So who is Annalise the special dish for? Everyone! But more specifically newly independent readers looking to ease into longer books, characters that look like their neighbors, a funny autistic coded MC, and food… lots of food.

I’ve had art supplies just sitting there for months. Thought I’d draw some cute gardening spreads…. Instead, I drew ice agents as characters from animal farm. I am not good at whimsy 😂🤦🏽‍♀️

I was in 2nd grade when Bill Wallace signed my copy of A Dog Called Kitty. It was a moment that stuck with me forever and unknowingly changed the trajectory of my life. I could barely see over the table, but the reality that you could write books and not be old or dead was mind blowing.

I totally forgot I had an account here 😂 Still in Jersey, still with the phenomenal @saribelp.bsky.social , and still spending too many hours in the garden. However, I did some great charity work, did some wonderful book visits, and Annalise the Special Dish won an JLG.

Sometimes I just sit around and think about my chickens and wonder if they miss me. Probably not. Here's a picture of Chickira anyway.
