And the Winner...

Thank you to everyone who voted. For some reason, Blogger poll decided to keep resetting, but I was keeping track of votes on my own. THE NOISE GOBBLER pulled ahead, followed closely by THE LONELY MINOTAUR. Tying for third were PURPLE ORANGES and KNICK-KNACK KNUCKLE. I now have an order in which to start my editing and revisions. Thanks!

As a reward, I will now give you a quick synopsis of the winner. Enjoy and don't be afraid to let me know what you think in the comments.

Benjamin Bibbity won't go to bed. He stomps on the floor and shouts instead. When everyone else is fast asleep, from under the bed, THE NOISE GOBBLER creeps.

Mostly made up of ears, the creature eats every sound it hears. Peace and quiet is better than sheep, helping everyone to soundly sleep.

I'm excited to get to work on this and looking forward to sharing it with everyone!

New Projects in the Pipeline

This past week was PiBoWriWee --- Picture Book Writing Week. The challenge: To write a new picture book draft every day for seven days. To my own amazement, I managed to complete it.

Now, I'm facing a new challenge. With seven fresh picture book manuscripts to work on, which one do I tackle first? This is where you all come in.

I'm posting the Working Titles ONLY for each of the seven books. These titles may change in the future, but they're how I'm identifying them for now. Armed with only the titles and any information you may have picked up from me over the week, I want you to vote on my next project.

Voting will be open until the weekend, when I hope to start in on edits and revisions on the winner. The candidates are:

1. PURPLE ORANGES
2. KNICK-KNACK KNUCKLE
3. DELILAH GRAY
4. PERFECT PET
5. THE NOISE GOBBLER
6.  THE LONELY MINOTAUR
7. HIC, HIC, HICCUP

So, lovelies, what's it gonna be? You can click on your choice in the poll on the right. Thoughts and comments are always welcome as well.
