I'm a Navy brat that lived all over the world including Guam, Paris and the New Orleans Westbank. Even though we moved a lot, my emotional home was always Forest Hill, Louisiana, a little town in the piney-woods where my grandparents lived. I married a Texan and have lived in Texas most of my adult life. Both states feel like home now. I like to say that Louisiana gave me roots and Texas gave me branches. I started writing on yellow legal pads and didn't own a computer until after I'd been writing a year. Maybe that's why I still write my first drafts by hand.

I was intrigued by the synopsis on the back. The book isn't bad, but I wouldn't say it's great either. It's pretty white-centric. I spent a lot of the first two chapters reading the characters as Black (wishful thinking on my part), until it's sort of made clear that they're all white. There are t...

A strange, but oddly compelling little book about what it's like for a child to wait for the birth of a baby. In this case Iris is awaiting the birth of her cousin Gregory. She is curious and impatient and looks to the adults around her for answers - When will he come? And how? But their evasive...

The story is too long for a picture book. Kimberly should stick to novels. That's what she does best.

The best way I can think to describe this one is as a historical fiction with fantastical elements. It’s really well done, with a wide cast of characters that you learn to care about over the course of the book. It brings up a number of issues without every feeling preachy about them.
