Hope is the thing with feathers  
That perches in the soul,  
And sings the tune without the words,  
And never stops at all,

To the tintinabulation that so musically wells
From the bells, bells, bells, bells,
Bells, bells, bells—
From the jingling and the tinkling of the bells.

Away down the river,
A hundred miles or more,
Other little children
Shall bring my boats ashore.

Congratulations to ABLA client Brodi Ashton on the release of the MY LADY JANE tv show on Prime Video!

If you've finished watching the show (and have already read the book), did you know there is more about the world of Ethians in MY CONTRARY MARY? And some familiar characters may pop up too...

Hello Bluesky-ers!
A bit about myself.....I write and illustrate both fiction and non-fiction books for kids. I love whimsy and quirky characters, friendships and mischief. Looking forward to a less hectic, more arty social media experience. 🕊️✌️
