Why don't you email me (orloff@bestweb.net) and we can figure out a day.<br />Good to hear from you!Karen Kaufman Orloffnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1007703247358638748.post-1886800273962881782011-02-10T14:09:01.540-05:002011-02-10T14:09:01.540-05:00Karen,

The title of the new book, I Wanna New Room, makes me think of my middle schooler, who is always complaining her room is the size of her aunt's bathroom (it is). I think Miranda would really appreciate this book.<br /><br />On another note, we really enjoyed your visit at Millbrook Community Preschool a couple of years ago. I would like to invite you back with your new books on a day this spring that works for you (say sometime in March or April). Please let me know if you are interested.<br /><br />Best,<br />DianeDiane Shttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00976576526106773491noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1007703247358638748.post-32225770941867348992011-02-10T09:38:08.595-05:002011-02-10T09:38:08.595-05:00Thanks for all those nice remarks!
To answer your ...Thanks for all those nice remarks!<br />To answer your question, Teri, about the middle grade -- once in a while I do take it out and re-read. I think with some work I may submit again one day. I've also written other stuff for older kids but I find it's hard to have enough patience to work on longer things. I do hope to expand one day into middle grade and maybe even YA.

I enjoy the humorous way that you approach your subjects. My children can certainly relate to having their rooms usurped by newcomers.

If I have to read Llama Llama or Who Loves the Little Lamb one more time I....probably will.

Karen, it was great to hear that you spent time going to classes and working at your craft...so often, it feels like we (unpublished authors) hear stories of "I got an agent and contract a month into querying," which can be frustrating for those of us still struggling. <br /><br />LOVE the sound of your books--they all sound like so much fun! I will definitely look to get some for my daughter!<br /><br />Thanks again (you too Susanna!).Jesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14121018905141253640noreply@blogger.com
