Thanks to Simsbury Public Library for having me back for my 3rd Book Signing!

I love any excuse for a tea party with arts and crafts. I had a great time at the American Girl Tea Party and Book signing at the Lyman Allyn Art Museum.

I had a fantastic time signing books and supporting the Bushnell’s American Girl Fashion Show in Hartford, CT!

The St. Mary's Book Fair is in full swing! I'll be there tonight from 5:30 - 7:30 tonight signing copies of my new book, The Sparkle Box.

Available today! My new illustrated picture book, The Sparkle Box, is a heartfelt Christmas story that celebrates the beauty and excitement of the Christmas season, while gently bringing the true meaning of Christmas into focus through a story that features a powerful Christmas tradition.

After weeks of work, detailed instructions from the shop guys, and many trips to home depot, I finally finished making over my flat files I got from Craigslist! I've got to do more of these home diy projects.

Last month I was interviewed by my alma mater, The University of Hartford to be featured in their winter issue of their magazine The Observer. The Observer is published three times per year and is circulated to nearly 75,000 alumni, parents, and friends of the University.  The article talks about my journey after I graduated and my experiences illustrating for American Girl. Thanks to everyone at the Observer for making such a lovely piece!

Check out my first easy reader book I illustrated for Pearson Education.  

I may not remember this library, but my parents sure do. My latest book signing at the Otis Library in Norwich, CT is not only the town of my birthplace, but Its the town where both my parents were born and raised. I can even trace back my family tree to my Great-Great Grandparents emmigrating to Norwich from Ireland in the 1850s. Needless to say, I was so happy to be truely "home" again. And boy do these guys throw a great tea party!
