Two-book deal for witchy picture book!
« on: August 16, 2012, 10:16 AM »
I wanted to post sooner, but in an ironic twist, I had to spend yesterday and today cleaning my apartment for showings!

Thanks to my wonderful agent Brianne Johnson, I have a two-book deal with Katherine Tegen Books/HarperCollins, for my rhyming picture book, GRIMELDA, THE VERY MESSY WITCH, plus an untitled GRIMELDA sequel!

Yaaaaay!!!!  :broccoli :pickle :broccoli :pickle
