Events Scheduled!

I'm delighted to be scheduling some in-person events again.

 

Thursday, October 27, 5-6 p.m. 

I'll be reading On a Windy Night at the Woodbine Public Library, 103 East 8th Street, Woodbine, GA along with Jen Tacbas of Great Books for Kids, who will read the Halloween classic, Room on the Broom. Each child who attends will receive a copy of both books in a book bag along with Halloween treats (no tricks!). 

 

Saturday, December 3, 9-4

I will be selling and signing all 14 of my books at the Holiday Market at my church, Lord of Life Lutheran, 2801 Frederica, Saint Simons Island, GA. This event hasn't happened the last two years, so Applesauce Is Fun to Wear and Baby's Opposites have come out since then, along with the board book version of Baby's Firsts.

 

Saturday, February 18, 2023, 9-4

At the Amelia Island Book Festival, I will have a table at the Authors' Expo & Readers' Extravaganza, Fernandina Beach Middle School, 315 Citrona Drive, Fernandina Beach, FL. I will be selling and signing all of my titles. Stop by and say hi!

My First Board Book Available

Baby's Firsts is coming in board book format
Baby's Firsts is out in the world as a board book. 

A board book version of Baby's Firsts came out from Charlesbridge May 17, 2022. This is the perfect format for babies and their young siblings to enjoy this classic look at the milestones of the first year. The title has been the perfect baby and first birthday gift--and this new format makes it even more perfect. With 1- and 2-year-old grandsons, I am over the moon kmowing they can have and hold and do their worst to one of my books! Parents who only buy board books for their 0 to 3-year-olds will now have this choice.

What a pleasure it was to do my first virtual author visit with illustrator Rebecca Evans for the BookMark of Neptune Beach, FL! We interviewed each other, giving viewers a look at how the words and delightful illustrations came together. And we demonstrated an opposites game you can play at home. Watch it here.
