“My dear friend Connie coined the term “the kitchen sink promise” based on our conversations about many of the ideas for my writing coming from time spent washing dishes. Connie encouraged me to consider using this aphorism in the creation of my brand as a children’s book author. Connie graciously created an original watercolor piece in what she called urban sketch style to capture the concept. In her honor, I have adopted this piece as the official logo of Kitchen Sink Author!”
