New book... New website... New blog post!

My new book is out! And to celebrate, I thought I'd revamp my website and blog. It's been a long, tumultuous 4 years since my last blog post- so long, in fact, that the software I used to create my old blog doesn't exist anymore. So if you want to revisit any of my old posts, which wouldn't import, and of which there were a lot, you'll have to click on the link in the right column. They're old posts, I know, but I never throw anything away (no, I don't have every piece of artwork my kids have ever made. That would be ridiculous...)

Sadly, I'll never be that blog-prolific again. But I did want to include a spot on my new website to trumpet great books I'm reading, or share little tidbits about my own books, or just say whatever I want to say that I can't say in 140 characters or less over on twitter.

Fitting writing into my current life is a bit like putting a puzzle together that has an overwhelming number of pieces. But I like a challenge, and I love children's books, so I'll keep working on this puzzle and see how far I can get. Besides- you know that feeling when you finally finish a puzzle that took you forever to complete? Yeah, that's a good feeling. And you won't get it if you don't try.

Thanks for visiting my sparkly new website!

(And many, many thanks to Donna Farrell for the new re-design!)
