Winner Announcement 11/18/22

Congratulations to Jenna Johnson, winner of the giveaway from Susanna Leonard Hill which includes a signed copy of ALPHABEDTIME, illustrated by Betsy Snyder and a 20 minute Ask-Me-Anything Zoom Call! Thank you, Susanna for such a fabulous prize package. Jenna, please email me at Ljrwritenow at gmail dot com so that I can connect you with you with Susanna for your prize.

Next week is my last interview of the year. I’ll be welcoming Susan Wroble, who is one of the regional advisors for my local SCBWI (Society of Children’s Book Writers and Illustrators) chapter and will share her expertise on writing nonfiction and work for hire writing.

There might be a surprise giveaway in December, and there’s always some photography to keep you checkin in. Come back in 2023 for some wonderful authors who are already lined up for January – April! It’s exciting to see some amazing books I’ll be sharing from Young Adult – picture books and I’ll have some news of my own to share soon.

I'm a reading specialist and award winning educator from Chicago. While living in the Rocky Mountains of Colorado for nine years, I spent time hiking on the trails with my Goldendoodle Charlie and friends, writing, working in a literacy program at the Boulder Public Library, and mentoring writers and teachers. I love visiting schools. My books combine STEM and Kindness. "Aliana Reaches for the Moon" a picture book that draws inspiration from the moon and the curiosity of children, inviting children to be creative, explore, and experiment. "An Accidental Hero: A Mostly True Wombat Story" a picture book told in the form of a newscast which skillfully balances the serious subject of forest fires with compassion and humor to help children navigate this important topic through the real events of 2020. I moved to Northern New Jersey in 2025 and am working on new projects.
