Blog postThis is another installment of how I independently published The Legend of Lop-eared Larry. The book will be released January 2, but in the meantime, enjoy my process.
Freedom to choose
Self-publishing this story meant I could exercise more creative freedom in all aspects of the book. One piece is the author. I had already self-published two other children’s books. At the time, I was hoping my name and reputation in the children’s book field would help sales. Well, it did -
Blog postWith Thanksgiving coming up, I've been thinking a lot about food. Pies in particular. Apple pie. Pecan pie. Pumpkin pie. So it got me thinking about books that have talking food as characters. I put together this list of favorite talking food books. Feel free to suggest others.

Blog postThis is another installment of the development of The Legend of Lop-eared Larry. I thought it would be fun to see the progression and decision making that went into an illustration via exerpts from emails between illustrator Brittany and me.
March 9, 2021
Brittany: Here is the first pdf mockup of Lop Eared Larry. I used Helvetica neue for the body text and an adobe font called Active for all the headings/our names/etc. The Headings are 18pt and the body text is 12pt -

Blog postI am so honored that these three people endorsed my book, The Story of Eliza Hamilton. You might recognize a few of their names.

Here's what Beth said:
“Eliza Hamilton, a Founding Mother, is a great addition to the Biographies for New Readers. Wi -

Blog postWelcome to another installment of how the illustrator and I developed The Legend of Lop-eared Larry.
The most fun part of designing the book was choosing the color palette. Brittany David used Pinterest to find images for inspiration and to find a "model" for the main character, Larry. Then she put together 3 color palettes for me to choose from. It was such a delight to open her email and see the lovely colors!

Now I've written a bunny book called The Legend of Lop-eared Larry. To celebrate, I'm meeting with the illustrator today to sign books.

Blog postArtist Caroline Karp interviewed me for her podcast Behind the Art Inspiration. I was her first children's book author!
We met during a breakout session during one of Christine Kane's Uplevel Café sessions and instantly liked each other. Check out her artwork, too. She paints sailboats, sunflowers, and does this cool custom art using an inspiration word.

Blog postIn January 2020, I launched a self-published joke book called Saltwater Sillies. I funded it via Kickstarter, and had it illustrated by a Colorado creative, Stan Yan. Writing the jokes, raising the funds, overseeing the design of the book, and releasing the book within months of reaching the funding goal was exhilarating! I was excited to share my humor with kids and give dads a fresh supply of jokes. Then the pandemic hit.
Most everyone now knows, Covid was no laughing matter. All my -
Blog postOh, my. It’s back-to-school time. Time to watch your “little baby” become a big kid and head off to school, and your teenagers head off to college. These are hard times to let go, but necessary times for growth and independence.
Three of my school-themed Night Before books are about letting go and may help you and your child deal with being separated.
In The Night Before Preschool, a boy has the jitters and realizes that he forgot his teddy bear at home. When napti -
