WA IS WATER- Exploring WA in Poems, Photos and Facts

It’s that time of year for getting cozy on the couch with a good book and cup of tea. Currently, I have about three at my elbow. When you think about purchasing a book, please remember local, independent bookstores can order anything you want if they don’t already carry it. WA IS WATER is available to order through Indiebound, a great resource to help you shop locally. https://www.indiebound.org/book/9780998407616 #photoessay #IndependentBookstores #Indiebound #JenniferPresto

The Halloween Hunt

The Halloween Hunt is a devilish mashup of Tag, Hide and Seek and The Easter Egg Hunt. Instructions for playing The Halloween Hunt are included in my children’s book, THE FAIRY GOTHMOTHER: A Collection of Cautionary Tales (coming soon). I came up with the Hunt a few years ago when family had to leave a week before Halloween and we needed to party. In costume. With candy. Here’s a sample of what it’s like to play. I can’t wait to share this spookity fun game with the world—Bwh

Washington Poetic Routes Map

I’m excited to announce that my poem, Petrified, is included in the Washington Poetic Routes map, which was created by Claudia Castro Luna, our Washington State Poet Laureate (2018-2020).
