Grab a broom and fly on over to any one of FIVE Little Free Libraries in the Orlando Area -- BroomMates has landed! #WitchyFlight @little_press @RateYourStory #BroomMates at 1800 Emerson Ridge Road, Kissimmee Florida -- it's filled with ghoulishly good books, AND, as an added bonus the surrounding streets are name for authors like Shakespeare and Hemingway!
This Sat., Oct. 24th, at the square in Jacksonville, IL. I'm the Children's Book Author mentioned on the list. Throughout the day, I'll be reading excerpts from my books, The Memory Jar, Cows Can't Be Clowns, and Grandpa's Barn. You can also purchase autographed copies that day.
This Saturday, October 17th, I'll be at St. Joseph the Worker Church, 700 E. Spruce, Chatham, IL from 8:30 AM - 2 PM autographing my books. Stop by and check out all the vendors.
Monday was FARMERS DAY. I love that farmers have a special day on the calendar. They feed the world. I hope you check out my two PBs with farm animals, Grandpa's Barn and Cows Can't Be Clowns. If see a farmer, tell them thank you.
I had a fun evening autographing books at the MAKING STRIDES AGAINST BREAST CANCER fundraiser Kick-Off last night in Springfield. The winner of my raffle, a hardcover copy of Cows Can't Be Clowns, was a father of five young children. He seemed very happy to have won.
Making Strides Against Breast Cancer FUNdraising kickoff starts tomorrow at Motorheads, 600 Toronto Road, Springfield, IL. They will have vendors, a silent auction, and music. Mark your calendar October 8th, 5-8pm.
I'll be there with my children's picture books.
October is National Rescue Dog Month. This is my sweet rescue dog, Princess Daisy. Her gotcha day is July 11, 2026.
Happy World's Teachers Day! I wouldn't be the writer I am today without the encouragement of my teachers. Tell a teacher "Thank you" today for making a difference in your life.
Here's where I'll be today. I can't guarantee my goose outfits will turn out as nice as these, but I'll have fun trying.
Tri-City Library in Buffalo, IL. Photo on the left was taken in 2016. Photo on the right was taken Sept 26, 2026. Beautiful library with friendly and fun staff.
I'm excited to be one of the vendors at the Tri-City Public Library this Saturday. I'll be autographing copies of my picture books, The Memory Jar, Cows Can't Be Clowns, and Grandpa's Barn. Come, visit with me and shop at the vendors' tables. Tons of fun for everyone!
UPDATE: Dr. Cochran's office called with the pathology report. All the cancer cells have been removed, and no more procedures are needed. Tomorrow, I go in to have my stitches removed.
It's World Alzheimer's Day! My PB, The Memory Jar, is about a grandmother with dementia. The story was inspired by my Aunt Luella who had #Alzheimer's Disease. If you want to start a conversation with a child about why a family member no longer remembers them, this book will help

If you've never seen a dermatologist, perhaps you should. My doctor did a biopsy in Aug. Turned out to be melanoma in situ. The surgeon removed the cancer cells yesterday. So lucky it was found early as it hadn't spread. I hope by sharing this, I help someone who may have this.
Here's where I'll be Sunday with my children's books, The Memory Jar, Cows Can't Be Clowns, and Grandpa's Barn.
Rochester, IL Library. Sept. is #Alzheimer's and Brain Awareness Month. The Memory Jar is about a grandmother with dementia and how her granddaughter connects with her.
