ANNOUNCEMENT! ANNOUNCMENT! ANNOUNCEMENT! I feel like I’m having a baby, although I’m not at all suggesting that what I’m about to tell you is anywhere close to the unexplainable, inconceivable experience of birthing my children. Not anywhere near but certainly hands-down, the best news I’ve had in all these pandemic days.
And not to overlook how equally excited I am that I don’t have to send out a snail-mail bunch of birth announcements to let the whole world know. I can tell the world from here! And if you’re reading this, you’re my world! 🙂
Thanks to Orange Hat Publishing, my picture book . . .
TURTLE ON THE TRACK
is due February 2, 2022!

Can you remember 2-2-22?
Yup! You’ve got it!
It’s been a growing process of almost 8 long years! Think: An elephant’s gestational period of 2 years X 4! (Soooo glad I’m not an elephant.)
Stops and starts, curves and surprises, fear and trepidation 🥺🤔😩😯! Think: Disney World’s Space Mountain!
All work and all fun wrapped into one! Think: Sweet and salty! (Mmmm . . . the best.)




Pre-orders as soon as December 16, 2021! (Pre-ordering is a HUGE help to authors!)
I’ll keep you posted as the delivery date approaches and then we’ll party!
If you want to help me spread the word, contact me here on my website!
Until then remember . . .


And if you’re needing a book to help you keep dreaming, check out TURTLE WALK, by Matt Phelan.
It’s more than a walk. It’s a stroll of perseverance through the seasons.
A stroll that brings you to a joyful surprise after putting one turtle foot in front of the other.
In a nutshell—a very tiny nutshell—it’s my journey told by a turtle family.
You can peek more into TURTLE WALK here.
And don’t wait too long to take your own turtle walk.
Ready . . . . set . . . . slow.




And for all you turtle enthusiasts, check these out . . .

Now . . . what was that delivery date again?
Congrats Karen! That’s a real milestone! Can’t wait to read it😊.
