Back on Tour -- to the Kootenays!

The blog tour continues...

Leapt across the province -- along with my scribe, kc dyer -- for a chat with writer, uber-mom and extremely cool dude Deb Anderson. Deb's blog, Prose Positive, can always be counted on for an inspirational read. And if you hop on over there RIGHT now, you can leave a comment and win, win, win!

See you there!

Dead Frogs Ahead...!

The fine author pictured here is Jan Markley, from Calgary, Alberta. Jan's very kindly invitd me across the Rockies for a brief visit to talk about FACING FIRE.

She's also put up all kinds of weird pictures of kc dyer on her site, along with my guest post.

You can find all the craziness HERE, along with links to Jan's book DEAD FROG ON THE PORCH.

Zip on over and have a look!

Darby Communes with the Secret Elephant

This is amazing. Today I get to visit with another author-illustrator -- this one named Kirsti-Anne Wakelin. Kirsti's got THE most beautiful blog I've ever seen. [Check out that dragonfly!]

She usually posts pictures of her illustrations and the process of making picture books, but today she very generously invited me to visit.

I hope you take the time for a good look around while you are there -- it is a beautiful place, and if you look really hard, you may even find a secret elephant!

Today's stop...Ev Bishop!

The things I do for this blog. Today I flew all the way up to Terrace, British Columbia, and boy are my pixels tired...

Okay, okay -- it was a virtual flight. But I'm excited because I got to chat with the wonderful writer Ev Bishop. She confesses about how her journals shape her work, and we've got contest entries already.

Go check it out!

Ev's Blog is HERE.

More tomorrow!
