New Story News!

Hi all!

I've got two new story manuscripts ready to go, "Conga in the Coop: The Day the Chickens Danced", about the hilarious antics that happen when a flock of chickens gets into a compost heap, and "When the Wind Said Moo," a quieter, more lyrical story about a very strange Friday the 13th (or April Fool's Day), I haven't decided yet.

Next, they go to the editor and then an illustrator.

I'm also working on stories about a timid opossum and maybe even a singing llama!

Watch this space for more information.

I'm excited to be working on a couple of new books!

* Get ready for a barnyard full of magical mischief when a flock of silly chickens suddenly turns wobbly, dizzy and dancy.

* One small step, then one step more... Can a timid little opossum find the courage to reach home, despite the scary obstacles ahead?

Watch this space for updates!
