In case you already know me personally, don't check it out.  You already know more about me than is advisable. 

Last Saturday, Lisa Wheeler gave an all day intensive picture book workshop for WI SCBWI writers, and it was fantastic!  So much information,  well arranged, and delivered with Lisa's bright warmth and humor.  It was a giant learning step in the process of writing a successful picture book story.  If your SCBWI region is looking for an excellent and inspirational workshop, you must consider this one!

Here are some photos!  Just click on a photo if you'd like to see it enlarged.

Baby's Song will be out next month and it's bee-ooo-ti-ful!  I just got my copies and am happy to see this baby delivered!

Germantown, Wisconsin is the largest village in the state, and is located just outside of Milwaukee.


                                                                           Old Downtown Germantown

It continues to maintain a rural flavor while offering all the conveniences of a thriving city.  The 'old downtown' is located (where else?) on Main Street, and it's nothing more than a collection of quaint houses, a restaurant, a pub, and a year-round Christmas shop.  For any serious shopping you need go only a few blocks away.

That's a peach tree in the upper left corner.  The last two weeks in August I'll be busy with canning, baking, and freezing peaches!

Last summer we added a covered extension to our back deck.  I really do need to find a comfortable writing chair to put out there!
