A Long Visit

Come on over to James Preller’s blog for a long chat about George and Martha, publishing insecurities, classy dorm posters, the picture book title that nearly killed me with envy, the novel-editing event that caused one of us to weep, why we’re both crazy about Matthew Cordell. And about 54,313 other things.

Audrey liked Tina Hoggatt's review of The Family Tree: "Not the family tree I expected, but surely the family tree we all need. A remarkable tree in unusual ground, a nurturing child, and a most excellent dog bring this story home. Lovely illustrations by Fiona Lee."
