Simon, Alina, and I are looking forward to getting our hands (and paws) on a copy of your book, Jessie!

A hunk for a skunk, a pound for a hound...

Dawn Simon @dawnsimon.bsky.social · 14d

😂😂😂 Understandable. We were, after all, talking cheese.

Ooh, snippets for whippets! Maybe that can be book two, Jessie! Simon would be happy to model. For cheese, of course.

So you're saying OODLES OF NOODLES is for oodles of poodles?😁

Because the nights are drawing in…an old illustration of mine.

A Cat & A Crow.

Good evening.

A black and white illustration in crosshatched pen and printing ink on a white paper of a room with a cosy fireplace, a Cat strolls over a rug in front of the fire, a Crow sits on the arm of a wingback chair. Christmas decorations above the fire. Atmospheric, festive and a bit spooky.

I am so excited for this adorable book! All babies need a proper culinary introduction, and OODLES OF NOODLES will teach 'em about animals and numbers at the same time.

Happy long weekend! Take 10 minutes and read for joy. It can be addictive and infectious. Good.

Meet my critique group, the Troika! Margaret Nevinski & Elsa Watson are brilliant writers. I'm the luckiest, having their eyes on my work.

We were able to see each other in person on Monday, & it was such a treat! I love these ladies.

Honestly, even if you merely like (or generously tolerate!) an author, this is a lovely thing to do for books and bookstores and bookfriends and bookculture. ♥️ Requesting that your local library order it goes a long way too (especially with lesser-known authors most library don't have on auto-buy).

If you love an author, preorder their next book as soon as you hear about it. They’ll love you forever, and when you get your copy the very day of publication, you’ll forget you ever paid for it and it’ll feel like you got it free.
