One way to make the winter pass is to answer all those letters from you kids at school. All those questions about “I Did It Because…”! I really had to do some hard thinking to come up with good answers.

Another good way to spend the winter is MOVING. I packed up everything I owned and moved it across town to the 18th floor of a big redbrick octagonal building that overlooks the whole city. It also looks right into the ballet school, which has glass windows from top to bottom. I could see men, women and kids doing their ballet exercises day and night.

And in between letters and dance-watching, I worked on my next book, with Michael Martchenko doing the illustrations. Here’s the picture that’ll go on the title page:

Back to the drawing board. Keep warm. Letters, questions, and inquiries about Author Visits, e-mail me anytime.
