What a Wonderful Year!

Hello, faithful readers and friends! Let’s jump right into all my exciting updates!

If you’ve been following my social media, you know I am working on a new kid’s book not related to Albert. Hank the Hamster is coming along in illustration now. Thank you to all of you who submitted ideas for adventures for Hank to go on! Maybe one of your ideas made it into the final version! I’m so excited to share Hank with you all and hope you love him as much as you love Albert the Donkey! I haven’t decided yet if this will be a series or not. It all depends on the reception and how kids like it.

My First event of 2025 will be the 4th Annual Guernsey County Family Reading Festival, taking place on Saturday, February 1, 2025, at the Pritchard Laughlin Civic Center in Cambridge, OH.

2024 was an amazing year.  I have loved getting to meet all of the fans of Albert the Donkey and reading to all of the children. I have received amazing feedback and support from readers. Seeing the kids enjoy Albert’s adventures has been wonderful. I am truly blessed to be able to share Albert and my stories with the world. Having the first book win an award in a national contest was truly the highlight and really solidified that Albert is a wonderful character and that I really am a writer now. I appreciate everyone who has been with me on this journey and encouraged me. This process is hard and sometimes I get down and have doubts about my skill. But thanks to all you wonderful readers and fans, I will keep my head up and forge ahead.

Thank you and bless you.
