Why I did this

I'm not really planning to blog -- with just one week behind me since I got laid off, I should spend any free time I have looking for a new job. So why start this? Because a lot of people have been wonderful and generous since Maggie's Monkeys came out in April, and I don't have an easy way to be in touch with some of them.

So I'm going to do a little catch-up over the next few days. I'll post some links and other information about the book and the fun I've had with kids (and their parents and grandparents and friends) since then. And we'll see what happens.

To start off, here's a photo from one of my first signings. This was at the Blue Manatee bookstore near my home in Cincinnati. It was so much fun!
