Duck Soup!

We're fixing some Duck Soup!

What does it mean?

Where does it come from?

Duck Soup is a new writing group for children's books in the Pittsburgh area.

I like to think of "Duck Soup" as a fun mantra meaning "We can do it!" Writing great books is going to be our Duck Soup.

Besides, it's just fun running around saying "Duck Soup"!

Words of Encouragement

Please join me in congratulating my friend Laurie Peters for sending her very first picture book out into the world! Good luck with your submission!

Last day of Angeline Jellybean blog tour :-(

Today I would like to say thank you to all my friends and colleagues who took time out of their busy lives to host the blog tour for my book Angeline Jellybean! From favorite jellybean flavors to how the book got written, we sure covered a lot of material this week! I’ve received a lot of great reviews and feedback on my book. I’ve even met a few new authors. Can you believe that I actually came in contact with a children’s writer from my hometown of Altoona?

One of the things I love so much about blogging is that I get to interact with other writers all over the world. I network without boundaries, and I make some good friends in the process. To me, being an author isn’t about solitary confinement; it’s about having the entire world at your fingertips.

I’ve learned so much from all of you, and I hope you’ve learned from me as well. I look forward to continuing relationships with my fellow writers.
