Double Winner Announcements 10/10/24

Before I announce the winners, I’m sending hugs and strength to friends and family in Florida who are waking up to the aftermath of Milton. I know climate science has become a divisive issue like everything else, but science is based on facts and it shouldn’t take disasters like Helene and Milton or the fires we’ve been experiencing in the western portion of North America, the 2020 bushfires in New South Wales, Australia that inspired my book, AN ACCIDENTAL HERO: A MOSTLY TRUE WOMBAT STORY to get us to pay attention to what we can do about it.

For those of you who are in Florida, North Carolina, and other areas dealing with the aftermath of hurricane damage, let me say this is a marathon, not a sprint and give yourself grace. Self care is a luxury you shouldn’t forgo.

Congratulations to Jilanne Hoffman, you are the winner of a double giveaway from author Tina Shepardson, a copy of her new book THE SORRY SEEDS, illustrated by Bong Hyun Shin and also a classroom zoom visit! Thank you Tina for this generous giveaway! Jilanne, please email me your mailing address.
