The Challenge…12 months, 12 complete picture book drafts.  Wish me luck!

I had a wonderful school visit at The Margaret Murphy Center in Auburn, Maine last week. I made new friends:)

Trout, are you getting ready?

I’m ready for a busy winter and holiday season!  Check out my schedule to the right and see where I’ll be.  From book signings, school visits, an illustrators art exhibit with my fellow seacoast illustrators, to a wonderful Holiday Art Show where I’ll have my cards, prints, books and original art for sale!  If you are in the area, stop by and say hi!

My first Cat Show ever…I’ve never been to a cat show!  I won’t be showing my cat but I will have a booth at this weekends’ Cat Show and Holiday Gift/Craft Show.

I’ll have lots of L is for Lobster, Fishing for Numbers, Little Maine and of course, My Cat, Coon Cat, to purchase.  I would love to sign and personalize a book for YOU!   You will also find my artwork and framed prints for sale along with my holiday cards and other items.

You may even meet Trout…still deciding whether he should go and keep me company.
