The news of the past month, and a book is about to happen!

This will probably be the cover for the new Hilda The Wicked Witch story.

"Flower People".

Volume 29 in the series. I'm not sure yet when it goes live, edits are ongoing.

It's about time to start thinking about the cover image for Hilda 29.

I was a teacher's aide my senior year of high school, which was the last year of high school, and I was a teacher's aide for a World War 2 history class.

It was a general education level, which meant any answer these kids put had to be marked correct, because it showed they tried.

Now one girl in the class found out about this loophole and when posed with the essay question of what caused #WorldWar2 to start, she wrote a full essay on "Because the House Fell on the #WickedWitch of the West".

Now, the teacher that I was being a teacher's aide for ended up getting in a huge fight with the principal because he hated marking this correct because it was fundamentally untrue.

But at the end of the day, he was forced to mark this correct and give her credit for this. That's #NoChildLeftBehind, baby. (t y) #Oz #Wicked

I'm having a Hildalemma.
I want to keep writing the story but I don't want it to end - and I'm working up to the end now. 😬

#Writing #WickedWitch

Years ago we daydreamed a fantastical commedia dell'arte scenario where young Dorotea faced trouble at home from the machinations of her clueless father Dottore Gratiano to the unwanted attention of miser Panalone to the greedy vengeance of black widow Vittoria. But when Dorotea flees her home as a tornadic storm hits Venice she becomes lost and dreams of a fantastical pastorale island where everyone looks like someone she knows (with a twist) including an enchantress most WICKED and a not-so-WONDERFUL Meraviglioso Mago di Gozo!

Just thought we'd share this weekend for some reason...

"Leonis and Braggarts and Fools! OH MY!"

Hilda 28 already has a cover! And the story still has to be proofed!

I think this is a first.

Did you know the first 6 Hilda books are free almost everywhere? (Amazon can be finnicky about that..., out of my control...)

The artist put a lot of themselves into this cat, I’m thinking. #BlackCat #Halloween #OrangeMoon #WickedWitch
