decide to stop by for a visit. Feel free to browse at my new page link:
Project Pitches.

Of course not all my time is spent writing. Spring is here which means I’m outside more than inside. Yardwork, walking, biking, reading, and just plain sitting in the sun dozing in the sunshine. Winter is way too long and I am so enraptured the days are longer and warmer AND sunnier!

How are you springing forth this joyous season?

Stories in the Garden


I am a huge fan of our local library. Great location, amazing staff, supreme layout, not to mention its splendid collection that even includes telescopes and seeds.

Last year the library increased its coolness factor by adding a garden. Did I mention the library also boasts a shady reading area with a waterfall?

To get right to the point, the library garden is holding local author story time this summer, and yes—I am one of the authors. Below are a few photos from the event. I read my book last year in the garden, but this year was more amazing because of the addition of a pergola (such a nifty word).

Considering the temps were in the mid 80s with only a hint of a breeze, the turnout was encouraging and there were almost more kids than adults, which is always appreciated. After reading my book and going through the process how a book becomes a book we broke out popsicles, bubbles, and sidewalk chalk–all aspects found in the book.

I have yet to do any classroom visits, but now that I am retired that should be more doable. Reading my book in a garden setting is a memorable way to make connections with the community and I look forward to more connection time with other library events.
