Margarit’s Companion by Donna Hughes:

Donna Hughes (k.m.bullock)

     I’ve written and illustrated children’s materials for over twenty years, publishing five original picture books with Simon & Schuster, and   illustrating many books for other authors. I currently work for an educational publisher where I’ve illustrated well over 100 books. I’ve just finished writing my first juvenile historical novel, and a juvenile fantasy is in the works. My year as a Muser at The MuseItUp Club has been enormously enjoyable because of the wonderful people I’ve met online and the opportunity afforded to learn from other writers. I especially appreciate the chance to dig deep and write for adults once in a while.
