Sometimes when you search for my books using the name I use on my picture books, Stephanie Stuve-Bodeen, this book comes up.
I have no idea why, but in the description under authors, my name is there. Once I went to a school and a teacher handed me a stack of books to sign. This book was in the stack. For the life of me, I could not convince her I had nothing to do with it. "Amazon listed it under your books." I managed to sneak it under the stack so I didn't have to sign it.
I get why she would think that. But I didn't help write it. Honestly. I would claim ownership if I had, believe me. I just feel a little bad for Mary Reed and Eric Mayer, the real authors, who probably wonder who the interloper is that always gets listed as the third author. They probably have voodoo dolls with my name on them. I know I would if someone else got credit for writing one of my books...
