Ringing In A New Year

While I thought this year was an exciting one for me, January will roar in like a Lion with the official release of my debut picture book, THE STORY CATCHER on the 20th. In celebration of this exciting milestone in my writing career, I have planned an entire month of special writer's posts, along with the usual BOOK NOOK REVIEWS, and my new feature PICTURE PROMPTS where I will either shine the spotlight on an illustrator or provide a short Flash Fiction piece based on a random picture prompt.
