I don’t often do this (it pains me to have a 7-Imp post with no art), but I have a few, quick newsy-type notes. I’ll use my rock-and-roll hands, like I did in the most recent This, This, and the Other post<\/a><\/strong> back in November, just to keep things interesting:<\/p>\n

Today, I’m over at the blog of author-illustrator Brian Lies<\/a><\/strong>. It’s not often that I’m the interviewee<\/em>, but he asked if I wanted to participate in a blog series about favorite characters in children’s lit, and I was totally game. <\/p>\n

That link is here<\/a><\/strong>. <\/p>\n

p.s. We will not<\/em> discuss the fact that Brian recently visited a library in the county I live in, and I managed to miss it altogether<\/em>. Not I-knew-about-it-but-couldn’t-go, but I-managed-to-miss-the-announcement-that-he’d-even-be-here. Still kicking myself over that. <\/p>\n

I’m happy to have contributed to the Horn Book’s<\/a><\/strong><\/em> upcoming issue (March\/April) all about illustration. Needless to say, I’m eager to read the issue cover-to-cover. <\/p>\n

The piece about illustration that I wrote for them is also online now at their site<\/a><\/strong>. <\/p>\n

Finally, a note for local friends: I’ll be doing story time this Saturday at 10:30 a.m. at Parnassus Books<\/a><\/strong> in Nashville. We’ll be celebrating Read Across America Day<\/a><\/strong> with Dr. Seuss stories. I hear there will be cupcakes, and what a wonder are cupcakes. <\/p>\n

Until tomorrow (when I will have art!) … <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
