Dana

Hi everyone! I finally figured out how to post and sign in on the board-sheesh, took me a little while (I can be a little thick sometimes). Any hoo, I am interested in poetry, children's books, and I dabble in essays, commentaries, and I have one self-help title in the submission process. My first children's book, "Stop Bullying Bobby!" is scheduled for release by New Horizon Press in 2004. I've illustrated 2 middle reader covers, a poetry book cover, and cover and inside art for two self-help titles-plus I'm working on my own children's titles. (Geesh-sounds like a bio) I like to have fun and have a rather warped sense of humor at times. I'm an avid scottie and westie fan (dogs that is) Well that's about it for me-I look forward to learning and sharing with all of you! Dana[/i]

Wow tea, cookies, humor-what more could one ask for? It's all here! I am especially glad to share the warped humor-I know I'm in good company now!
I hope to be more active soon-I just have a lot of stuff on my plate (and it's not edible), and I certainly am not complaining, but forgive me if I don't post a lot for right now. But I will be lurking...ooooooo
Have a great day everyone! Dana from the warped zone
