It’s alive! It’s alive!
At long, long last the day is here. It’s time to celebrate and cheer.
(Sorry, I didn’t intentionally write rhyming couplets in iambic tetrameter. Happy accident. Occupational hazard.)
My debut picture book is “live.” This means that you can now get a copy of Huck, Chuck, & Bruce: At the Shore on Amazon. OR…you can wait and get a signed copy from me at an upcoming book launch or book signing.
On the back cover of the book, it says…
“What happens when two ducks and a goose decide to spend a day at the beach? Lots!
Huck, Chuck, & Bruce: At the Shore invites readers to race to the water’s edge and join a flock of feathered friends as they build sand forts, ride waves, and gobble ice cream. Yum!
Follow Huck, Chuck, and Bruce from sunrise to sunset on their lyrical adventure, and take time to cherish the charming paper collage illustrations and playful rhymes in this cozy bedtime story.”
Simple Beginnings
The creation of Huck, Chuck, & Bruce: At the Shore begins with a routine morning walk in Cape Charles, Va. In complete silence and with no discernable effort, two mallard ducks and one Canadian goose swim in a nearby pond. Absentmindedly, I say to my husband, “Look, John. Duck—Duck—Goose.”
We return to the beach cottage, and I gather the necessary supplies.
A pencil. A spiral-bound notebook. An Adirondack chair on the front porch. A bottle of water. That’s all I need.
In a matter of minutes, Huck, Chuck, and Bruce are hatched. And the dream of a picture book takes flight.
Duck. Duck. Goose.
Morning, Huck.
Morning, Chuck.
Morning, Bruce.
