My Latest Picture Book Accepted for Publication!
Pauline Books and Media has just bought my latest picture book manuscript. It's titled "Bridget and the Butter: A Tale of Saint Bridget of Ireland." In it, I retell a legend about Bridget, an Irish saint who knew Saint Patrick. (He also appears in the book.) The story takes place when she was a girl, and its theme is the importance of generosity. I may change the spelling of the main character's name to Brigid. If so, that will take place in the upcoming editing process.
I wrote the book in July, 2014. I have written for Pauline Books and Media previously, for their children's magazine, My Friend, and in an anthology of children's stories called Family Matters. I wanted to work with them again, and they told me about their line of legends about saints, including Saint Nicholas and Saint Valentine.
So I did some research, and found a number of stories about how Saint Bridget gave butter to a hungry woman, and a miraculous event that followed.
I look forward to the editing process. When I have a specific publishing date, I will post it.
