Hello there, little one. I love it when I start to see a character beginning to develop and take shape. It’s like magic. 💫

Inspired by a beautiful Claude Monet painting, a little artist decides to create her own masterpiece, but her puppy has other ideas.

Just under 8 months until CLAUDE unveils his masterpiece!

One of my favorite things in creating art is light. ✨Hope is being able to see that there is light despite all of the darkness. #positivitypost #kidlitart

I'm holding onto the hope that the perfect editor will fall in love with this book. It’s a story about kindness, a message I feel our world needs now more than ever, for readers of all ages.
The manuscript is officially out on submission with my incredible agent, @kterrette!

As we bid farewell to these last hot summer days, I remember childhood, when I used to sing into the fan and hear a warbly alien voice sing back. Did you ever do that? Daily dose of #positivity, including #peace, #hope, #love, or #wonder to bring smiles to your faces. Feel free to share the love.

Telling my overly-sensitive over-thinking self that every new stressful challenge (like taking care of a dog after surgery in a recovery cone-of-shame who drools when anxious so he gets a hot spot on top of the other issue) is like bringing home a new baby. It will get easier with time.
