November is my busiest month with 14 schools to visit for my author presentations. I traveled back to my hometown of St. James, MO and presented in the area last week...

I had a great time with K-2nd graders yesterday at Jefferson Elementary School! Here  are a few pics I was sent from a fun day of talking about Snowman.

I've been refining a few author visit activities for schools to use before and/or after my visits...

I spent some time this morning organizing my school visit travel information for the upcoming school year and ended up plotting all of my destinations on a regional map...

I'm a little behind on my writing tasks because I've been too busy watching the critters in my backyard. I'd accomplish much more if they weren't so photogenic.  Here are a few of my favorite shots...

Some silliness I added to my school presentation...

Thank you to everyone who has helped behind the scenes...

I'm excited to announce that I'm going rogue with a self-published, picture book series...
