New Books!

Excited for two new books this year! First up will be my second Little Golden Book. This one is on Julia Child. It was so much fun to write and research. It even coincided with a trip to Paris my family took and I got to bring the cover of the book around to see some of the sights.

The second book will be the 5th in the Maddie and Mabel series. It’s hard to believe that my first little book has turned into five! Working with Kind World Publishing on these books has been so much fun and a lovely experience.

2024 is going to be a good one in my little corner of the book world!

Julia Child will be released on November 5th, 2024.

SHELF

As part of a course I took last summer with kidlit author extraordinaire Jess Keating, I had to imagine what I pictured a successful author had or looked like. One of the things I pictured was an entire shelf filled with their books on it. Rather than wait for the shelf to appear, when the holidays rolled around, I asked for one. My husband and I hung it on the wall and it took a few tries to get it level and secure. Then I waited. This week my author copies arrived for Maddie and Mabel , my first book. Even though the shelf is slightly crooked, it’s mine, partially filled, with room for more. (And there will be more, that’s the thing that amazes me.) If it fills all the way up, I will build another one and then another one…I’ve got plenty of wall space.
