  • From Newsletter of Elizabeth Winthrop, Author.May 2005 Dear Friends,

    I'm a writer in what I call the "creative valley." Sometimes people call it writer's block, but I happen not to believe in the whole idea of a block. What's happening to me now is that I'm resting and refilling, building up the energy and ideas and growing new characters who will soon start whispering their stories into my ear.

    I recently finished the last rewrite of my latest novel, COUNTING ON GRACE (Wendy Lamb Books, Random House, Spring, 2006) and I'm hunting around for the next book. Will it finally be the third CASTLE book? Very possibly. But in the meantime I want to tell you about my latest picture book, out this month with Henry Holt. I grew up squashed in the middle of five brothers (two older, three younger) so it will be no surprise to my family and fans to hear that my latest work is called SQUASHED IN THE MIDDLE. It tells the story of Daisy who has to shout to be heard over the din of her noisy, well- meaning family.

    Whenever I speak to kids at schools and book fairs, I tell them that by the time they reach the age of twelve, they'll have enough ideas to write fifty books...as long as they catch their experiences in a journal... as long as they live a noticing life. SQUASHED IN THE MIDDLE proves that even after more than fifty published books, I'm still plumbing my own childhood for stories.

    I am often blessed with gifted illustrators who with strokes of pen and brush bring my characters to life. Pat Cummings is no exception. With energy and a sparkling palette and her own unique eye, this award-winning illustrator has caught all of Daisy's emotional ups and downs with her bossy older sister and her annoying younger brother. I'm hoping that middle children everywhere will rejoice that their tale has finally been told!

    An added bonus is a teaching tips page with ideas (LINK) for bringing the trials and tribulations of Daisy right home to kids in the classroom. Hopefully this book will spark class discussion about how to navigate life in the daily scramble we call family.

    Please be sure to visit my brand new school visit page (http://elizabethwinthrop.com/schoolguide.htm) to learn about my programs in classrooms and at conferences.

    I'm also really excited about COUNTING ON GRACE, my middle grade historical novel about a French Canadian girl working in a New England mill. But since it won't be available for a year, I'm going to wait a while to tell you more about that.

    I have three books scheduled for 2006 so stay tuned!

    More soon,

    Elizabeth Winthrop
