I'm observing the discourse in this year's presidential election. For every false stab, I'm taking a positive action to aid children. Bullies and their backers can't win! I'm participating in an adult spelling bee to raise funds for a playground at a Milwaukee elementary school.

I’m fast approaching two months passing since my week-long writers and illustrators retreat in Gibraltar, on Spain’s south coast.
The week in Gibraltar with co-founders Sarah Odedina and Eleanor Dobbs was a revelatory point in my creative journey. More at lorahylercreative.com

Reflecting on my author journey. Among my highlights: meeting Susan Straub, wife of late Peter Straub. Susan and her daughter, Emma were on the Today Show with their new picture book. I had lunch with Susan a few years back when she visited Milwaukee.

I began my public relations company, Hyler Communications in April 2001. I re-tooled several years ago to focus solely on promoting my books. It's been a great journey! Thanks to everyone cheering and buying books.

Once every four years, we get an extra day of Black History Month! I’ll use it to spotlight Phillis Wheatley, the first enslaved African American woman to have a book of poems published. The @librarycongress has a first edition!

The Hulk came to my house. He was a bit shorter. I thought it was a Ninja Turtle. The kid set me straight.

Lacking. Scholastic, please reflect a bit harder. The reputation and financial pain inflicted on various authors is immeasurable.

More carbon than expected and an abundance of water were found in the 4.5-billion-year-old asteroid sample returned to Earth by #OSIRISREx. The two combined could mean that the building blocks for life on Earth might be locked in these rocks: go.nasa.gov/45sL5TQ

I’m reflecting and appreciating more and more, my second artist residency at L’Expressoir in Marnay-sur-Seine, France.
The supportive artist community led to meeting folks originally from all over. France. Germany. New Zealand. Poland. Mexico. And various parts of the US.
