The friends of the #wornstaffpubliclibrary hosted my author visit. They and the staff are the absolute best! Their board recommended an almost lifesize cut out (crazy funny). One member made me a custom bookworm bag (priceless). And the kids all participated during the event! #kidlit #blessed

That should have read "to" not "too". This is why writers need editors, lol 😂

I agree. After fifteen years in the trenches, I no longer really expect much. I keep trying anyway just in case, but I don't get super excited like I used too.

I feel the disappointment, and then I do my best to let it go. I keep writing new stories thanks in part to 12x12pb, I look for the next opportunity, and I work to remember that no matter how small the spark of hope is after all these years, it's still burning!

I just reviewed Do Not Turn The Page by Jane Blondie and Marcus Cutler and it was a super fun read you should check out for yourself! #kidlit #Cankidlit www.goodreads.com/review/show/...

Aileen Stewart's review of Do Not Turn the Page!

5/5: I accidentally won this book in a contest which was only supposed to be available to Canadian readers, but Jane Blondie was kind enough to send me a copy anyway, and I am super delighted she did!...
