No Storytime Live this week – sorry!!
I’m sorry me lovelies, but I’m in Ohio and am doing an event tonight at Miamisburg Middle School at 6:30pm, so I won’t be able to do Storytime.
Please tune in next week to see and chat with me! In the meantime, enjoy some awesome pictures from my school visits I’ve had this week so far!!

Storytime Live, April 22, 2015 at 7:30pm! (eastern standard timezone)
Tonight’s Storytime will be answer the most popular question I get, “How do you come up with your book ideas?”
I will tell you secrets painted into all of my books, stories that no one knows if you haven’t heard them from me. For instance, why is there a donkey on the cover of Bob is a Unicorn, but no donkey in the book? I will also tell you that I was never, EVER supposed to do this for a living and how I ended up doing EXACTLY what I was meant to be doing by making a whole bunch of mistakes!
Featuring a reading of Bob is a Unicorn and ending with his song.

April 15, 2015 Storytime Live at 7:30pm (eastern standard time)
Yesterday, because of a joke I was making with a friend about a simple kitchen butter knife I ended up creating an illustration – simply because it made me chuckle. I put it up online and people really responded to my little butter knife with a heart for others.
I decided to challenge myself and write the story down about the little butter knife who just wanted to spread love. In one day. To be read at Storytime Live tonight. (I have not, as of this moment in time, written one word or even thought through the story at all.)
I have no idea if I will be able to do it, if I will hit a wall and will fall short and have nothing to read live tonight, or maybe, perhaps, the little knife wants to tell me the rest of his story in a miraculous timing of events. (My characters don’t always cooperate with telling me their stories right when I want them to. So we shall see.)
