MARY LU CANNON

And of course my awesome momma's sweet and funny children's tale--WHO WRECKED THE WITCH-A-THON?--is now available, having launched last week!

You can get the ebook over at the Ibis Bookstore.


If you prefer paperback, you can grab that at Amazon.


And the hardback--which turned out gorgeous!--is available over at... well, it WAS available, we are experiencing some confusing technical difficulties with the printer right now--must be some Halloween gremlins pulling some candy-related shenanigans--but I'm working hard (as in: relentlessly hounding IT support and customer service!) to get this link back up.


In fact, I'm going to go call them again right now. You all have a wonderful, shenanigan-free weekend!
