Ghosts of Deadlines
Gaaaaaahhh....I know I've been a lousy blogger. But I'm haunted by those dreaded deadlines!! Please be patient. And yes, I know, I know, I've missed two Silly Poetry Fridays, too. Oy.
Will this make you feel any better? I found out that 13 Ghosts of Halloween was chosen as one of Resource Links' Best of the Year 2007 in the area of picture books (just scroll down until you find the author's name, 'Muller' on the list). "Resource Links is Canada's newest national journal devoted to the review and evaluation of Canadian resources for children and young adults."
I also found a great review of 13 Ghosts on this site, KidsWWwrite, an e-zine for young authors and readers. You know you're doing ok when a kid gives your book their stamp of approval!
Well, I know I feel better now. Ok, back to work.
It is such a fun and gorgeous book, and I certainly loved it. Congratulations!

Deadlines? And you led me to believe you've been napping...
Kudos as to the book being recognized as such a resource!

congrats on the recognition! that's wonderful. Deadlines? that's good, deadlines mean paid work doing what you love as opposed to many sad illustrators gracing the counters at Kinkos.

Thanks, Russ! That's really good to know. I just got my first royalty cheque from the book – it looks like sales are doing very well!
