Summer is on the way and we are happy to be launching Two Little Birds Books! Take a look at our website here: Two Little Bird Books I'm heading out on the road next week to start spreading the word. If you are planning to be at BEA this year look for me to be signing copies of Itsy Bitsy Spider on Friday the 31st. Never a dull moment when creating a publishing imprint, we've had some issues with getting Spider out into the world but finally have an official pub date June 15, 2013. I am busy illustrating some new projects and will be working with Stacey Williams-Ng of Little Bahalia Publishing to create some wonderful e-book apps. So many fun opportunities have come my way this year, it's exciting!

and an Itsy Bitsy Spider

Hey hey hey - after a hectic month (year) of rushing around, I am about to announce a new project. It will involve a Kickstarter campaign. Check back here next week to see what I've been up to!

I know, I know, I have been woefully remiss in not updating my site. It has been a busy year thus far! Been across the pond for the Children's Book Ireland conference, published two new books working on two more and have been working on some animation projects. Very exciting! here's a sneak peak at one of our new books due out in October launching in New Orleans, one of my favorite places on earth. Ant and the Grasshopper

2012

I am looking forward to the new year and all it brings. A round up of 2011 includes selling our first song, wrapping up a documentary- see it here at www.lynda.com  note to self; next time you're on film, not sure lavender poufy blouse is the way to go and hire your own lighting, hair and make up... launched first couple of smart phone applications with Night&Day Studios.
About to launch the first fabric collection with Cloud9 Fabrics. Look for it in February. The future looks bright and I am excited. The very best of all is the way I will begin this year - in Tulum Mexico. One month to recharge rest and renew. See you all in 2012, hope your year is overflowing with opportunity, happiness and growth.

Fun new stuff ! We have created a music division here at EMBR group and our first 4 songs are now available for download. If you love Ed's classic Go Away Big Green Monster, you can now hear the incredibly cool song that his grand daughter (and my daughter) Adrian Emberley wrote and performed for the upcoming anniversary of this beloved book.  Also a musical version of my newest book Ten Little Beasties, along with a couple of inspirational drawing songs for fun! My husband Peter Black and myself, (and Adrian of course) are in the process of creating a musical for the Beasties- Beasties on Broadway! Fun - did I say I am having a lot of fun?

Adrian also has a new album of her own that dropped on June 18, self titled; Adrian Emberley and the Revolving Band. with 12 tracks, it's longer than her last album "Love" and it has a slightly more sophisticated kind of 60's vibe. On it's way to itunes, she's got cd's a 7" vinyl with two songs and download cards for sale- you can listen to a few of the new songs 

@ Adrian Emberley You can contact her if you want a copy or to see her perform live. Adrian is also in the process of putting up a new website. So look for the update @ www.adrianemberley.com

Lots and lots of fun stuff on the horizon this summer- we are working on an animated series, more smart phone/tablet apps, a documentary in progress for Lynda.com  and a shout out to First Book, www.firstbook.org for helping me place 4,000 copies of Adventure Girls with a charitable organization here in Maine. My days as a publisher are over for the time being. I am thrilled that the books will find their way into the hands of girls who can use them, rather than accumulating dust. 

Invaluable lesson learned.

Yippeee! I have a new website!

I am so excited to be connected again, it's been over 3 years since I had a website of any kind. Crazy huh? So many new things happening that I just kept putting it off.  You know how that goes.  But  - here I am live and in color. In the news this week,  is the launch of the new iphone app Shake & Make,  created by Night and Day Studios. You can check it out here - Shake & Make and it looks like this-

Pretty cool       

Also launching this weekend, at the Toronto Comics Arts Festival, is a wonderful project with 15 fabulous artists including me and my father Ed. A  print collection entitled Monster Parade with CloudyCollection, created by David Huyck ,and sponsored in part by Anne Koyama at Koyama Press. Contact David if you wish to purchase one of these sets. I can't wait to see them!
