Artist Kathy Cano-Murillo, who runs art and craft website CraftyChica, has penned a novel that's due for release next year. Kathy has written a variety of craft books, including Crafty Chica's Guide to Artful Sewing and The Crafry Diva's DIY Style Book, and now she's turned to fiction! Waking Up in the Land of Glitter will be available in March 2010. Here's some more information...Struggling domestic-goddess-in-training Ofy is determined to turn heads at this year's International CraftOlympics. To do that, she'll need the help of her best friend, Star. Considering herself a serious artist, Star is hesitant, but finally agrees to help as a way to end her own creative slump. Truthfully she thinks Ofy is a little loca about the whole craft thing - and about her idol: Local TV personality, Crafty Chloe. Star doesn't trust the bottle-blonde, even after she becomes part of their crafting team. As the competition heats up, Star will learn Chloe's dirty little secret, why crafting means so much to Ofy, and that beauty, art, and creativity can take many more forms than a canvas hanging in a gallery.
