Marie said, "I'd love to be added to the "Golden Tokens from Other Authors & Illustrators" page. But, I do not see the "Meet the Authors" page. I'm really not very good at how this whole site works- no time to really check it out properly. Add me if you can and let"

Glad to see you joined, I think this is a really cool site since it niches children's writer's and illustrator's. Usually, we get lumped in with all other writer's.
