Publication Day Approaches!

Nora comes to life on Monday!

Bright and early on the morning of April 1st, preorders of No, No, Nora! will be shipped to eager little (and big) hands. To celebrate Nora’s introduction to the reading aloud (and reading silently to self) public, I’ve opened a store on Zazzle where you can load up on Nora merch.

Nora is a sweet little cat, and she looks too cute on t-shirts, buttons, and even a diaper bag. If you’re a fan of her nemesis Gustave, don’t fret. He’ll be there too.

And Inventor fans, I’ve got you covered too. Buttons and stickers and keychains, oh my!

Hammock Days

We in the Pacific Northwest have been enjoying an early summer. It’s late May, and children are wearing shorts, pools are being uncovered, and June blooms are erupting in gardens. My nose tells me that mine is not the only husband who has begun grilling dinner nightly. This is fairly noteworthy because in the Seattle area it is understood that you cannot count on sunshine and warmth until Independence Day at the earliest. But the sun is out, the temperature is pleasant, so why wait to hang the hammock?

See the boy in the hammock?

See the book the boy is reading?

Oh, did I forget to mention that Cyborgia was published today?

That’s right: The third book in the Inventor-in-Training series is now available for your reading and lounging pleasure in paperback format. So stoke that barbecue, dip your toes in the pool, hang out in the hammock, and find out what Angus and Ivy have gotten up to lately.

That’s what I intend to do, as soon as that boy gets out of my seat.
