I am home now. Back from 11 days at Vermont College of Fine Arts in Montpelier. Between finishing up the Picture Book Certificate program, acting as a grad ass’t. (along with 6 others) and attending and presenting at the alumni mini-rez, it was a full 11 days.

My first picture book, BLUE ON BLUE, illustrated by the amazing Beth Krommes, will be published by Beach Lane Books (Simon and Schuster) in 2014.
