January 12, 2024– Tabatha is the author of More Wishes and joined our team in September of 2023. I remember speaking with her on the phone to get to know more about her and I can tell you that I was instantly enchanted by her amazing energy, warmth, and personality. She’s a ray of sunshine and she brings so much to our team at Pandamonium Publishing House! She’s just one of those people who brings so much love and passion to everything she does and you can see it in her books, her posts, and her events. Let’s get to know her a bit more:
Tabatha was previously published and has more books on the way! “Silent Sam” published by Lee and Low Books just hit the 20-years in publication mark! And “More Wishes” published by Pandamonium released in Sept 2023, “T’was The Morning Before Christmas Eve” (coming in 2024), “The Samwitch” (coming in 2025), and “More Magic” (also coming in 2025) all on the way from Pandamonium.
We asked Tabatha, what inspires you to write/create or how you came up with your specific idea for your book. “For me, I find inspiration in everyday circumstances, conversations, or memories. I believe in the magic of possibilities and making genuine connections. “More Wishes” was inspired by my grandmother and her love of dandelion wishes. (I still can’t pass a dandelion without making a wish!) My goal was to take the memories I had with my grandmother and create a book that will teach readers about the many ways we make wishes around the world.”
What do you like to do when you’re not writing? ” Well, if you are looking for cooking advice—I’m definitely not your girl (just ask my sisters)! My hobbies are eating chocolate and endless cups of coffee. My passions are, outside of spending time with my family, trolling old cemeteries, walks in the woods, and the beach. I’m obsessed with beautiful skies and especially love collecting rocks with my grandsons.” I love this so much!
What is your hope for 2024? “My hope for 2024 is to keep writing and encourage more kids to read. As an author it’s important for me to help kids foster a lifelong love for literacy. And of course, there’s nothing wrong with indulging in a little chocolate along the way! So, here’s to a 2024 full of great stories, inspired readers, and plenty of chocolate!”
THIS is exactly why we do what we do! Tabatha’s love for literacy makes her a perfect fit for our team. We’re so glad she’s here!
