Doing research for one of my book ideas. I'm searching for images of trolls. Guess you could say that I'm TROLLING! Snort! Ah ha ha ha ha -- I slay myself. #Research #BookResearch #Trolls #Trolling #kidlit

Ella & Bruna are two young gnomes. They are the best of friends, but still have a jolly good argument every now & then. They love to go outside when the first snow falls, & dance around, singing and laughing as the flakes fall. #Gnome #Gnomes #kidlit #GnomeFriends #Snow #Winter #kidlitart

We've started watching Christmas movies early this year -- not sure exactly why, other than I'm itching to get into the Christmas mood. I can't really explain it, but the movie Krampus has quickly become one of my new fave Xmas films. It's riveting, is all I can say. #Krampus #ChristmasFilm #Xmas

I'm not a big reader of graphic novels. My one true love seems to be picture books. But this graphic novel of William Golding's Lord of the Flies is amazing. Adapted & illustrated by Aimee De Jongh, this GN is a true gem. Excellent storyboarding & illustration. #GraphicNovel #kidlit #kidlitart

Here's a nice news clip about my favourite bookstore, A Different Drummer in Burlington, On. I grew up in Burlington, and spent a lot of time in this store as a teen. So it was such a wondrous feeling hosting book launches here! DD really supports their local authors. www.youtube.com/watch?v=lMYJ...

There's been a light dusting of snow throughout the day so I'm posting one of my fox drawings to get into the winter mood. I'm wintering! #Fox #Foxes #Winter #Snow #Wintering #ColouredPencils

I still dream of creating a Christmas picture book. I've done Thanksgiving & Halloween books, which were so much fun. I have two Christmas ideas so far -- both kind of quirky 12 Days of Christmas songs. Too predictable? I know, I know -- just do the work, send it out and pray. #ChristmasBook #kidlit

I'm late to the chat! Great topic. I'm forever thankful for the never-ending support I get from my husband, Guy. He's always encouraging, & he's had to listen to a lot of my insecurities & gripes. Plus he even takes part in some of my presentations! We even wrote a pic book together. #kidlitchat
