I've thoroughly enjoyed reading about Mary's journey in writing and how she juggled sketching for her children's book while at a law conference. Don't think I can multitask like you, Mary! Well done on finishing the book. Your cover is gorgeous and the sketches shown here are delightful, too!<br /><br />Thanks for sharing Mary's story with us, Barbara.
