How’s a #writer supposed to get anything done with the first TICKS of the season making their debut? 😟
T-minus one day to launch!! 🚀 (St. Paul, MN) #writingcommunity #scbwi #kidlit
That moment you realize your outfit makes you look like a certain #celebrity…

Another first! Representing the Red Balloon Bookshop at the Grand Old Days parade in St. Paul. So fun! 📕 💜 🎈 #KidLit #writingcommunity #SCBWI #AstraBooks
