The Society Children Books Writers and Illustrators Regional meeting

The Speaker for this month was none other than the famous illustrator Bill Ferguson. He and his lovely wife shared his inspirational  journey as an illustrator. After his hands on activity, he made a point to speak individually with many of us. It was indeed a special night.

Family

January is a busy month for family. I have five brothers and out of the five three have January birthdays, one sister -in-law has a birthday, and we have had two weddings: a second cousin and a nephew! I could share with you all the great things about coming from a large family, but in a nutshell life is never dull.
On top of the weddings, the family helped my mom moved into her house after being flooded out twice, back to back!

New Channel

Pinterest channel is my exciting news.

I have enjoyed Pinterest over the past several years and I finally took the leap to learn how to design my own pins and place them on a biz page. I do hope you will enjoy them. Each month I will post new pins with a theme for that month. I hope you will find them inspirational as well as entertaining.

Plans

I am busy laying out when my art work for my next book in the series the Little Girl in the Moon will be ready. I look forward to giving you more info as the book progresses. I will give you a tiny hint! The Little boy in the moon will be introduced in the upcoming book. 

I have two more stories written independent of the Little Girl in the Moon Series and I have submitted them to the publisher… it is all very exciting!
