I Have a New Newsletter!

I'm moving to Substack! 

Due to circumstances beyond my control, the platform I was using for my author newsletter is no longer available to me. So, I've decided to change things up a bit by creating a new newsletter/blog. I'm calling it Snippets and Sketches, and it is a newsletter for people who like art, poetry, and children’s books, especially when all three of those things come together. In this new newsletter I will not only be sharing updates about my books, but also snippets about what I'm reading and writing, short poems, tips on writing concisely and poetically, and sketches and other forms of art that I create as I work toward my goal of being a children's book illustrator (if you've followed me for a while, you know that's a dream of mine that, up until recently, I've been too chicken to consistently pursue). 

What does this mean for my current blog? I'm glad you asked!

This website will still be a place to easily find information about me and my books. It will simply be more focused and simple. And it will be getting a make-over in the coming weeks. 

So, why should you subscribe to my Substack? 

• You won't miss out on important updates like you might if you only follow me on social media, which is unpredictable and always changing.
• The newsletter will not only be fun and informative, it will also be SHORT. Like, you can read most posts in a minute or two short.
• I'll share regular tips for children's books writers, children's books that I love (and why), original poems and art, excerpts, and more.
• Occasional photos of my dogs, grandkids, and homemade bread!
