*****FIVE STARS from Reader Views

/in , /by

Mail-Order Monsters: Crash Course gets a FIVE-STAR Recommended review from Reader Views! Whoo hoooo! I’m so thankful for organizations and regular folk who leave positive reviews. They help other readers learn about a title and whether it’s their jam and worth the purchase.

If you’ve left a nice review, thank you! If you want to–but don’t know where to start–here’s the link to my book’s Goodreads page. Remember, you don’t have to assign yourself a book report! No summary needed. A simple sentence or two stating how/why you liked the story or characters or how the book made you feel is absolute gold to an author and so very helpful to a  reader deciding whether to try out a book.

November always makes me turn an eye toward gratitude. I’m thankful for all y’all who support their friends and help creators soldier on.

Burlington Public Library’s Children’s Book Festival

/in /by

Library events can be really lovely, bringing together passionate readers and authors while encouraging community among everyone who loves books. So you can imagine how much my husband and I enjoyed the Burlington (WI) Public Library’s Children’s Book Festival. It was their first, co-organized with author Joyce Uglow, leader of the Wisconsin chapter of the Society of Children’s Book Writers and Illustrators.

Jeff and I are on a tour promoting our latest collaboration, the award-winning middle grade novel Mail-Order Monsters: Crash Course. Here’s what our table looked like (he’s taking the photo), and another pic of a few author friends there too. Probably 20ish authors were there, so attendees found enough books to satisfy every taste, yet the event was intimate enough to chat awhile. A very nice event. Thanks to all who attended, participated, organized, and created. Great fun. 🙂
