I loved the first book. I’ll have to check this one out!

It is! Easy learning curve, fun for a group, and moments of hilarity.

It’s nice to have options!

I love playing games with family. We tried a new-to-us card game yesterday (Cover Your Assets), and it was really fun.

Depends on the story. I would never write a novel in 2nd, but I’ve used it in picture books.

I had to get glasses when I was 8 and switched to contacts when I was 16. How about you?

I love hearing from readers!

This book was a really fun way to introduce my budding artist to different famous painters and their art styles.

Picasso, Dalí, O'Keefe, Van Gogh, Monet, Pollack, and more.

(and no, you don't see my chipped nail polish.)

Cover for IF PICASSO PAINTED A SNOWMAN by Amy & Greg Newbold. It features the happiest looking mouse with a navy and white striped shirt and a paintbrush in front of a snowman painted in the style of cubism. (The justaposition of the different boldly colored shapes that represent the snowman is quite jarring).

It’s here! A scandal. A wager. A masquerade ball. This Regency romance novella is inspired by Cinderella and is the last in the Grimm Regency Tale series. Read in Kindle Unlimited, as an ebook, or in paperback.

I hope your 5yo loves it!

Authors! It’s a chain of posts of your FIRST published book. “Quote post” the cover, a link, and three words about it.
Here is mine:

Aw, you are the best! How many ideas do you have right now?

Amy Newbold Books @amynewboldbooks.bsky.social · Nov 21

Too many! 3 picture books, 2 middle grade, 2 YA, and 2 adult. There may be others…

Amy Newbold Books @amynewboldbooks.bsky.social · Nov 19

Mixed bag for me! Right now it’s picture books, a middle grade, an adult book and a non-fiction.

Amy Newbold Books @amynewboldbooks.bsky.social · Nov 19

I hope you had a good laugh. It is a crazy business. And congrats on your recent release.

Writer friends! If you're having a tough time focusing on your novel right now, try doing some writing off-draft, in a separate document. Here are three Small Assignments you can try to keep working, even when it's hard to focus: 1/4

I love these tips, Kate! Thank you. I’ll be using these to get into my MG revision.

Write a poem.
Work with clay.
Draw or paint a day away.
Knit or dance.
Make a song.
Film a movie all night long.
Use your hands,
Brain and heart.
Live! Create!
Go make some art.

I feel the same. It’s an adjustment.

I would love to be included. I make #schoolvisits with illustrator Greg Newbold. We talk about creating books, creativity, and why the unique creative voices of students matter.
