Time to reveal what I did this summer (besides navigate health issues). Today I received a proof copy of my Regency romance novella inspired by a Grimm fairy tale. Writing this was a detour from my usual kidlit writing, but it was a fun challenge!

Between a graduation, wedding, surgery, and chronic illness, I wrote A Lady Most Alluring: A Grimm Regency Tale. The 1st in this series released 9/3. My novella, a Cinderella retelling, releases 11/26. Check out this series! Now I’m going back to writing kidlit.

Just booked an event for Sept…2025. It will involve speaking at a conference to librarians & educators over 2 days. Best of all, it’s a paid event, travel costs are included, and I get to speak with my illustrator spouse. I’m looking forward to this one!

The Writing and Illustrating for Young Readers @wifyr conference in Utah is a great place to learn from industry professionals. I took a manuscript to a five-day picture book workshop that I later sold to a publisher. That book then became a three book deal. #WhyWIFYR

2nd graders @WilkersonElem designed snowmen after reading If Picasso Painted a Snowman then used those characters to create comic strips. They learned just how important setting and characters are to a story. #elainthelibrary #jcpslibraries #jcaslky @AmyNewboldBooks @Gregnewbold7

Do you wanna paint a snowman? Let's see what your snowman looks like! If you need some inspiration, see how classic painters like Claude Monet, Salvadore Dali, and more might have painted theirs in @AmyNewboldBooks' "If Picasso Painted a Snowman." ☃️ ow.ly/m05450QtLeh
