BEA STUDIO TOURS

Today it was my great pleasure to be a part of the BEA studio tours. It was an honor to have the book sellers in my studio. That’s Catherine van der Bil (above left) from EIGHT COUSINS and Tegan Tigani (above  right) from QUEEN ANNE BOOK COMPANY. In the photo below on the left is Gussie Lewis from the GAITHERSBURG BOOK FESTIVAL and on the right, Amy Oelkers from RED BALLON BOOKSHOP. Also if you look closely you can see my cover for Ann Martin and Laura Godwin’s new book “The Doll People Set Sail”. I'll post more of that on another day.
