Thanks to America’s Kids Belong!
Thank you to America’s Kids Belong, an organization dedicated to improving the outcomes and experiences for children in foster care, for adding Sharing My Family to their resource list!

Details, details…help me check the details?
Well, turns out there is lots to be done as an illustrator long after you *think* you have done the bulk of the work! Meet Amara, above. She is Zee’s little sister in Sharing My Family. She likes to fingerpaint…and I like adding fingerpaint to those tiny little fingers! If you have an eye forContinue reading “Details, details…help me check the details?”
Back in the swing of things
School is out, for kids and myself, and so I am back in the swing of things author/illustrator-wise, working away on Sharing My Family.

Soon-to-be Published!
They say not to publish “the” book as your first book, to avoid making rookie mistakes in the formatting and printing process. Better to start with a less near-and-dear to your heart book…and so, I am pleased to announce the release of my first book, “Radial Designs to Color and Draw,” available at the end of May 2024.
Decisions
Turns out, there are a million decisions to be made when it comes to getting started as an author.
Time and Backfill
Apparently WordPress doesn’t want me to post just one entry to my ‘blog’…which is really just meant to be a periodic update page for anyone wanting to know what’s coming next. It has decided to backfill with automated ‘how-to-blog’ type text so that it appears I have posted several times already. Which I have not.Continue reading “Time and Backfill”
