Bad News–Good News, Published 9/28/23

My agent and one of my editors, (Wiley Blevins), were at ALA and snapped this picture together holding my books!

 

I got my first peek at the illustrations for my next picture book, OF WORDS & WATER–The Story of Wilma Dykeman, Writer, Historian, Environmentalist. The tentative publication date is April 16th, 2024.
