I'M BACK . . . WITH GOOD NEWS AND A GIVEAWAY!

I've had an amazingly busy couple of months and have been sitting on some happy news which I'm now at liberty to share.

First of all, my picture book, FLIP AND THE FLAPJACK, is being published by FLYING BOOKS APPS for iPad! Artist extraordinaire, Toni Pawlowsky, is bringing this Western retelling of the runaway pancake folktale to life. I AM SO THRILLED! I'll be sure to let you know when it launches!

AND... sweet little Sophia was added to our family! We are both well, with the usual inversion of days and nights.



To celebrate, I'm giving away Nathan Bransford's newest middle-grade novel, JACOB WONDERBAR FOR PRESIDENT OF THE UNIVERSE. I learned a lot from Nathan's blog, and he's one funny guy. Thanks, Nathan!


Just say hello, tell me what you're reading or give me a great parenting tidbit (hey, I need all the help I can get!) in the comments below and you're entered! I'll announce a winner June 1st.

    Hoorah times three!
    And also “hello’, welcome Sophia {beautiful name for a beautiful girl} and congratulations on the PB app.
    You don’t want to know what I’m reading, because I can’t recommend and I don’t mention what I don’t recommend. I hope what I’ve read just before counts- Richard Peck’s Secrets at Sea. I’ll always recommend anything by him.
    Seems you don’t need parenting advice with the boys already doing some of the lifting… Just this tiny bit then- (you can tell I want Nathan B.’s book) The no-full-night’s-sleep will pass sooner than you think, sooner than with the first two. Sophia has them for stimulation during the day, and that helps.

    Congratulations on both pieces of news! Wonderful! I know I'm late for the giveway, but wanted to give you all my best just the same. Hope you can get some rest :)

      Thank you, Amanda! Sophie only woke once last night, so I'm feeling almost human again! :)
