Hey guys,
So I just started using Pinterest to collect inspirational images for my book-in-progress. Many of you have been asking for details about this next book (thank you for being curious!) I've been a little mysterious about it, since my creativity seems to work better that way, at this stage at least. Sorry about that... but I thought these Pinterest images could give you some intriguing clues to my next book. Maybe you can imagine what the story might be...
There is chocolate.
There are jungle ruins.
There is a magical tree.
There are ancient secrets.
Here is my Pinterest link, in case you want to peruse more of these images, or if you're interested in connecting with me that way: http://pinterest.com/laureysr/ .
Thanks for swinging by. Now I'm off to my son's preschool "Peace Party." Apparently the kids came up with this theme on their own. Sweet, isn't it? It made me remember when he was about two, and we rewarded him with a little sticker after we brushed his teeth. I had a booklet of stickers, and one of the pages featured lots of tiny peace symbols. These were his favorite. He'd let us brush his teeth, and then I'd tell him to pick out which sticker he wanted. He'd smile big and shout, with happy abandon, "I WANT PEACE!"
Hope you're having a peaceful and joyful summer!
Oh, and Baltimore friends: I got confirmation that I'll be at the Baltimore Book Festival at the end of September. My panel, called "Baltimore Bred" is with some great kids and teen authors-- all of whom grew up in Baltimore! Check my Events page soon for exact day and time. I'm so excited about this!
And another upcoming event, for my teacher and librarian friends-- the NCTE conference in Las Vegas in November. I'll be speaking at the ALAN workshops-- yay! More details to come soon on my Events page.
xo,
Laura
