Prolific Pulse Press LLC is proud to welcome award-winning Ohio author Ellen Kolman’s latest book to our collection.

Meet Ellen Kolman

Ellen Kolman has spent more than 35 years teaching and entertaining children in church and Christian school classrooms. Few authors know young readers as well as she does.

Her stories grow directly out of that work. Her students inspire tales about kindness, forgiveness, empathy, and friendship, the values she has nurtured in classrooms for decades. The result is books that delight children and give parents and teachers natural openings for meaningful conversations.

Ellen’s work has already earned recognition. Her picture book Crabby Abby the Decorator Crab’s Big Heart is an Ella’s Way award winner for promoting kindness through children’s literature, and a Children’s Book International finalist.

While we are featuring books published by Prolific Pulse Press LLC, you can find all of Ellen’s books here:

The Search for a Star: A Crabby Abby Christmas Illustrated by Kaelen Felix Crabby Abby returns for a holiday adventure beneath the moonlit sea. Just in time for the Christmas season, it makes a heartwarming gift for families, classrooms, and Sunday schools.

It’s Christmas Eve in Ruby Reef, and no one under the sea is more excited than Crabby Abby the Decorator Crab. Covered from claw to shell in bows, baubles, and sparkly trinkets, Abby looks like a walking Christmas boutique!
The whole reef has gathered for the town tree-lighting ceremony when Daniel the Lionfish notices something is missing: there’s no star at the top of the tree. Daniel reminds everyone why the star matters so much. It was a star that led the wise men to Bethlehem to worship the baby Jesus.

With the lights waiting and Christmas almost here, Crabby Abby, Daniel, and their friend Lavender Urchin set off on an undersea quest to find a star. Along the way, they hear someone crying, and the friends stop to offer help and loving kindness to a sea creature in need. Could their new friend be exactly what they’ve been searching for? Will sharing God’s love turn out to be the truest blessing of Christmas?

Warm-hearted and full of ocean charm, The Search for a Star: A Crabby Abby Christmas is a faith-filled picture book for children ages 4 to 8. It celebrates the true meaning of Christmas and the story of Jesus’s birth, along with the joy of friendship, teamwork, and kindness. It’s a perfect Christmas Eve read-aloud, Advent story time, Sunday school lesson, or stocking stuffer for young ocean lovers.

Every Reader Starts Somewhere

Every leader, teacher, and professional was once a child learning to read.

Before the degrees, the job titles, and the quarterly goals, there was a picture book. Someone sat beside us, turned the pages, and showed us that words open doors.

That is why we believe children’s books deserve a place in every serious conversation about education, careers, and community. Early reading builds the communication and critical-thinking skills every workplace depends on. Stories teach empathy and perspective long before any leadership training does. And for educators, librarians, and therapists, books are essential tools of the profession.

Why We Publish Children’s Books

Creating a children’s book is real professional work. Behind every title are months of writing, editing, illustration, design, production, and marketing. At Prolific Pulse Press, producing books like Ellen’s is some of the most meaningful work we do.

These books are made for the people who put stories to work every day: parents and grandparents reading at bedtime, teachers building literacy in the classroom, librarians, and children’s ministry leaders. The young readers they reach today will be the colleagues, founders, and leaders of tomorrow.

Please join us in congratulating Ellen Kolman. Pick up a copy for the children in your life, share this post with an educator who would love these books, and tell us in the comments: what book from your childhood still stays with you?

Indelible Ink: Jennifer Gurney’s Postcard Poems and Paintings Arrive October 30

Lisa Tomey-Zonneveld
Three colorful postcards featuring abstract artwork, alongside a book cover titled 'Indelible Ink' by Jennifer Gurney, which includes the subtitle 'Postcard Poems and Paintings from the 2025 Postcard Poetry Fest'.

Prologue to summer, epilogue to summer, and every sun-soaked day in between: Prolific Pulse Press is thrilled to announce the release of Indelible Ink: Postcard Poems and Paintings from the 2025 Postcard Poetry Fest by Colorado poet and painter Jennifer Gurney, available October 30, 2026.

Thirty Postcards, Thirty Poems, Two Days

Every August, writers around the world sign up for the Postcard Poetry Fest. Each receives a list of names and addresses, and through the month they write a poem on the back of a postcard and mail it to a stranger, while poems from fellow poets arrive in their own mailbox.

Jennifer didn’t just write her postcards. She painted them. In a single day at her kitchen table, with music playing, coffee within reach and her curious cat keeping watch, she painted all thirty cards. The next day she wrote all thirty poems. Every poem in Indelible Ink is a true first draft, sent out into the world unrevised, paired with the bold, layered abstract painting it traveled on.

The result is a book of summer: watermelon, fireflies, thunderstorms, and a teacher’s wish that August would slow down just a little.

A Gift Economy in Book Form

What makes the Postcard Poetry Fest special, Jennifer says, is that someone writes a poem just for you, and you write one just for them. She calls the festival the epitome of authenticity and generosity. Indelible Ink honors that community of poets and brings its spirit to readers everywhere.

The vibrant cover painting is Jennifer’s own favorite from the collection, and, like the covers of all 16 of her poetry books, it comes from her brush.

Read the Interview

Want the story behind the book? In our new interview, Jennifer talks about painting thirty postcards in a day, the German and Irish voices in her head that argue over revisions, her Art Heals project after the Marshall Fire, what her fourth graders thought of the poems, and her advice for anyone nervous about sharing a first draft.

Interview: Jennifer Gurney, author of “Indelible Ink: Postcard Poems and Paintings from the 2025 Postcard Poetry Fest”

Lisa Tomey-Zonneveld

I recently interviewed Jennifer Gurney, author of Indelible Ink: Postcard Poems and Paintings from the 2025 Postcard Poetry Fest. Let’s have a fun read!

The Fest and the Process

1. For readers who’ve never heard of it, what is the Postcard Poetry Fest, and how did you first get involved?

  The Postcard Poetry Fest is an annual experience. Writers from around the world register for it and we each receive 31 names and addresses. During the month of August, we write a poem on the back of a postcard and mail it to a person on our list. In return, we receive poems and postcards from our group. As a writer and painter, both, I enjoy painting my postcards as well as writing the poems. It is a joy to connect with others from around the country, and in some cases, the world. Occasionally, we write a second or third postcard to someone we connect with. I stumbled upon this incredible opportunity on Facebook one summer and am hooked. I cannot imagine an August without it.    

2. You painted all thirty postcards in one day and wrote all thirty poems the next. Why do it that way instead of one card a day?

Sometimes I set a challenge for myself to see what happens. This year I loved the flow of painting the cards on the same day and then writing the poems the next day. Last summer I completed a 24-hour poetry marathon that I loved. Sometimes less is more. And sometimes more is more. This was one of those times. Getting into the flow of painting and writing can sometimes take some doing. Once there, there is a beauty to the state of creativity. I love the shimmery feeling of hanging in the balance between real life and creativity.  

3. What does a day of painting thirty postcards actually look like? Music, snacks, a mess on the table?

What a great question. I have a home studio where I typically paint. It is a spare room on the second floor. But for this excursion, I set up on my kitchen table where I could look outside to the patio, be near my Bose for great tunes and close to the kitchen for snacks and coffee. My cat was curious as to what the heck I was up to and hung close that day, keeping me company.  

4. When you sat down to write, did the painting lead the poem, or did you sometimes ignore the image entirely?

I tend to look at the name of the person I´m writing to (and for) and their address. Sometimes their name gives me a spark and other times knowing where they live is the inspiration. When those fail, I look at the image on the postcard to see what floats to the surface. Other times, something comes to my mind entirely unrelated. And I go with it.  

5. Every poem in this book is a true first draft. Was it hard to let them go out into the world unrevised?

That is a very astute question. As a Virgo, I tend to want things to be in order. Tidy. Accurate. But as a creative type, I am getting better at going with the flow. I am also half German and half Irish, several generations ago. I truly think they form the voices in my head. The German side says get to work. The Irish side says take a break. I laugh when I hear them dickering. So the creative and Irish side of my brain had to take over with the whole first-draft-letting-go business. Luckily it worked. I was tempted several times to fix things, but in the end first draft-ness prevailed.  

6. Was there a card you wanted back the moment it hit the mailbox? Why?

Wow, I had never thought about that. Honestly, no. When I write and paint for others, it is truly theirs from the get-go. Reminds me of a powerful experience a few years ago. Our part of Colorado experienced a horrible fire called the Marshall Fire. Over 1,000 families lost their homes. The elementary school where I teach was hit hardest. Fifty-five families lost their homes. After searching for a way to help, I landed on a project I headed called Art Heals. I pulled paintings I had made together, collected art supplies to donate and hosted 10 events for people to come get free supplies, art and make art there. After I ran out of my own paintings, I painted daily, voraciously, for the Marshall Fire Families. In about six months I gave out 800 paintings to help cover the walls of temporary housing these families were then living in. Hearing their stories at the events, painting beside the children and giving away my art was one of the most poignant experiences of my life.  

The Art

7. Your paintings are bold, layered abstracts. How do you decide when a piece that small is finished?

My sense of completion is changing and evolving over time. The past eight months, I have been working on a series of pieces called Pushing the Limits. I asked myself: what would happen if I keep going after when I normally would have stopped? The results have been transformative. I couldn´t love a painting of my own any more than this series. And I never would have produced these paintings if I hadn´t asked the question. I am finding a new normal of when to stop and when to proceed. It is a fascinating process. I´m nowhere near finished with answering this question.  

8. Tell us about the cover painting. Why did that one get to be the face of the book?

The vibrancy and fluidity of the cover painting stood out to me. I especially love certain color combinations, and this piece had several of them. But to be completely honest, it is my favorite painting in this collection. So it gets the prized position of cover. Don´t we all put our favorite in the best spot available?  

9. You’ve painted the covers for all your poetry books. How do painting and writing feed each other for you?

There is a different kind of energy required for me to paint. I paint nearly every day, some days longer than others. Painting is a way to express my feelings and thoughts in a wordless format. There is a deep, physical element of painting for me. I love to paint big, sometimes 3×4 feet on stretched canvas, sometimes larger on flat canvas. I use music to help create the flow and I try not to look at a clock or my phone when painting so I can stay in that suspended state of flow.   When I am adding layers to a former painting, or sitting to work on small studies, it takes less energy. But still takes energy.   When I am writing, it is a way to communicate what is on my head, heart and soul in word form. I often write haiku-ish poems, which are only three lines. I also write prose poems which can be pages in length. There is less physical energy required for me to write, but still mental and emotional energy that is needed. I write almost every day. Sometimes to a prompt and other times whatever is on my heart. One of my favorite places to write is in nature, on the shore of my favorite lake. I also write on the back of envelopes at a red light. Poems come at all times of day and night and in every place imaginable. When I have something to capture them, they stay.   I love having time to paint and write. What I love more than that is having the time to paint and write while I also have the energy to do so. Since I teach elementary school full-time and am very involved with other pursuits, the time does not always coincide with the energy. When they do, it is bliss.  

The Poems

10. Reviewers have called this a book of summer: watermelon, fireflies, thunderstorms. Did you set out to write about the season, or did it just show up?

I think I write mostly about the life that I am living while I am living it. So it makes sense that during the summer, the poems would come out watermelon, fireflies and thunderstorms.  

11. One poem pleads, “Summer, slow down.” What were you hoping to hold on to?

As a teacher, the summer goes all too quickly. When the calendar turns to August, I tend to get nostalgic that summer is nearly over. Don´t get me wrong. I love teaching and I love my students. But summer is my absolute favorite summer of all. So that one was just noticing that I was not done summering yet. (I´m still not and it´s October!)  

12. Is there a poem in the collection that surprised you when you reread it later?

I think it has surprised me the most to hear what others have to say about my poems. This is the first time I have had others review my book. It has been delightful to hear what they find enjoyable. I also shared a few poems with my fourth-grade class on the day my advance copy arrived. Hearing their giggles and questions added a nice depth to how I view the poems. (They loved the ¨boyfriend¨ one!)  

The Community

13. What was it like to open your mailbox every day and find postcards from strangers?

It was so cool! Every summer when the first one arrives, it is a sharp intake-of-breath moment.  

14. Do you remember a card you received that stuck with you? Tell us about it, please.

My first card that referenced my poem I had sent them felt like connection.  

15. Postcard poetry is very much a gift economy. What does it give you that publishing in journals doesn’t?

The fact that someone else wrote a poem just for me, and I just for them, is unique. In a world that values AI, plastic surgery and one-up-manship, this festival is the epitome of authenticity and generosity. It lifts my soul.  

The Bigger Picture

16. With nearly 3,500 poems published, how does a project built on speed and no revision fit into your practice?

It is a once-a-year experience that I look forward to. To send my poems into the world and find poems in my mailbox is a gift.  

17. What would you say to a reader who wants to try the Fest but is scared of sharing first drafts?

There is nothing to be afraid of. You have a poem on your heart right now. Just write it down on the back of a postcard. And add a stamp and mail it. Then do it again each day for a month. And you will find your voice in setting your poems free.  

18. Why turn this exchange into a book? What did you want readers to take away from it?

I love this collection of short poems and small paintings. And I love this Postcard Poetry Fest. Pulling them together into a book is a way of honoring this community of poets and bringing a taste of summer into the world in book form.  

19. Where can readers find you and Indelible Ink online?

I am hoping to have a website at some point in the future. For now, you can find Indelible Ink and my other books on Amazon and Barnes and Noble. If you search ¨Jennifer Gurney poetry¨ or ¨Jennifer Gurney art¨ you can find other examples. I have a small Etsy site that is Jennifer Gurney Art. And my Insta is @pelican6527.

It’s Here! The Search for a Star: A Crabby Abby Christmas Is Ready for You!

Lisa Tomey-Zonneveld

A Christmas Eve Problem in Ruby Reef

The Search for a Star: A Crabby Abby Christmas by Ellen Kolman, illustrated by Kaelen Felix, is out today from Prolific Pulse Press.

It’s Christmas Eve in Ruby Reef. The ornaments are hung, the ribbons are wrapped, and the whole town is ready to celebrate. There’s just one problem: the town tree has no star.

If you’ve ever stood back to admire a Christmas tree and felt that something was missing, you already know how big a problem that is. And if you know Crabby Abby, you know she won’t sit still while it goes unsolved.

An Undersea Quest

Crabby Abby, the decorator crab who first won readers over in Crabby Abby the Decorator Crab’s Big Heart, sets off with her friends Daniel and Lavender to find a star for the tree before Christmas morning.

Their search takes them across the reef, past swaying kelp forests and glowing coral, under a bright Christmas Eve moon. Along the way, young readers will find plenty to point at, laugh about, and talk over together.

We won’t spoil where the search leads. But we will say that the star they find may not be the one anyone expected.

The Light That Shines Brightest

At its heart, this is a story about what really makes Christmas shine. As Abby, Daniel and Lavender search the reef, they discover that kindness and God’s love shine brightest of all.

That message is woven into an adventure, not tacked on at the end. Children experience it through the friends’ choices along the way, which makes it easy to talk about afterward: Who was kind? How did it help? Where do we see God’s love at Christmas?

Announcing! Red Threads and Silver Linings by Adele Evershed is Now Available

Lisa Tomey-Zonneveld
Cover of a haiku collection titled 'Red Threads and Silver Linings' by Adele Evershed, featuring a sketched illustration of a woman.

Celebrate today as the new release of Red Threads and Silver Linings, A Woman’s Life in Haiku, One Bloody Drop at a Time!

Red Threads and Silver Linings is a haiku exploration of the female lifecycle, tracing womanhood through the intimate terrain of the body. Inspired partly by Jaques’ “All the world’s a stage” speech in As You Like It, Evershed moves through menarche, puberty, menstruation, fertility, conception, miscarriage, pregnancy, childbirth, postpartum life, motherhood, menopause, and aging. Her short-form poetry illuminates the quiet power, vulnerability, and resilience held within the body’s cycles.

The collection catalogues the blood that marks each stage of women’s biological lives – periods, miscarriages, birthing blood – threading these experiences to seasonal change, the moon’s rhythm, and nature’s wider cycles. The “red threads” are crimson tides, blossoming flowers, the blood moon: metaphors for menarche’s first shock, miscarriage’s sadness, labor’s endurance, and postpartum’s complexity. The “silver linings” gather later pleasures – reblooming azaleas, HRT’s sticky petals, a bruised peach scented with second chances. Grief and loss coexist here with endurance, humor, desire, and deepening self-knowledge.

Organized into sections like It’s Just a Period She’s Going Through, Childbirth and Other Horrors, and An Old Wife’s Tale, the book blends the personal with the mythical, the natural world with the biological. Daughters and mothers share pages with ghosts of earlier selves and ancestral echoes. Through haiku’s precision, the result is a map of womanhood both grounded and lyrical.

At once meditation and celebration, the collection offers poems that are tender, raw, and unflinchingly honest – honoring the shifting landscape of a woman’s life from girlhood’s first flush to menopause’s soft letting-go, and the humanity found in every bleed, every change, every reckoning of living in a woman’s body.
