Welcome to my new blog, which now includes content from many of the blogs I’ve created over the years. You can now also access content via category from this one page instead of having to search for my individual blogs, which were scattered over various platforms and websites.
I rarely post about books on the craft of writing because I was being inundated by requests from publicists and authors to review their books for Inkygirl readers. To reiterate: I lack the time or inclination to be an official book reviewer, so please do NOT put me back on . . .
Don’t you love the gorgeous cover of The Yin-Yang Sisters and the Dragon Frightful?

Over the years, I’ve been accumulating all the “How <title> Was Created” guides for young writers and illustrators, advice from children’s book creators I’ve interviewwed, plus a few tips for not-so-young book creators. Feel free to browse all this info as well as my free picture book thumbnail templates at . . .
