"We Don't Make Fuzzy-Bunny Books" from Tony DiTerlizzi, co-creator of the Spiderwick Chronicles. Peek: "I am in the thick of finishing the 30+ illustrations for my upcoming chapter book, Kenny and the Dragon. As I’ve mentioned in previous posts, it is inspired from Kenneth Grahame’s short story, The Reluctant Dragon, from his book Dream Days." Note: I covet the art of Mr. DiTerlizzi, which I suspect is out of my price range. Sigh.
In Profile: NY Times Bestselling Novelist Lisa McMann by Kelly Spitzer from Writers in Profile. Peek: "There are millions of people who would give anything to be in your shoes. How badly do you want this? Enough to step out of your comfort zone and go get it? Enough that you don't want to have to start this process over again because you were too afraid to promote your first book and it's failing? If you want it, if you want this life as an author, if you ever want to sell another book, your goal needs to be this: You must do everything in your power to make this book succeed, because if you don't, and this book fails, nobody gets fired...except you."
