Earlier this fall, I got a note from the good folk at Teachingbooks.net.
They have this web site of about 20 zillion cool and important resources.
One of them is a Name Pronunciation hub, so teachers and librarians and students can get to know an author or illustrator just a little bit better (and without fear of faux pas and a badly-mangled surname.)
Anyway, they requested that I call in and give a little blurb on my name, which is not inordinately tricky but what the heck?
So here’s mine, if you’d like to give it a listen.
And here’s the list of others.
Peruse at your own risk.
It’s kind of addictive.
How fun! I use that site from time-to-time when I’m thinking ahead. I’ve found an astonishing number of authors’ names I’ve been mispronouncing for years this way.
