Who Wants to Party?!

Hope everyone is doing fantastic!  Work is keeping me really busy but I'm trying to keep up with all my author obligations as well.  It's hard to balance everything isn't it?  I didn't start this post to vent lol but to tell you about two upcoming Facebook events I will be a part of this week.

The first one is tomorrow, Tuesday Sept. 23, and I will be on between 4:30-5pm eastern time.  This party is to celebrate a fellow children's book author and friend on her latest release.  The party will be going on all day so come and join in on all the fun!

The second event is on Thursday Sept. 25 and I will be on between 4-5pm eastern time.  This party is to celebrate my publishing company, Beau Coup Publishing, on it's first year out!  Woohoo!  I don't know if they will ever know how grateful I am that I found them and that they took a chance on me. Party will be going on all day! You will meet some fantastic new authors who writes in all sorts of different genres.  Come join in all the fun and games!  Can't wait to chat and have some fun :)

Feeling Proud

Wow, the first weeks back to school have been full of fun, and a little chaos mixed in with some stress.  I hurt my back, probably doing something I shouldn't be doing, and haven't been on the computer much this past week.  I have managed to get all my illustrations complete for my third book except for the cover!  I'm thrilled! I do however have it sketched out, just need to get it drawn on the computer. Hoping to get it done very soon. 

So this week, I was excited when a fourth grade classroom I work in asked me to bring in one of my books to read to them.  Today I went in and read Imagination Destination.  I got to talk to them about the scenes in the book and how I came up with the idea for it, who my characters were based on, all the research I do, the ways I create my illustrations and how all of that turns into a book.  They were so enthusiastic and drawn into the story, curious and hopefully inspired to create their own story.  I was thrilled when I got to one scene where I give clues to who the mystery creature is and they were picking up on them and getting excited for the reveal.  It was so cool!  I created the book the way I did hoping it would pull them into it, get them wanting to go out and use their own imaginations to create some fun.  I accomplished that very goal today with that class.  I am so proud :)

Haven't read the book yet?  Here's the link:   http://tinyurl.com/ljvpjsr

Happy Reading!

Done! Well, almost.

For many of us, it's already time for our kids to start back to school for another school year.  Being a teacher, it's also that time for me.  I'm not at all ready to go back but I did reach my goal of completing all the illustrations for book three!  WooHoo!!!  I am going back now and doing touch ups on all of them, trying to settle on a title and doing one final edit of my story before I send it to my publisher.  There's still a lot more steps to go but I'm happy with the progress so far.  I can't wait to share this book with you!  Stay tuned for more but for now be sure to check out my other two books on Amazon: World of Color and Imagination Destination. 

Summer went by way to fast and this is me right now LOL
