These goats are brought to you by the numbers 3 and 4. I finally have a good grasp on goat anatomy and decided to have some fun with these two.

Today was the day my first official blog post for the middle-grade group blog went live. I haven’t had a chance to go over and check the comments yet, but I did get an email from one of the author/artists whose book I mentioned. If you are interested in how graphic novels are being used to promote literacy in the classroom, head on over to From the Mixed-Up Files of Middle-Grade Authors. I am at the end of the rotation, so there are a few dozen other articles there as well. I am truly honored to be among the people of this group and I hope I can live up to the very high standards they are setting.

In other news, my brother-in-law is in town for a few days.

Smoky and the Feast of Mabon officially releases in 17 days. I attempted to find a cool count down widget but the search kept being put on hold when more pressing projects came up. Any who, the book is available now from the publisher and on amazon. Please help support me and my fellow creator, author of the book, Catherynne M. Valente. If you already have a copy, THANK YOU. Really, I mean it. If you don’t have kids or can’t buy the book for whatever reason, please ask your local librarians to purchase it for their collection.
