Thanks to the folks at Boys Town Press for taking the time to talk with me about the release of my first illustrated children’s book Joy! You Find What You Look For

Here’s the whole interview!

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.

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.

So if you’ve written a review and said nice things — THANK YOU!!!!

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.
