Thank you for your patience with the PiBoIdMo winner announcements. I intend to get to them prior to year’s end, so I hope you’ll stick around just a while longer. Here, have a cookie. If you can catch him, that is.
All grand prize winners plus Pre-PiBo and Post-PiBo winners have been notified via email. If you were a winner and did not receive an email, please contact me.
In the meantime, let me leave you with a gentle reminder (which you don’t really need, do you?) to give a book as a gift this holiday! Garrison Keillor said it best…
And since it’s almost 2015, here are sneak peeks from my upcoming titles to be released in August, September and October (talk about bada-bing, bada-boom-boom-BOOM!). Funny how these books were each signed within one year of each other, but they’re being released within one month of each other!
I THOUGHT THIS WAS A BEAR BOOK (Aladdin/S&S, August 2015)
illustrated by Benji Davies
NORMAL NORMAN (Sterling, September 2015)
illustrated by S.Britt
LITTLE RED GLIDING HOOD (Random House, October 2015)
illustrated by Troy Cummings
Once again, thanks for your patience with the PiBoIdMo winner announcements.
And may you and your family have a joyful holiday season!
(I hope you receive some really cool writerly gift!)

Hi tara. I found out I was a winner (not grand prize) through your regular e-mail, not a private one.
This has been a most wonderful experience for me. Thank you so much for being the catalyst.
