July 31, 2024 ~ Lucy Ann Lance talks with Maura Dalian who has long aspired to publish children’s books, a dream she is now realizing with her third book in progress. Her daughters, Callie and Amy, assist with illustrations and promotion, respectively. Maura’s writing journey began in her 20s, inspired by her early experiences with playwriting at St. Francis. Her first book, “I’m All Right, Good Night,” follows a boy who struggles to sleep, creatively interacting with alphabet concepts. Illustrated by her daughter Kaylee, the book uses a collage style to blend reality and dreams.
