I don't know about where you are, but where I am right now, it's getting pretty toasty. So I thought it would be a good time to remind you about Donna Shepherd's book, OUCH! SUNBURN, illustrated by Kevin Scott Collier. Donna's enjoyable rhyming read instructs kids on the importance of skin care when going out into the sun. And Kevin's fun pictures help bring the message home.
And you'll also want to check on Kevin's new blog, Professor Horace's Cryptozoology Research Center. Professor Horace will be featured in Kevin's soon-to-be released picture book, PROFESSOR HORACE, CRYPTOZOOLOGIST, from Guardian Angel Publishing. Professor Horace is on the hunt for monsters--Big Foot, the Loch Ness Monster, and more.
Perhaps you would like to join the professor's hunt. Have you noticed any mysterious creatures lurking about lately? A long black tail slipping away into the bushes? A huge footprint along the pathway? Or a strangely-shaped head skimming the surface of the pond? Oooh, did you just hear that odd howl?
Sorry, I've got to go and notify the professor immediately...

A New York Observer profile of publicist-turned 29-year-old writer Sloane Crosley has been kicking up plenty of dust on the interwebs today.
Some people are jealous, some are dismissive, and others are in love--but they are all going to read her new book.
The adoring profile makes one point very well: Like it or not, writing careers depend on your friendships with other writers. You need support and mentorship to make it in this sea of fledgling writers.
While this talented writer put her book together, Crosley befriended published authors like Candace Bushnell and new media leaders Elizabeth Spiers.
If all that cheery essay stresses you out about your own career, maybe you should read this practical post, Beating Burnout Creatively. Thanks to Erika Dreifus for the much-needed advice...
Finally, I spend a lot of time talking about how videocameras and cameras can compliment your writing. Here's a website that will remind you about everything that is unphotographable. The gorgeous prose will remind you why you write. (Thanks, Bud Parr)
