    Hey, everyone, I know we're not supposed to use this forum for commerce, but hope I can just proudly share that my new children's book, Oscar & the Mooncats, is hitting the shelves!! After 35 revisions and a 2 year wait while the illustrator did her amazing magic, I'm doing the Snoopy happy dance!

    Impressive! I'll have to check with the Children's book cataloger to see if we've ordered a copy for the S collection.

    How very cool! Congrats on the release of your book!! I probably shouldn't (because I don't have kids), but I LOVE reading children's books. So imaginative- and yours seems like it would be a fun read.

    Congrats! You must be so excited to see your work in print and with illustrations. I like the cover, did she capture your vision? Is this your first book? I'll check it out next time I'm in a store.
