Fern Brady wrote Smiley Face Blatoon under the pseudonym Lady Nefari Ydarb. It won the 2016 First Place Children’s Picture Book All Ages award from the Texas Association Of Authors.

I saw her at the Comicpalooza 2016 Houston event Friday, June 17. You can watch her introduce her book here: http://youtu.be/3LN9bsi2c2w

She and her husband, Mike, will be at George R. Brown all weekend, so if you are there go by the Houston Writers Guild booth and say hello.
