Next week I have author Katey Howes stopping by to talk about her book A POEM GROWS INSIDE YOU, illustrated by my friend and local illustrator Heather Brockman Lee. She’s offering a giveaway and she’ll share some other fun information about her most recent book as well.
Then coming up before the end of June, my interview with Pamela Morgan, author of SIMPLY SKYE which is illustrated by my friend Heather Bell. It’s the perfect book as we end PRIDE MONTH. 🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️ If you haven’t been following me on Twitter, @ljrwritenow I’ve been sharing 30 books in 30 days to celebrate PRIDE MONTH. It’s not too late to check it out.
