rachel ray and toeshoe troubles

I suppose I should post something other than Sugar Plum Ballerinas news, but I don't really have any other news at the moment. Halloween is over, I'm loaded up with work as usual, and I'm trying to learn how to live in a world without dairy. Hallelujah there's no lactose in Diet Coke....

A bit short notice, Whoopi Goldberg will be on Rachel Ray promoting Sugar Plum Ballerinas on Tues, Nov 11.

And the cover for the second Sugar Plum book: Toeshoe Troubles, can now be seen at amazon.com (or if you're really clever, you can see it in this very same blog!) For those who read the first book (it is a really cute book - go buy it!) that's Brenda on the cover, with her snotty cousin Tiffany.

#3 on the new york times

Just got the word, Plum Fantastic has debuted at #3 on next week's NYT bestseller list, in the children's paperback category.

How cool!

Also in Sugar Plum Ballerina news, book #2: Toeshoe Trouble, is planned for May 2009 release, and the third book to follow Winter 2010.

And finally, Barnes and Noble has a short little video interview with Whoopi Goldberg at their site. It shows a few of the interior illustrations.
