Fiske's General Store, Saturday May 7th

This Saturday, May 7th, from 1-3, I will be at the fabulous community-oriented Fiske's General Store in my own town of Holliston. For you city dwellers, this is a great time to head west of Boston, where small town charm abounds, the woods and lakes beckon, and the crepes next door at Pejamajo's are yummy.

Event at Eight Cousins in Falmouth, MA

On Sunday April 17th, I will be sharing my early reader, Ducks Go Vroom at Eight Cousins Children's Bookstore in Falmouth, MA from 12 pm - 2 pm. Stop by at anytime to chat and get a book signed! I'll be doing an interactive read-aloud or two starting at noon and will talk about how a children's book gets made.

Hunger Mountain

The Katherine Paterson Prize stories are now online at Vermont College of Fine Arts Journal, Hunger Mountain. You can read my story, Something At the Hill, as well as those of the winner and other runners-up. And browse while you're there -- Hunger Mountain has wonderful essays on children's literature as well as fine fiction and poetry for adults.

DUCKS GO VROOM on sale!

I'm celebrating the release on Saturday, February 12th at 2pm at Wellesley Booksmith, 82 Central Street, Wellesley MA. There will be cake, ducks, coloring, and a presentation on how a book goes from an idea to a finished product, probably not in that order. Get a book signed for your valentine!
