Blog postMaybe I could have handled the return of a sweater to Eastern Mountain Sports a little better yesterday. The following is an approximate recreation of the experience:
Me: I’d like to return this sweater I got for Christmas. It’s defective. See? (I show the clerk where it’s been pilling.)
Clerk: Do you have a receipt?
Me: No.
Clerk: Then you can’t return it.
Me: I have the credit card that was used to purchase it. Can’t you look it11 months ago Read more -

But when the weather forecast predicted temperatures in the 100's here in South Eastern PA, it became clear we needed to head north.
"How about Monhegan?" Krista suggested.

Blog postI first met P.J. (Pam) Lazos way back in the 20th century before the days of blogs and cell phones. She and my wife Krista (who wasn’t yet my wife) had just graduated from Temple Law School and decided to celebrate with a group adventure to Europe. As Krista now says, I tagged along like gum on their shoe.
These days P. J. Lazos is an environmental lawyer and the author of the eco thriller, "Oil and Water", about oil spills and green technology, and of a collection of nove2 years ago Read more -

Blog postI knew the SCBW&I (Society of Children’s Book Author’s and Illustrators) event was going to be a great way to celebrate the release of my new book Ready or Not, Woolbur Goes to School, but I was worried the advertising may have exaggerated the farmyness of my farm:

Turkey is off to school—or is he?—in this addition to the much-loved Turkey Trouble series.
School is starting soon and Turkey can’t wait. Each day, he and his barnyard friends practice their writing and math. But when the school bus rolls up, they are booted off. It turns out that animals aren’t allowed to attend school. Pig calls it “hogwash,” and Turkey agrees. All he has to do is find a way to show the students and the principal that turkeys—and their friends—do belong in school. With a gobble, gobble here; a gobble, gobble there; and a few clever costumes, he just might.
Woolbur is a free-spirited, fluffy, one-of-a-kind sheep! He knows the most important accessories are confidence and fearlessness.
Woolbur is not like other sheep. He hangs out with wild dogs and even dyes his wool blue.
"Don't worry!" says Grandpaa when Maa and Paa fret that Woolbur is different. But when they tell their son to follow the flock, the opposite happens—the flock follows him! Soon everyone is copying his wild hairstyles and taking turns on the spinning wheel. Leave it to Woolbur to find a new way to step ahead of the herd.
Spunky, funky, and refreshingly distinct, Woolbur will strike a chord with anyone who's ever felt different. And that's all of us!
