Update on Book #4 You didn't know there was a #4 in the works now, did you? Full of surprises here... I'm working on compiling many of my poems--some published on this blog and some brand new--into a small book of poetry for adults! And that's the reason for the many older poetry books in these [...]
Update on The Shoephabet & The Monsterbet We printed the individual pages of both books large (11x11") and have them displayed in the Warsaw Performing Arts Center now through August.

I'm on Instagram. Did you know that? I've only been on a few months, still learning the ropes, but if you're on there yourself, look me up! @bysarahsteele You'll find contests, book sneak peeks, and the occasional photo of my little redheads.
