Cat Diaries Cover Art!

Here is a sneak peak of the CAT DIARIES cover art. I mailed this off to the publisher yesterday. Hooray! The book won't be published until Fall 2010 (maybe spring?) but its one of the many recent projects that I'll be sharing during the summer reading tour... which starts up in just about a month. Saddle up!

Earth Day

It's not even summer, and already you can get those creative juices flowing! In the spirit of Earth Day, here is a great link to a new children's book on the subject of recycling and reuse.

Check out Anna Alter's new book, What Can you Do With an old Red Shoe?, and you might get inspired to create a summer project or two... if you can put down your books and stop reading :)

I'm in a summer livin' sort of mood already!

Summer Reading 2009!

Welcome to my home away from home for the 2009 "Be Creative @ your Library" summer visits tour!

In due course, I will post a schedule, but more importantly, this will be the site of our ongoing Summer Serial. Kids from all over North Central Washington state, from Royal City and Mattawa, to Oroville and Winthrop, will help me write a story and draw the pictures.

The adventure begins on June 16th and won't be finished until August 4th. Stay Tuned!
