Author life, Mouse's Christmas Gift

Launch Party — Sunday October 7–Hope to see you there! Look at what I’m giving away!

If you attend my LAUNCH PARTY, you can enter to win one of three give-aways.

Getting Ready For Book Events

In my book, Mouse’s Christmas Gift, the villagers decorate a tree near the church with hair ribbons and quilt squares.

My dear friend Tonia made a tree that we can decorate together at book events. It turned out so cute!  I can’t wait to use it!

Hope you can join me at an event!  Check out all of my events by clicking on the link on the home page of this blog. 
Coming up:
October 7th LAUNCH PARTY at The Well Coffeehouse in Fishers, IN
And on October 11, Story Time at Baker Book House in Grand Rapids, MI.
Hope to see you there!
