Book Pre-Order: The Women Doctors of the Church

I hit the ground running this month, and I haven’t stopped! I am hoping to be able to do another book review next week. But in the meantime, I have exciting news: a book I illustrated, The Women Doctors of the Church by Colleen Pressprich, is now available for pre-order! I must say, I think this is the loveliest book I’ve worked on yet, and I can’t wait for its release.

UPDATE: Well... I just heard from the editor that Amazon has it wrong! It is slated for a Fall 2022 release now. So stay tuned....

Book Review: Light of the Saints

I had seen a couple of little “Shine the Light” style books before, and thought it was a cute concept. Take a flashlight, hold it behind the page you are reading, and a new image appears. It works especially well when applied to the Saints! Their lives were full of the hidden mysteries of God, and their virtues shined through. Hold a flashlight to Light of the Saints by Cory Heimann, illustrated by Tricia Dugat, and holy attributes and images physically appear. It is wonderful!

Behind the Pages: Light of Heaven, A Children's Book of Saints

Last week I hinted that my Light of Heaven Saints Coloring book had a larger story with it. Here is the rest of the story. When Our Sunday Visitor accepted my coloring book for publication, they sent along a question- would I be interested in doing a picture book version? I responded yes!

Behind the Pages- a peek at how a book came to be (this one was by me). This is the book that started it all for me. It started my journey as a Catholic author and illustrator, and I could not be more grateful to God for the way things worked out.

Book Review: Love God, Love Me, Love You

At 22 months, my son’s attention span varies quite a bit, especially when it comes to reading books! But Love God, Love Me, Love You, a Tiny Saints board book written by Joe Klinker and illustrated by Manuel Corsi, is the ideal length for him as it is perfectly geared toward wee ones.
