Dear friends,

Are you attending the American Library Association Convention in Chicago?
Good news! Stop by at one of my signings so you can pick up a brochure that entitles you to a 15% discount on the next time I visit your school!

Yes, 15% discount for a school visit! This offer is good for one full year!

It is simple, pick up one of the numbered brochures, and schedule a school visit that includes at least one Alicia Afterimage program. These are programs geared to teens and it is highly recommended that the students read the book prior to my visit. Oh! Did you know that for Alicia Afterimage Lee & Low Books offers a 50% off and free ground shipping on orders of 10 or more books purchased non-returnable for an event? This is quite the deal. So be sure to order copies of the book for your students prior to my visit! They will be grateful for it.

Art Sale!


In the many years that I have been illustrating children's books, I have created hundreds of pieces. Although some have found their way into museums, galleries, and private collections, I still have watercolors, oil paintings, and linoleum prints, in search of an art lover.

If you like my artwork, and are interested in purchasing a piece, use any of my books as a catalog to choose from. Then contact me and I will be happy to discuss the availability of the piece in question.
