I have been invited to visit two branches of the Anaheim Public Library for an author presentation. It is scheduled for November, which fits in nicely with I KNOW AN OLD LADY WHO SWALLOWED A PIE - since it is a Thanksgiving story!

We are currently planning to market THIS LITTLE TURTLE as  a tie-in to the common core curriculum. It is "literary non-fiction" that incorporates rhyme, science and new vocabulary. I'm hoping this helps in finding a home for the manuscript!

Sent my agent a manuscript entitled SHIVER ME SHIVERS. Based on "The night before Christmas," it's the story of a group of pirates who set out on Halloween night to find a haunted ship. The ghostly galleon is only visible each year on Halloween, and they hope to steal the captain's treasure.
