Happy September #kidlitartpostcard day! So begins the season of moody skies & mysteries, initiated here by whispering barn owls.
It’s no secret that I seek agent, editor, AD connections & PB, chapter book & MG projects. I’m also pitching a PB dummy with nocturnal animals soon!

But it was fun to draw and I don’t feel like redoing it.
