The season is going sneak up fast! My picture book SEARCHING FOR SANTA, is back on my Etsy site! Rhyming text. One dog’s search for the REAL Santa Claus! Didn’t we all wonder why there were so many Santa’s around town when we were kids! www.etsy.com/shop/JoRenfr...

It’s almost that time of year! (Actually I’ve already polished off one bag) I’m curious…which team are you on in the candy corn debate?

I'm putting this out into the Universe.

I'm looking for a design job at a publishing company specifically for children's books. I have experience, creativity, and am passionate about books for kids.

Thank you!

Oh by the way, don’t forget you can ask your library to order nearly any book you want to read but don’t want to buy. And as authors we love libraries buying our books & readers being able to access them through libraries.

I’m so excited! Peg is back next spring and I think this is the funniest Peg yet!

On this day in 1868, the 14th Amendment was ratified. The text is just as clear and relevant today as it was back then. Donald Trump is trying to erase this.

We have to protect our wild, natural spaces for generations to come. We can’t allow this to happen. John Muir said, “In every walk with nature one receives far more than he seeks.” Speak up! Call your legislators. Push back.
