Mermaids in Michigan, Mushrooms in Indiana

I am looking forward to participating in the Harbor Springs Festival of the Book this September 27th-29th, in Harbor Springs Michigan. Covid prevented me from being there in person to talk about Wild Honey from the Moon, so I am delighted I get to return, this time with Mermaid Lullaby. Northern Michigan in late September, sounds perfect!

I'll be speaking at schools, leading a workshop on detail and texture in illustration, and one or two other things as well (I'll amend this post when the details are finalized).

I was so proud to be claimed by my home state when This is a Book of Shapes appeared on the shortlist of the biennial Indiana Authors Awards and I feel the same way to see Mushroom Lullaby on it this time around. Indiana is the place that shaped me so it is gratifying to know that they still consider me a Hoosier.
