Barbara Miller

Hello, I’m Barbara Miller, the author, self-publisher and creator behind the Lily Lemon Blossom children’s picture book series. I love writing children's books. Little ones have such a vast and vivid imagination, and often spend a lot of time playing in their imaginary world. Through the adventures of Lily Lemon Blossom, I get to show them a glimpse into the life of a little girl who lives in their imaginary world with them. And whose imagination is as flourishing as their own.

Barbara Miller's debut book, Lily Lemon Blossom “Welcome to Lily’s Room" begins the adventures of a fun-loving little 5 year old girl with a big heart. 'I’ve enjoyed creating such a wonderful character. Lily Lemon Blossom is such positive little person. A happy little

Sally Huss

For years I have wanted to do what I am doing now -- writing and illustrating my children's books. Electronic drawing pads and e-books have made it possible for me to create and publish my own books -- and do so in quantity. In the past, Harcourt Brace, Ten Speed Press, Thomas Nelson had only published a few.

The books were always squeezed in between art I needed to do to fill 26 Sally Huss Galleries (my degree was from USC in Fine Art); and licensing demands for clothing, greeting cards (American Greetings), purses, bibs, dinnerware, wallpaper; and the daily King Features Syndicated inspirational panel I do for newspapers called Happy Musings.

Beatrix Potter

Helen Beatrix Potter was an English author, illustrator, mycologist, and conservationist who is best known for her children's books, which featured animal characters such as Peter Rabbit.

Born into a wealthy household, Potter was educated by governesses and grew up isolated from other children. She had numerous pets, and through holidays in Scotland and the Lake District, developed a love of landscape, flora, and fauna, all of which she closely observed and painted. Because she was a woman, her parents discouraged intellectual development, but her study and paintings of fungi led her to be widely respected in the field of mycology.

In her thirties, Potter published the highly successful children's book The Tale of Peter Rabbit and became secr

Finally she caved into fate and wrote Snow and Rx under the name Tracy Lynn, followed by The Nine Lives of Chloe King series under her real name, because by then the assassins hunting her were all dead.
