On Wednesday, August 23, 2006, children gathered for a storytime at the West Roxbury Branch of the Boston Public Library. The above photo shows Angela Menino, the wife of Boston's Mayor Tom Menino, reading my book, The Strange Egg!
Caught on tape!
My neighbor Glenn Williams is a musician, songwriter, DJ, community arts activist AND the host of It's All About Arts on BNN-TV here in Boston. We had a fun conversation when I appeared on the show January 23.
Glenn asked me how I became a children's book writer. I explained that I really wanted to be a children's book illustrator, so I began by sending postcards of my artwork to art directors. In the following clips I talk about how I started writing as well.
Mary
doesn't understand the question.
"Not
too Sharp" (20 seconds)
Mary
writes her first
published story.
"Which
came first, the chicken or the egg?"
(36 seconds)
Well, there you have it! Thanks, Glenn! I had a wonderful time. Find out more about Glenn and Janice and the Fabulous Rebecca at It's All about Arts!

This is the snowflake I created for the 2007 Robert's Snow Benefit for the Dana Farber Cancer Institute. It is Kepley, the character in my new book The Nutcracker Doll. Thank you to everyone who bid on snowflakes to support Cancer research!
Read Elaine Magliaro's interview about my work and my snowflake on her fabulous blog, Wild Rose Reader.
Elaine shares her love and joy of poetry on Wild Rose Reader. Elaine has an unerring eye for beauty, and is generous in sharing her favorites with us. Reading beautiful poetry is like receiving a bouquet of flowers. Visit Elaine's blog and see for yourself! Thank you, Elaine.
Your
friendly neighborhood independent bookstore is a great place to buy
books!
If they don't have what you are looking for, they can order it for
you :-)
