So I'm sneaking in here. If I were a dog, my tail would be between my legs, because I was supposed to post last week. But my fall has been full of things to keep me busy in reality, keeping me away from my cyber-duties. In adddition to attending football and volleyball games every week, I've taken on some mentoring, some teaching at Gotham, and next week, a school visit trip to Indiana. It's easy to forget what I'm doing. But then there's always something to remind me why I do this. Yesterday, it was a package at the post office, containing the first copy of my new picture book, ( complete with a red bow from my editor) which I first signed the contract for in 2005. Wow, what a wait. But it has been so worth it, because I love the book and I think readers will too. Here's hoping you have a red ribbon day.

YAY! It looks adorable! I'm going to watch for it in the stores.
Congratulations, Stephanie. That actually seems fairly speedy for a picture book. I had a friend who had her book appear ten years after she signed the contract.
Congratulations on your "red ribbon" celebration, Stephanie! Take time to enjoy it, among your many other responsibilities.
I think it comes out in January, but maybe they'll put it out earlier. All my other picture books took just about 2 years or less, that's why this one seems so long:)
Congratulations Stephanie. Can't wait to get it.
What a great looking little book with a red bow! Congratulations Stephanie!
