What’s something you wish others knew about you?

Most people know this but just in case I'll mention it tonight. I write children books. I have four published.

1. The Well-Mannered Giant. This one is a favorite of mine.
2. Ride, Rocky, Ride. Very cute one.
3. I Thought I Saw a Lion.
4. A Calf named Boo. My 2 year old great-granddaughter walks around the house carrying it and recites some of it as she walks. She's so cute. And that makes me feel so lucky.

I have six that I'm working on right now. They are going to be so dang cute. Has anyone else written children books? Mine usually rhyme. My grandkids always loved that part.

Oh, good for you!

I've thought about it before, but never have. If I did, it would probably be middle grade or YA. Those are frustrating, yet formative years.

Rhyming children's books are the best.

I love knowing that! I’ll have to look them up if my interviews are successful and I end up with a suitably-aged classroom bookshelf to populate.
When my partner’s youngest half brother was five or so, I wrote a little book for one of his birthdays that was about him going on different adventures. Then my partner illustrated it. All of my published work (thin on the ground so far) has been poetry and short fiction geared towards adults, all in small one-off publications.
