THIS is why I write for kids.
For those times when I receive a message and a photo of a child reading my book, enjoying my book, wanting to know when Book 2 in The Sketcher Series will be out. (Next year, I promise!)
Kids are THE BEST.

Dayton was at the heart of aviation history during WWII. It is where Orville Wright lived until his death, where top-secret warplanes were being developed at Wright Field, and where Jamie and Ken’s story unfolds.

Today, I woke up. I wrote some more of a middle grade manuscript. I wrote some #poetry. I confirmed meetings. I printed some tax/prep forms. 📋 All before 11AM! 🕚 But I did forget to eat, 🚽, etc. Why? #adhd 🙂↕️
