Meet Yoo Hoo, a charming dragon with an appetite for adventure—and pizza! Unlike other dragons who live in caves or hoard treasures, Yoo Hoo prefers the comforts of his castle’s kitchen, where he whips up his favorite meal, pizza, alongside his trust
Hi! I'm Deb Hockenberry. I have always wanted to write for children since I was a child myself! I've just had a picture book published and have been published several times on the internet. I currently am working on several things including a middle grade book, and a young adult book.
Background
Information
I really don't know what got me into storytelling or writing. I remember telling the neighborhood children along with my siblings stories when I was a child.
I had been trying to get published for years. Then I read 'Harry Potter and The Chamber of Secrets'. I noticed how J.K. Rowling brought her characters to life through description. So, I studied her...not to plaigerize but just to learn. It was then I started getting published.
Accomplishments
I have taken two courses from the Institute of Children's Literature and am a member of the CBI Clubhouse, an ongoing, online course to keep up with the ever-changing world of children's literature. I've also won first honorable mention in the Jory Sherman Short Story Awards.
