Thanks For Saying Nice Things!
Writing a book is great fun!
Watching the illustrations come to life is also great fun!
Putting the book “out there” for other people to read is great fun!
Waiting to see what the reviews are for the book…
AAAAAGH! — Utterly terrifying!
Which is why I’m so utterly and profoundly grateful for all the people who have read Joy! You Find What You Look For AND said nice things about it in reviews. Bless Your Cotton Socks!!
I love a good children’s book that adults can relate to as well.

This book was so cute. As a therapist I loved the message.
~Kelsey A
Incredibly sweet children’s book with gorgeous illustrations that really captures a young child’s determination that the world is against them when they are grumpy. I am sure many adults can also relate. The power of gratitude is often lauded in adult psychology, but it’s wonderful to see it being mentioned in children’s books. I especially appreciated the tips at the end that help inform adults and children alike on finding the joy.
~Cara M
So if you’ve written a review and said nice things — THANK YOU!!!!
Happy Book Birthday!
It’s FINALLY here! My book’s official birthday — August 1st, 2023!
I am so very happy with the way the book turned out, and I can’t say enough wonderful things about my illustrator! Kyle Merriman has done such a fabulous job bringing Holly to life!
This first book in the series — yes, friends, you heard it here first! Holly has a series (Holly’s Choice with Boys Town Press)!! — is everything I’d hoped it would be and so much more.
Please go out and order a copy today!
Joy! You Find What You Look For — Available August 1st
I admit it!
I’ve been skulking around the living room, looking out the windows, hoping the UPS truck would show up in our driveway bringing a box of author-copies of my new kid’s book!
I’ve seen the proofs of the drawing as a PDF, but dang!!! I’ve never before published an illustrated children’s book and I couldn’t wait to see it IN PRINT for the first time.
Here’s the unboxing! Now get ready to pick up your own copies when it goes on sale August 1st!
