With my first in-person author event at the Milford Public Library fast approaching, I have another exciting announcement about my books (that’s right, I said books, plural!). My picture book app “The Bedtime Knight” has a cover and a release date set for early November from MeeGenius!
With a little help from Daddy Knight, a young child learns how to turn the scary shadows of the night into fun imaginings.
The talented Erika Baird illustrated “The Bedtime Knight.” She came up with a super-creative idea that showcases the story with a dual narrative going on in the illustrations. Curious to know more about what I mean? Well…then you’ll have to go buy the book when it comes out!
Also, did I mention my first author event is coming up October 13th at 2:00 at the Milford Public Library? Local papers the Milford Mirror and the Milford Patch have all you need to know about meeting me, Katie L. Carroll, in person!
Congratulations, Katie!!! on both the app,which is adorable looking and the book signing. I will try to get there if I can:)
Thanks, Barbara! I do love the cover, and I hope to see you at the signing!
Congratulations! What a sweet cover. 🙂
Hi, Ann! It is a sweet cover, just the right mood for the book.
I love it too! It’s sooo cute. Congratulations!
Yay! Thanks, Suzanne.
Love the cover–it’s too cute!! Can’t wait to read it to my nieces and nephews 🙂 And I wish I lived closer so I could go see ya at the library!
The cover is adorable! Hopefully our paths will cross someday…when we’re both rich and famous authors, gallivanting around the country on book tours. 🙂
Mousies! Add me to list of “That looks super-cute!” So, this is a short book for little kids? I clicked the publisher link and went straight to the ones about arctic foxes and beavers, natch.
So, how did you come up with this? Decided you wanted to tell a specific kids story, then looked for an illustrator to collaborate with? Did you record your voice or does that guy narrate all of them?
Thanks, Shell (I hope the crunch wasn’t too painful!). “The Bedtime Knight” is a short picture book for little kids. It was something I had written and was just sitting on my computer for a long time.
Then I decided to send it to a contest (which I didn’t win), and ended up getting an offer to have it published. I had nothing to do with selecting the illustrator (and I didn’t submit any illustrations myself, as they would have been terrible) or narrator. Those parts are all on the publisher.
Three cheers for the cover— Can you hear me from over there? One more time— hip-hip-hooray!
Doing a little dance over here, Mirka!
What a cute cover, I love it! Congratulations Katie.

Thanks, Sara!
