Two Down, lots more to go
I'm working on a book right now with a crazy deadline. I just finished the first two illustrations and I'm pleased with the result. This is going to be a little girl's dream book...princesses all the way.
Storytime and Book Launch at Borders Books- Success!
I was worried that no one would show up for story time and my book launch for "Tickle, Tickle! Itch, Twitch!" but it all turned out great. Some good friends and family showed up for support and a lot of unfamiliar faces as well. There were slow times during the signing, but overall it was great. I had fun reading the book to the kids with my daughter's over-enthusiastic help and appreciated the friendliness of the Borders staff and customers. So for being an "unknown" like myself, I feel that selling 40+ books at a signing is awesome! (Thanks, Mom for buying 10...that really skewed the numbers) Watch a small portion of the reading here.
Book Launch for my first book as an AUTHOR!
Come to an awesome storytime and book launch party at Border's Books (4801 N. University Ave., Suite 910, Provo, UT (801) 224-2720) in Provo Utah tomorrow for my new book, "Tickle, Tickle! Itch, Twitch!" authored AND illustrated by me. I'll be making a total goof of myself using puppets and encouraging crowd participation as we read the story aloud. Then I'll read one or two other books and stay for a signing until 2pm. See a preview of the book here...
Book Pick
One of the books I illustrated, "Chihuahua Chase", was on a local TV morning show on December 3, 2010 as a book pick (at the 2 minute mark).

UPDATE 1/10/2011
I'm in good company here. My book is sitting next to the 2011 Caldecott Winner "A Sick Day for Amos McGee" by Philip Stead illustrated by Erin Stead, a young husband and wife team...both authors, both illustrators. Check their blogs out and check out the TV spot at the 1 minute mark on the video

Holiday Book Party
Come on by "The King's English Bookshop" tonight, December 2nd, in Salt Lake City, for their annual holiday book party. I'll be signing books there with a bunch of other authors. What a great place to get your Christmas shopping done!
