Advertising copywriter turned author and illustrator! I have a Little Ant children's series and am now working on a coming-of-age thriller novel for adults.

Sometimes you need to hit the pause button! I've been so focused on landing an agent for my novel, I forgot to have fun along the way. Check it out. My new hobby of watercolor painting - just what I needed to reset. And it's super fun! #watercolorpainting #AuthorsOfTwitter #art

Great news! A literary agent asked to read my full manuscript. Now, we wait. And keep writing and dreaming of being a New York Times bestseller!😊 #newbook #comingofage #Thriller #fiction #novel #AuthorsOfTwitter #writersoftwitter #writing #writingcommunity #writerslift

I just read a few pages of my new book to my 8-year-old son. (It's a horror story about a monster trying to kill me.) He said it's the best book I ever wrote, better than the little ant. Ha! I guess I got my first review. 🤣 #Novel #NewBook #MONSTERS #Review

[Ilene Dudek @IleneDudek]

@RichGriese Yes, of course! 🤣

[Ilene Dudek @IleneDudek]

Big News! I am writing my next book! Even bigger news - it's a horror-fiction novel! 😊 Wish me luck! And stay tuned... #Authors #horror #fiction #NewBook #goodtimes
