Rain, Rain Go Away, that's going to be my new theme song. Over
20 days of rain in the month of June for Western Mass and it just keeps coming. Right now it's sunny (probably just
jinxed it) but more showers are on the way for this first week of July.
My latest article for Writer2Writer is now online. Summer's Here, Now What? helps writers stay productive even when the kids are at home. You'll also find two new interviews with yours
truly available. Check the What's New section for more information
The Little Shepherd Boy has been picked up by Guardian Angel Publishing. It's due to be released sometime late next year. I'm also in the midst of revising My Visit with Santa
to get that ready to submit to a publisher. Can you tell I love Christmas?
The Summer issue of Musing Our Children's Pages & Pens ~ your
tools to imagination should be out soon. Look for an announcement here when it hits the Web.
Feel free to sign my guestbook or visit my contact page to let me know you stopped
by.
Wishing you all the best,
