Summer Reading 2011!

Great news! I'll be back on the Summer Reading circuit in 2011 and this blog will get a face lift and some more exciting updates! For posterity sake, I'll save the old blog header right here: That way, you'll know with visual certainty where 2009 ended and 2011 begins:


That way, you'll know with visual certainty where 2009 ended and 2011 began. Not that I was worried about that or anything :) Stay tuned for some thoughts on summer programming, and perhaps a book review or two to whet your appetites.

Boo's Surprise!

Sunday August 9th, 2009 2:00pm

Join me at Trail's End Bookstore in Winthrop, WA
to celebrate the publication of Boo's Surprise.

This sequel to Boo's Dinosaur (2006) has been praised by Kirkus Reviews for its upbeat voice, convincing family relationships, child-centered dialog, and engaging double-page drawings.

Meet the illustrator (yours truly!) and get your photo taken with Boo and her brand new dinosaur. Plus, I'll bring treats and a "surprise" drawing project.

Please, please, please, please, please, stop on by!

What Happens Next?

Hello there Summer Readers!

A week off from visits didn't mean that I was sleeping in everyday and soaking in the pool (river). No siree, Bob! First of all, it took me a few days to catch up on all of your fantastic story ideas for the notorious Madam Zorony. Pages 1-12 are now posted on the blog and you can print and color them to your heart's content.

I've also been hard at work on some final art for a new book of my own, face painting at the Methow Arts Fest, AND celebrating the arrival of my hardcover author copies for Boo's Suprise! This book's official publication date is August 4th, but they always try to slip us a copy or two on the early side. Its really fun to have worked on my first sequel (to Boo's Dinosaur) and Besty Byars is a terrific storyteller. Kirkus has already given us a nice review, so look for a copy when you get the chance and find out what's new in the world of Boo.

I hit the road for Entiat and Peshastin tomorrow. So... what happens next?
