I'm so grateful to live in a world where dreams from 2008, years before I was published but desperately wanted to be, can lead to this. I'm forever thankful, #SCBWI friends! #MarilynBrigham #TwoLions #JoanneLewVriethoff #CrystalKite

GREAT NEWS!

My little buddy Porcupine got himself a preliminary nomination for Missouri's 2026-2027 Show Me Award! I, Jody, couldn't be happier!
