I think I need to go on vacation more often. Why? Because good things seem to happen when I'm away from my desk. What's new, you might ask? Well...
Upon returning from the annual Erin Murphy Literary Agency Retreat in June, I received a contract from Tilbury House for my picture book manuscript, MOTHER EARTH'S LULLABY. Woohoo! This story was part of my creative thesis at VCFA and is close to my heart so I'm thrilled that I'll see it in print (and more importantly, that young children will get to see it in book form). I've loved working with Tilbury House on my other picture book, MY BUSY GREEN GARDEN (illustrated by the amazing Carol Schwartz, Spring 2017) so I can't wait to roll up my sleeves and start on this project.
The other terrific thing that happened two days ago is that my upcoming board book, MAMA LOVES YOU SO, was listed in Publisher's Weekly "Spring 2017 Sneak Previews." I'm so excited to have this story published by Little Simon and illustrated by the fabulous Simone Shin. As soon as I receive permission to share the cover, I will! (it's gorgeous so you won't want to miss it). Though I wrote this story as a picture book (and my agent pitched it as a picture book), Little Simon wanted to produce it as a board book to include in their new line, Stories to Start (books for parents to share with their babies).
There you have it! With great news like this, I'm not sure I should ever go back to my office! But when I do, I'll probably be moving like this...

Horatio Humble Beats the Big "D"
Horatio couldn't read. Words just jumbled together on the
page. His friends would laugh at him if he went to Special
Classes. But GO he did: and the results amazed him!<><><><><><><><>

GREAT NEWS!Guardian Angel Publishing and Kevin Scott Collier are going from strength-to-strength.
CEO, Lynda S. Burch, is publishing books that are getting all
the right attention in all the right places. How do I know this? Because I am lucky enough to be one of their authors
- "Rattlesnake Jam" is my 7th children's book.
Lynda encourages her authors and illustrators to get together and
brainstorm promotional ideas for their books, and help each other find
success. She is also pretty good at thinking up new and out-of-the-box
ideas for us herself!!
When a group of writers and illustrators who are passionate about
children's books, join together with a publisher who is equally
dedicated, wonderful books, for kids of all ages, are written and
published. G.A.P is definitely a publisher parents can trust.

Kevin recently won awards for his quirky and delightful illustrations.
Now he tops that, by being invited to star in a new children's television
program to be produced by KICKS Club TV Org.
This will debut on major Christian broadcast networks in early 2009.
ABC Family also has the option to pick it up. It will be syndicated in
Europe, Africa, and Australia. Tentatively titled "Drawing for Kicks."
it will be an instructional program for kids in illustration, and will
feature my books and art. Shooting begins at Studio 85 in Sunbury,
Ohio, this fall.
I am thrilled to share these
Blessings, Thanks and Great News items
with all of you.

Hi Margot, Zebee here. Thanks for the mention. I'm blushing as much as a zebra can blush. My boss Joy is away from the computer at the moment, but I know she thanks you too.
Bye for now.

Keep 'em coming, Mate!
