Katherine Dunn/artist of Apifera Farm

Hi all, and thanks from Stella too. She is going to be fun to collaborate with. If I only had more hands.

OK, Justine your face keeps changing! I love all the profle pics, you beauty....

How nice to meet you. I suspect there are so many out there with like values. Never been to your beautiful state but my grandfather lived on Potomac in MD and it was beautiful.

I swear I didn't touch that tab, but today physically re-added it.

Monica- I haven't read the book [only becasue I don't want it to influence my writing right now] but that was one of the things that upset me most. I never would post another's writing, and add art to it without contacting anyone. And the fact i'm busting my butt to get published, and someone goes and takes my children's illustrations next to another writer, about a donkey, it just upset me greatly. Yes, she likes animals.

Joyce- wow, it's sad. Can't believe a publisher would have had the guts to pirate, right out in open. Glad you found it and gor just due. I have a tracker on my main site, and click on links to check thinks out, and there it was. She must have taken the images from Picturebook or blog, and cut out my © though. My main site protects people from downloading. I too think people get confused by the 'share feature" that I now have on my blog.

Hey Kat, I know they are working on the Amazon marketing material now, and I think after January I will be able to show more and get you jazzed. I'll definately post the minute I know. I'm excited too!

That's so great, Marta. Gracias to you too.Nana, Pita and Lola are lucky too. I do so little compared to many people. I have a hard time looking att he shelter photos, and many work there trying to help, so I do what I can. There are so many. But I do know, even though I only give small amounts of money at a time, that it can really help buy food or meds. I know when some people pass on a $10 bill to me for the cats or whatever, it really helps. Old Dog Haven does a lot of good.

hah!
