A big, big, BIG day!
Okay… so it’s officially official. I’m now an actual children’s author. I stopped in at two local bookstores, and saw Up and Down the Scratchy Mountains face-out at both.
(here it is, at Little Shop of Stories!)
Then, in an odd coincidence, on Publisher’s Marketplace today, there was this…
Laurel Snyder’s PENNY DREADFUL, about a young girl who moves to a strange little town in the country and has trouble making new friends amongst her rather odd neighbors, to Mallory Loehr at Random House Children’s, by Tina Wexler at ICM (World).
So now I can shout about it. I’ve sold my third novel to my awesome editor at Random House!!!
And to top it all off, Slidy Diner comes out in October!!!
I’m over, over, over the MOOOOOOOOOON!

Shut UP! SQUEEEEEEEE!!!! I’m so excited!
Book number three? Face out in two stores? (Polli faints.) It’s sad times to be your far-away-friend right now, with all the doings in your life! Sigh…

Book Passage did NOT have Scratchy Mountain so I ordered one, and plan to rave about it when I go to pick it up. I can say I knew you when… (you were 4).
