The next TwinTuesday is September 15, 2009! This TwinTuesday is sponsored by... Phina & Bella, the identical twin snowflakes in my children's book: "Two Snowflakes!" :-) Phina, Bella and I will actually be making our first public appearance on Friday, September 25th at the Baltimore Book Festival! If you happen to be in the area, please do stop by the Children's Authors' Tent and say hi! :-) We will be there all day... However, for those of you who can't make it, don't already have a copy and/or would just like to get a free one (:-p), this TwinTuesday I'll be giving away another free copy of "Two Snowflakes!" See below for how to enter! (If this is your first time celebrating TwinTuesday, click here for general info on TwinTuesday: what it is, how to play, etc.) The TwinTuesday "Question of the Week" is: Do you have other children and/or are you planning to have more children after having twins? I have two teenage stepchildren that have been living with us for the last few years... an 18-year old stepson and 16-year old stepdaughter. The twins, though, are my only children... so far, at least :-p As for more children of my own, I actually wrote a long post about this on my personal blog, so I won't go into it again, here... but, let's just say, I'll still on that fence... :-p What about you, though?
