A new year brings renewed hope

Hello January and February!

(updated May 2022)

I apologize for the lack of blog posts recently. I have been rewriting the intro to several of my books. I am a member of SCBWI (Society of Children’s Book Writers and Illustrators). I have been to various webinars honing my craft.

Hopefully I will soon be writing blogs more often.

January is national Blood Donor Month

The Red Cross website is a great resource for information on blood donation. Donating blood is so important if you can especially as we navigate through the Covid 19 pandemic.
