Easter Eggs
Let me tell you about Easter eggs. No, not the pretty decorated type we associate with bunnies and spring, but those found in books. Have you heard of them?
I recently learrned that most books contain hidden messages for close family and friends to find. A little something to make them smile and remember something or relate to the situation. So are there Easter eggs in my books? Yes, all of my books contain Easter eggs!
On Mystic Mountain has a character by the name of Yazzie. He is a racoon. A wise racoon that is a close pal to the Native American character, Sam. My sister loves racoons, so I put him there just for her! But his unique name also has meaning. Yazzie is the Navajo word meaning little or small. As a child, I had a dog named Yazzie, a tiny chihuahua. I grew up in Northern New Mexico, so I used this name because I knew it would have meaning for my friends there. And they found it and commented on the special Easter egg just for them!
On Mystic Island holds a few Easter eggs as well. Since the book is in its infancy, I won’t reveal them yet! I want my friends and family to find them first. Ask me later! Ms. Clara and the Amazing Apron has many Easter eggs! You may recognized the children’s names. Each one holds a special relationship to me or my illustrator. Even the pet’s names have meaning. So fun!
I hope you learned something new today about Easter eggs. Ask me in an email and I’ll reveal a few more to you. And once I have your email address, I can keep you updated on what is going on in my author world. Click the email link below to send me an email.
