Meet artist Christina Knightley, take a look at her book, and learn about her journey as an artist. Visit her website at CMCartillustrations.com.

What's It Like To Be A Narrator?
Long hours, low pay … to start, but still an exciting, creative career field. Watch the interview below to find out how Abigail VanTerry narrated her first book, Emeline - A Journey, from her tiny home studio. I was so pleased and impressed with her performance. She put MUCH more into it than just reading: changes in pitch, speed, inflections, accents, etc. It’s really a fun listen and is available through my website and everywhere audiobooks are sold. (One lucky subscriber to my blog will win a free audiobook this month!)
Claudia Gadotti ~ Artist/Illustrator
Even though I painted the illustrations with Mark Baral’s character design in my early reader chapter books, Bandana Acres, I wanted a different look for my first middle-grade novel, Emeline ~ A Journey, which is scheduled to come out November 1, 2020.
