My name is Annika and I live with my husband and our daughters in Tucson, Arizona. I am a newly published Children’s Book Author and I not only wrote the rhyming picture book “When Santa Met a Unicorn,” but created the illustrations and self published as well. I have to admit the process has not gone without a hitch, and there are countless hours in the project that I could have saved if only I had started out with the knowledge that I have now. The learning curve has been extremely steep and without the support of my husband and our girls I would not have reached this point. Has the Book reached the potential that I aspired for? Unfortunately not. In the world of illustration, there are differences when it comes to designing for online viewing or printing and somewhere along the way my colors have changed from their original design. Regardless, I have come to accept and love the change now however, as it will forever be my first published book. So if you would like to read about what happened when Santa me a Unicorn, check out my Books on my website.

I have a lot more projects in the works too. I write for our girls and the wish to publish came upon the request of our Bella who loves to read.

So follow me on my not always so easy journey as an author, illustrator, and self publisher, and enjoy the children’s short stories that I will post in my blog.
