What I've been working on by Wendy Martin

I'm still chipping away at my picture book dummy. Baby steps.

Also, I've been on the hunt for an agent and am in the waiting to hear back stage.

Plus, I'm part of a group of other kidlitters who are working together to make November official Picture Book Month. (Both School Library Journal and Publishers Weekly ran articles on Thursday this week.) Visit the web site to find out more.

Is anyone else signed up for Picture Book Idea Month in November?

In honor of Ms. Potter

I did this painting back in February. Since I went to the library and took out all the Potter books they had to work on my mousie, I thought it would be a good tribute piece. In the spring I was contacted by a counted cross stitch pattern maker to license the image as a a counted cross stitch. I must say that was a huge thrill. The pattern is up here.

The site also licensed several other pieces, mostly flowers, which have not been made into patterns yet.

Thanks for having me aboard. This is my first submission. I hope you all like it. :)
