Hi Barbara
I use Paintbox simply because it doesn't take up space in a very crowded house (wall to wall people) and it is cost effective. I hope to have lessons at some stage.
Congrats on that big award too - even though a couple of years back those li'l things have ripples!

Hi Barbara Jean, Thanks for asking about the audio on my website. The website is www.jfitzgeraldmccurdy.com. Click on "my books" and then on either The Fire Demons or The Black Pyramid and you'll see an audio button on the right of the screen. That should do it. Thanks again. Joan

Barbara, this a very-very late reply. I am still dealing with some confusion in my inbox. But I am sure I am not too late to say that I love your work. Jitterbug Jam and the Secret Life of Walter Kitten are among my favorites!
Thank you so much for your congratulations.

Barbara, I just thought you'd like to know that "The Secret Life of Walter Kitty" was accepted into the Original Art Show by the Society of Illustrators in New York. Yay Walter! Hope all is well.

Hi Barbara Jean,
Thanks for reciprocating by joining as "my friend" on my page. I realize though, I gotta get more friends! Not for lack of them, just my lack of follow-up to invite them. Keep up the nice work!
