3D gargoyle AND Ontario Library Association Interview!

I love being a writer. Every once in a while, something really cool happens! How lucky am I?

This month BEHOLD ... my gargoyle puppet and I are immortalized forever in 3D printing!! Thank you so much to the wonderful librarians at the Innisfil IdeaLab and Library, who sent this to me as a thank you gift, after I did the Seepe Walters Kids Writing Contest tour.

Here's my "Secrets to Being a Writer" Youtube video, to inspire kids to enter the contest, hilarious!

I talked to over 4000 kids in 3 days, in every school in Innisfil, Ontario. It was a blast, I loved every minute. Here's an image of this adorable 3D gargoyle from behind (I think it's cuter from behind!)>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

And hard at work in front of a group of kids in Innisfil

In more awesome news, MANY THANKS to the Ontario School Library Association, for interviewing me for their current issue of The Teaching Librarian!

It's a 4-page interview, in which I talk about Charlotte's Web (the book that made me want to become a writer at age 9), my influences (Lord of the Rings and fantasy in general), where I get my ideas (walking around Toronto helps), my process, reading to my kids, the importance of cliffhangers, loving  your monster and more! Pick up a copy to read all you could possibly ever want to know (plus much, much more) about yours truly.

One last picture of me holding my gargoyle puppet, who is holding the 3D statue of me holding my gargoyle puppet (hee hee!):
