Sudden summer paints
a world of green and blue on
winter’s white canvas

I love @viviankirkfield.bsky.social #50preciouswords contest and I’m honoured to be a winner this year!
Thank you Vivian and judges for such a stellar organisation. We love you… and we’re looking forward to next year already. But we’ll give you a breather first 😘

True!
Dang. I really wanted to see you shimmy…

So, how do you get your books in front of readers?

By marketing (which is NOT the same as selling and is NOT a dirty word). Marketing is all about creating delicious connections.

A propos of no #kidlit but just because the place is beautiful, she’s beautiful and we had a lovely hike. Taking a week from editing and teaching editing to recharge.

I love autumn, and I have an autumn dog 🍁 Makes sense.

She was meant to ‘stay’, and it’s quite obvious that (to her) this means ‘don’t get up’, so she crawled about 2 meters with a big old smile on her face. She was very very proud.
Hope you feel better soon!

If you don’t know your dactyl from your pterodactyl, this one’s for you 😂

But don’t give up.

Or change it up. To all the weary kidlit writers out there, I know the struggle. Who’s tried their luck at writing for children’s magazines instead?
