Save The Picture Book!

1. My picture book A Small Brown Dog with a Wet Pink Nose is one of the books featured this month. Fuse 8 even mentioned the site. Check it out and save the picture book.

2. The same book is a finalist for the Oregon Book Award. A good excuse to drive the 5 hours to Portland, which is where everyone thinks I live anyway...

3. The Compound was just named a finalist for the 2011-12 Nutmeg Award in Connecticut along with The Hunger Games, The Maze Runner, and some other amazing books. Pretty wild to see my book on there...

4. My Packers won the Super Bowl. ( In case you hadn't heard.)

5. I leave tomorrow for a school visit trip to Brazil. I learned enough Portugese to order coffee and beer. I think I will survive.
