I am Kata Mester. I make pictures.
I illustrated a picture book: Mindjárt éjfél (Almost midnight)- writen by Adam Timar, and wrote and illustrated a puzzle book : Okos ceruza (Smart pencil)
Oh, how wonderful to have a crimespace friend - if you accept - in Hungary- Greetings from New Orelans -
My book, The Beatitudes, is a paranormal thriller set in New Orleans. It will be out in the fall and I am donating all royalties directly to the New Orleans Public Library Foundation. Libraries support the infrastructure of a great city, so I have started The Beatitudes Network to promote awareness of the importance of public libraries in NOLA.
The blogsite www.beatitudesinneworleans.blogspot.com describes the Network, has excerpts from The Beatitudes, recipes, and more. Merci mille fois. Lyn Lejeune.
Writers, please pass the word…..it’s for a good cause….don’t let the libraries of New Orleans or the US go the way of The Great Library of Alexandria. P.S. just posted an excerpt on my Crimespace page.
We made a writting competition for kids.
The children wrote tales. I illustrated them. I put some of them to my site (only the pictures):

Welcome Kata. How did you come to illustrate children's books. I find it difficult to find the correct words to say what my characters need to say. It must be fun and challenging to tell the story in pictures.
FYI, the actual crimesolver in my three completed novels is an elderly Magyar who escaped from the Nazis during WWII. (Fortunately I didn't have to depict the escape, because I'm really just a country boy who's never been anywhere.)
