MORE AUTHORS AND ARTISTS (New Balkin Buddies...)
Since Balkin Buddies began in 2004, we have grown to include a large number of authors and artists to our list. Unfortunately, we could not accommodate subsequent authors and artists that we wanedt to add in the same manner as our initial list. All the same, we did want to include them as Balkin Buddies.
Therefore, we decided to provide you with links to their websites. Should you wish to contact any of them, just go to the link provided. Authors are provided first in alphabetical order, followed by illustrators. Those who both write and illustrate books are shown under illustrators.
From time to time, other authors and artists we feel are appropriate will be added to this page. Should you have any questions or comments, or would like to share your experiences with any of the authors and artists we represent, please contact Catherine at telephone 727-378-4191 or email her through this website. We are very interested in hearing your comments on all of our authors' and artists' books and programs, so please don't hesitate to contact us.
