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 PieIt's All About the CrustPie 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!

waving from the coast

Three weeks ago my family and I and all our belongings crossed Iowa, Nebraska, Wyoming, Utah, and Nevada into California spring. I went from a lifetime of living on an inside piece of the jigsaw puzzle of the country to one of the outside edges. I can’t get enough of the ocean, the sea, the briny, the drink. 


Two lists of wave words from Chambers Compact Thesaurus:

breaker, roller, billow, ripple, comber, foam, froth, swell, surf, tidal wave, wavelet, undulation, white horse. 

brandish, flourish, flap, flutter, stir, shake, sway, swing, waft, quiver, ripple, surge
