Guest Blogs

In the Children's Literature Network's Bookscope, I look back at how Little Klein came about. I've made some lucky mistakes in my day, and this is the story of one of them. 

Novel and Nouveau is Barbara Watson's excellent blog about writing and reading middle grade lit. She generously reviewed The Luck of the Buttons recently, and asked me to write a guest post about process as well. 

Bruce Black, author of Writing Yoga, interviewed me about process on his wonderful blog wordswimmer. Thanks, Bruce!

To celebrate The Luck of the Buttons release, there was a pie party on Amy Alessio's excellent Vintage Cookbooks and Crafts blog! Read and bake here: Memory Pie, It's All About the Crust, Pie Worthy, and Launch Day Pie. Then try Amy's excellent pie craft. 

Children's Literature Network interviewer Tom Owens asks me, What's right with children's literature today? Libraries, that's what!

A few months more to wait for The Luck of the Buttons, but exciting to get an early word from School Library Journal.

How exciting! I loved the copy of Little Klein I received at Beth's Cooking Club night. Can't wait to read this one and get my hands on Dear Papa, too. I'm excited to share them with Mason when he's old enough. Best of luck!
