Hi Friends,
I’m thrilled to share something with you today. I like to write about books that I’m reading but today I’m sharing a picture book that I wrote. It is being published by the fantastic Cardinal Rule Press and will be launched on May 1, 2020. Here is a sneak peek cover reveal.
Are you ready? Not only am I sharing the title but the actual cover illustrated by the amazing Alicia Teba.
Okay, here it is – the cover for EVIE’S FIELD DAY – More Than One Way to Win:
Isn’t it wonderful? I love the colors, the font, and the look on Evie’s face. The sweet bird is a hint at what is to come.
Getting a book published is a big dream that takes a lot of work and then being able to find the right publisher at the right time. I feel like I won the lottery!!!
My book is about a girl named Evie who loves to win (who doesn’t?) but finds herself losing. It’s about winning, losing, and doing the right thing. I hope you will love it as much as I do. I will be sharing more about the process in the months leading up to the book’s release.
Evie’s Field Day is available now for pre-order on Amazon.
Thanks for joining me on this journey. You are all the best!
Love,
Claire

Lovely cover, Claire.
I am holding a “Rainy Day Read-a-Thon with my grandkids over Thanksgiving. I chose a mixture:
The Gingerbread Pirates (PB)
Under the Blood Red Sun (Classic MG)
The Dog Who Lost it’s Bark (New MG)
The Infinity Ring (#1 in a MG 2012 Series)
Great choices, Trine! A rainy-day read-a-thon sounds like lots of fun.
