More "Katharine the Almost Great" books!



It is always so much fun to have your hard work come to life in book form! It takes so long(sometimes more than a year or two) for a book to finally get published after the art has been turned in. It never really seems real until you hold the book in your hand and are able to smell the new ink on the paper and to hear the tiny crack of the spine when opened for the very first time. :)

Here are the next six books(6-12) in the series of Katherine the Almost Great books written by the talented Lisa Mullarkey and illustrated by moi. :) They are published by ABDO and only offered in library binding at this time but hopefully you can find them in a library nearest you OR if you want, they are also available at your local bookstore or online.

P.S. How did you include that dot pattern on your blog? I love it? Is it some kind of code? I'd like to add some drawing patterns to my blog like that.

Hmmm....not sure where I found the backgrounds but I know it was somewhere among the settings on blogger. Let me go take a look and see if I remember but I know it was done through blogger's options.

Ok...to get a unique blogger background, go to the blogger dashboard and click on "settings", then click "Design", then on the "Template Designer" tab and then click on background. :) Hope that helps, Paige and have fun!

Congratulations on getting your books! I work at a library so I will see if we have them, if not I will recommend them to my manager who does the ordering! You're an inspiration!
