Actual current photo (editor's note: not any more. I am sparing you a newer one). Notice portrait of Winnie (partial view) behind me. (My hair is grayer, longer, slightly weird, and some other things. Plus I have lost one of those earrings.)
Here is teeny me signing in Texas in April for the Bluebonnet list. I flew there! On a plane! I had fun! (It is possible that I hate to fly.)
Older photo. Better.
The anti-author photo: Mary Azarian, illustrator of HERE COMES DARRELL, and I pose with excavator. Try using a magnifying glass.
Photo by Bob Rosenfeld.
Darrell Farnham, the inspiration for HERE COMES DARRELL, digs a pond with his excavator.

Welcome to my web site, where recently I seem to be overdoing the exclamation points!WOW! MONSIEUR MARCEAU has won the Orbis Pictus Award for Outstanding Nonfiction! WOW! People here (and dogs) are dancing about with joy! Big thanks to the committee and everyone involved in this book!And also, here is an article in my home-town paper, The Times-Argus, which seems to be about me.How nice that you have managed to find the virtual me. Please hit a lot of buttons and explore, look at dog photos and other assorted photographs, and CHECK OUT MY BOOKS! I update the pages fairly often.
It is not easy to put up all these pages that are full of information about me and my books for children when I'd rather talk about you, but I do it anyway. I live in Plainfield, Vermont, the center of the universe, where 1200 other souls and I enjoy our used bookstore, the cafe at Plainfield Hardware, a gas station-convenience store, the original Positive Pie, our beloved food coop, the Cutler Memorial Library, and the glorious Green Mountains. I've been here a long time and the traffic is getting much worse, the winters are long, and the blackflies are terrible. I tell you this to discourage you from moving here. (Underneath my hostile exterior, however, I am a very nice person.) I write books for children and I teach in the MFA program in writing for children and young adults at Vermont College of Fine Arts in Montpelier.
"A stunning achievement." *in Kirkus. *in SLJ!
