What I’m working on
I took a long break after writing my last book Olly Explores 7 Wonders of the Chesapeake Bay. Life can get pretty busy at times. Now I find that my creative energy is about to burst. I’ve always wanted to try self-publishing, and with all the tools that are available to today’s writers and artists, I can’t wait to get going.
I’m working on another picture book about the Bay (I just can’t resist) as well as some middle grade novels I had started years ago. I’m also thinking about chapter books and easy readers. My greatest challenge will be learning illustration. I have a little know-how, but I also have a lot to learn.
If you want to follow my journey into self-publishing, subscribe to my blog for updates. I will be adding to the writing tips section and sharing what I learn as I go. Talk to you soon!
Tools I Use
Stop by my Tools I Use page where I share tools and resources I use to help me with my writing projects. I will add to this list as I learn more about software and digital tools that make life a little easier for today’s writer.
