Officially on Vacation...

It feels like it's been forever ago since I've been on a real vacation, and am feeling out of practice!

Regardless, I am looking forward to being back in Europe, and having airport security think that my cameras are "hard drives". :P

Will report back mid May!

Strategy For "Sometimes, With Ghosts..."

Gosh...how to go about getting this little book out there into the world?

It's been trying at times, however I have to keep reminding myself why I made this book, and to believe that it now has a life and journey of it's own.

So with all that said, I sent out a few copies to people whom I do not know, but who work in the care of children's emotional health.

It is literally casting a net and see what happens.

I hope, in my heart of hearts, that the little book will resonate with most, if not all within that group, and that the book will help a child/individual or two.

Sometimes, with ghosts...

So I wrote, illustrated and self-published a little book... :)

If you live in the city, and would like one, please email me.

Otherwise, this little book is available on my ETSY shop. :)
