Dear Friends,
My daughter’s violin was stolen from our home by a cleaning service and I know that it is a long shot, but I am desperately seeking it.

Yesterday we got the call and today we helped transport two beagles from St. Louis to Greenup, Illinois with The Beagle Freedom Project, from their lives of abuse to their furever homes.
Godspeed, Jeremiah and Ben. We hope the rest of your days are filled with happiness, safety, and love.

I don’t know who said it, but I remember an author saying that her novel “still smelled like chlorine” to her because she wrote it during her child’s swim lessons.
I think about this quote often.
I wonder what will my first book will smell like?

It’s #NationalFeralCat day, so here’s a picture of our formerly feral feline, Zeus. Who now lives in the lap of luxury and tells us daily how grateful he is that we converted him from his wild ways with kisses and snuggles.

I have a weak spot for my local grocery store’s bargain book bin… so much so, I sometimes mistakenly buy the same books twice. 🤫
Duplicates will be donated to a local #littlefreelibrary.

October is dyslexia awareness month.
Did I mention that I have the perfect picture book manuscript about a dragon with dyslexia, inspired by my own daughter with dyslexia?

Happy Mother’s Day to all the moms.
My family spoiled me today with homemade lavender and fennel scones, my new stylish overalls, a beautiful, hand-crocheted infinity scarf and a pile of picture books.
My heart is full.
