Blog & website of children's book author Tara Lazar
Got any plans?
Live in north/central New Jersey?
Well, come on down! (You’re the next contestant on The Book is Right!)
Author Darlene Jacobsen and I. And me? Or is it I?
I’ll be signing THE MONSTORE at The Bookworm in Bernardsville on June 20th, from 3:30 to 5:00pm.
Gummi worms for all!
Hope to see you there! (I’ll be the person directing people to the bathroom.)
As a children's book author and mother of two, I'm pushing a stroller along the path to publication. I collect shiny doodads on the journey and share them here. You've found a kidlit treasure box.

Good for you Tara!!!! So happy for your success. I’m moving to Hightstown in July – but still in NYC until then. Maybe after the move I can make it to another signing. Sincerely, Barbara http://www.barbaradilorenzo.com

Great picture! I wish I could go. When you have a book signing in NYC, please let me know and I’ll rally the troops!

Great video Tara, all warm and squishy. Best of luck with the signing and thank you so much for the tip re: ‘Storybird,’ it is helping me in more ways than you can imagine; I owe you, thanks!

Congrats, Tara! Funnily enough, I will be on the east coast…but in New Hampshire…a little bit far (not that you and The Monstore aren’t worth it:). My niece and cousin are actually driving up from NYC so they can spend some time with me.:)
Best of luck at the book signing!!!

Re: Author Darlene Jacobsen and I. And me? Or is it I?
It depends on where this phrase is used in a sentence. “Me” would be correct if the pronoun is the object of the verb in a sentence, i.e. “This is Darlene Jacobsen and me in this picture.” Remove “Darlene Jacobsen and” to see what sounds right. You wouldn’t say “This is I in this picture.” “I” would be correct if it’s the subject in the sentence, i.e. “Darlene Jacobsen and I are in this picture.” Remove “Darlene Jacobsen and”. “I am in this picture” sounds right. “Me is in this picture” doesn’t.

Tara, will try to get there – but have a baseball game to carpool too. If I don’t see you have a great time.

Love the video. Did you make it? I would definitely go to a book signing by you, but you are across two states from me. Good luck with it.
