Greetings! And welcome to my occasional newsletter. I have a few things I’d like to share…
Look what Deetjen’s Closet won! First place in the prestigious Gertrude Warner Middle Grade Fiction Awards! I was happy just to be a finalist, but when they called “First Place, Deetjen’s Closet by Debbie Noble Black” at the awards ceremony in Bellingham, Washington, I was thrilled beyond words. And now the cover gets to sport shiny gold stickers!
Deetjen’s Closet is available at your local bookstore, Barnes & Noble, Amazon, and Bookshop.
And look what was just released! Book Two…
The Old Secret at Hotel Oregon available at your local bookstore, Barnes and Noble, Amazon, and Bookshop
Bring the kids!
Come join me at a book signing for The Old Secret at Hotel Oregon. Stop by, say hi, and enter the drawing for some very unique book-related items. No purchase necessary.
(I’m not going to light those candles!)
Do you have a great idea for a children’s book? Unsure what age it’s for? Where to start?
I’ll be presenting:
Kid Lit 101: An Introduction to Writing for Children
This session will outline the basic criteria for picture books, chapter books, middle grade and young adult, with a little deeper dive into middle grade (ages 8-12).
Sign up at: Central Coast Writers Conference
Thanks for reading!
