Big News People, BIG.

As reported in Publisher's Marketplace: 

Catherine Bailey's MIND YOUR MONSTERS, in which a boy's quiet life is politely interrupted when monsters come to town, to Zaneta Jung at Sterling Children's, in a nice deal, by Kathleen Rushall at Marsal Lyon Literary Agency (World).

So there it is. I have a deal for my first picture book manuscript. I could not have done it without the help of my ridiculously talented critique partners, supportive family and genius agent. And let’s not forget the super awesome folks at Sterling. Thank you. 

I want to post “how I got published” and “how I got an agent” stories, but I keep slipping into giggle fits. I’m sure that will wear off soon. Tee-hee.
