Returning to blogging after two weeks of R & R, but mostly fun times with family. Stay tuned for a post about the SCBWI LA conference, with lots of valuable info.
I'm a children's book author and my debut picture book, "Tonight You Are My Baby" (HarperCollins Children's Books), was released in Fall 2008. In this blog, I hope to share writing tips and helpful information that I have learned on my journey from an aspiring writer to a published author.
Book Description:
On Christmas night, Mary holds Jesus and speaks of the power of a mother's love for her baby. This Christmas picture book is an intimate portrayal of the Nativity infused with a mother's boundless love.
