Happy New Year, friends! Because most of us (okay, me...) aren't fully back to work yet, at least not mentally, this will just be a brief post on what you can expect this coming year in terms of blog content. I plan to share some background stories on each of my upcoming books this year--how they came about, the processes that went into them, and other anecdotes I might think of. As well, I'll talk a bit about writing processes in general...maybe some grammar pet peeves. Hah.
I also hope to share things about botany, particularly plants that I want to draw for a 2026 calendar. Because I intend to do more surface pattern design, you'll likely see. few posts about those, too.
And much as I dread this year (and the next few) politically, I will not talk about it on the blog. In case anyone wants to know, I share my despair on Bluesky. If there's anything else you'd like me to write about, just let me know in the comments!

As you know from the last 2 posts this month (here and here) I have a horde of haiku, enough for the rest of this month...and more. But I shall stop after next week unless the three readers (that many?!) of my blog beg me to continue. ;)
More next week, my friends!
As I mentioned in my previous blog post, I've been following the #HaikuSaturday challenge on Bluesky for a while, so I wanted to share some with you this month in hopes you'll join us there!
A few years back, poet Susan Andrews spearheaded a #HaikuSaturday challenge on what was then Twitter. Since then, it has been re-started by photographer/writer Beth Volkman over at Bluesky, which is where I've been joining in. I know it's not National Poetry Month, but I'm going to share some of my past haikus just for fun. I hope you'll find them amusing or insightful. :)
If you enjoyed these, there are more to come the next 3 Fridays. Also, come friend me on Bluesky and join in the #HaikuSaturday fun!
I've been busy trying to keep up with the #FunInSun2024 challenge this past week. Here are a couple of pieces I created for the first two prompts. They're in an illustrative style which is something I want to do for children's books. The paintings are done on 4"x4" wooden Art Boards that have holes in the back for easy hanging (or you can just stand them up like so). The one on the left is a Common Eastern Firefly while the one on the right is a Black Firefly. I think they would look great in a nature-loving kid's bedroom!  Each piece is $30 or you can get the pair for $50. Leave a comment or use the Contact Me form to let me know if you're interested in them!
