BUGS ON THE JOB will be available in January and at that time, I’ll have a book signing at the Read Spotted Newt Bookstore in Hazard. The book signing date will be announced soon. If you are local and can’t attend the book signing, contact Mandi at readspottednewt@gmail.com and she will reserve a book for you.
Those who are not local can preorder on the
website www.thelittlefig.com
on this page https://thelittlefig.com/.../bugs-on-the-job-coming-soon
The book will be available beginning January 1st at www.thelittlefig.com and will be available through the distributor APG Sales and Distribution in Nashville beginning February 1st.
Holding a new book is the ultimate thrill for writers. We’ve poured our hearts, along with smidgens of sweat, and trickles of tears, into the work for months and years. From the time a picture book is accepted for publication, a two-year stint is in order to revise, tweak, and wait, and wait, and wait. The effort is worth it.
Sweat and tears morph into chills and thrills as writers meet fans of their literary “babies.” The publication date is approaching quickly, and I’m ready.
Writing tips:
If you’re writing a picture book or a short story, keep
the number of characters small. BUG ON THE JOB has two characters per page, and
occasionally a third character, a flower, pops up.
Dialog breathes life into the characters. Allow your
words to show a character's personality.
Add humor. Every reader loves it.
Add conflict. The flower gives power to conflict in
this book.
