Coming up: I've got a screening of Wicca Please, a reading of a new possible musical, and I'm performing for ALA! Wow. Life is good and busy. I had to back stove the new children's book til July. Just too much to focus on BUT I did finish the reformatting of the spoken story for print (which is harder than it sounds). OH AND Any Give Day book looks amazing! It'll be for sale soon. We might even doa fancy hard bound version. So yes me=busy like a bee. I'm even wearing yellow and black today so ha!...

I did it! As you can see to the right, you may now buy a million or so copies (or e-books via kindle or Amazon) of my awesome book: Mr Electrical Socket's best friend Fork...

So on top of my ridiculous current commitments I have 2 new plays stirring in my brain. I need to set them aside til I finish my immediate obligations. They're both dark and exciting.

Then I knew I had to hire an artist. Even a cheap artist is pricey so I was wondering how I could cut corners and then it came to me: remember when you were a kid and you cut shapes into potatoes and then dipped them into ink and made wood-block-like art? Well why not do that with carrots and...

Quick update from the front lines: Wicca Please is AWESOME (and I use the A word for reals) 2 quick scenes left to shoot and the music from Rebecca Norris is perfect. Hang on fans and friends almost there! Any Given Day is underway. 3 classes down with the kids from Echo Park and hopefully Rwanda writings will be emailed any day. Hurrah! Counting Book is 1/4 done. Inking time is hard to find. Good for 1 Fr is OUTLINED! I finally figured out the end. Stories to be Told is in 2 weeks. Everything else will be pushed ot the side so I can knock it out of the park! Or at least out of the basement I'll be...
