Social Butterflies
My very favorite part about what I do is meeting incredibly talented people and giving them a place to shine. Sometimes, I get to connect them with another incredibly talented person, and then the magic doubles.
Welcome to Social Butterflies
This is my place to share information with you about authors, illustrators, editors, and graphic designers. Also, all of them will have an opportunity to tell you a little about themselves and their craft. Sometimes, the authors might even give you a special look inside the lives of the characters in their books!
If you are interested, sign up for updates from any one (or more) of these talented people by clicking on the SUBSCRIBE button below any of their posts.
