I have been a fan of yours since you were born because your Mom has been one of my best friends from way before then, so I have had the privilege of knowing the original Iggy personally! I remember him dressed up in his party clothes and his Sunday best, and I was thrilled to read the great book about him and his fascinating friends! I can hardly wait to read his next two books!

A majority of my time is spent on the marketing side so to speak. There are so many ways to get out there, so in addition to actually connecting with my audience through school visits and signings, I do online, direct, ads, and the list goes on and on. I now have help with this though, because there aren't enough hours in the day to do it all. It is hard work, but I love being able to where 3 hats.
