Hi ! Welcome to my site!
Whoever coined the phrase “Time Flies” was certainly on the money with that one!
I’m MARGE MONAGHAN, now in year 8 of my retirement (yikes, has it really been that long?), still enjoying my time doing the creative things I love without the pressures of work and time.
I’ve been working on a few more books – stories have been completed, illustrations, however, are still works in progress. Whenever I get stuck and need to step away to regroup I have a pretty strong reading habit, but that tends to send me down a rabbit hole of sorts – I can read, read, read and be quite happy. I have to remember to set aside the books and get back to drawing.
I had so much fun coming up with the stories and have created a few of the characters, but still have a bit of work to do. The first five books just seemed to flow so smoothly – see the ebook and softcover versions ready for sale on Blurb.
I still love working on the the iPad — and continue to spend time watching a ton of ‘how to’ Procreate videos to find new techniques to incorporate. There is so much to learn, but between Youtube, Procreate, Skillshare and Pinterest they have a lot to offer.
I am very much a newbie to the world of children’s books – as the author and illustrator, but I do love the stories and characters. I think children will enjoy them as well. My latest book (almost finished) has a cute female character and I can’t wait for you to get to know her… meet Lizzie:
