It has been a while since my last update. The Waterfowl Festival in November was a big success. It was a beautiful Fall day, and I enjoyed reading to children and spending time with fellow authors Lois Szymanski, Cindy Freeland, and Veronica Bartles. I also enjoyed spending time with my daughter and my niece which was great fun. In addition to selling books, we had time to walk around the festival in beautiful historic Easton. I love the old brick sidewalks and buildings, small shops, and friendly faces. If you’re ever near Easton, Maryland be sure to stop by for a visit!

Looking back on this year, it has been very productive with two new picture books and an updated edition of a chapter book. Woohoo! I’m now working on the second book in my Animals Do What? Series and the second book in the Tyler Tate Mystery Series. I will share details about my progress soon. Both are in the early planning stages.

If you are able to snag a copy of one of my books and you enjoy it, please consider leaving a review on the site where you purchased it. It means more than you know; honest reviews help authors like me to grow and reach new readers! Thank you, thank you, thank you, in advance!
