Contract Signing

Signing the contract for my next book, ANIMALS WELCOME: A LIFE OF READING, WRITING AND RESCUE.
2 Stags

Winter visitors. The deer try to eat the sunflower seeds out of my bird feeder.
Snicker

This is the real Snickers, who became a character in Runaway Twin when his person was the high bidder at an auction to benefit Pasado’s Safe Haven. I had donated the opportunity for someone to have their pet be included in a future book. As soon as I saw this photo, I fell in love with Snickers and enjoyed writing about him.
Award Wall

Here are some of the awards I've received. The door leads to my office. My book covers hang on the wall around the corner.

Here's my favorite photo!
Marilyn Kamcheff

I give the first copy of each book to the person to whom I've dedicated the book. Here I'm presenting the first copy of TELL IT LIKE IT IS to my friend, Marilyn Kamcheff. I met Marilyn many years ago when she took a writing class from me.
I went to Washington D.C. to see the polio exhibit at the Smithsonian's Museum of American History. Six quotes from Small Steps were on display. Here I am at the Smithsonian. The exhibit is now on permanent display at the Warm Springs Foundation in Georgia.
I'm with my daughter, Anne, in Central Park. We were in New York City for the Mystery Writers of America awards banquet because my book, Abduction!, was a nominee for the Edgar Allen Poe Award for Best Juvenile Novel.  I'm wearing the award necklace that my husband, Carl, had made for me. Each charm is a state where I've won the children's book award.
Dog

This is me with Lucy, next to my front door. Lucy had been mistreated; we got her from a rescue group.  She has a bed in my office where she snoozes while I write. She jumps up, all excited, when she hears the computer go off because she knows I’ll take her for a walk on our nature trail.

Here I am playing my player piano.  When I pump the foot pedals, the paper roll turns which makes the keys play. My favorite song is, “What a Wonderful World.” As you can see, I like old Raggedy dolls.
