Back online…Well Kind Of

In case you didn’t notice, my website has been offline for a few months. HostGator and my domain provider finally helped me figure it out, but my website no longer looks as cute as it once did. Hopefully, I can find a way to get some of it back to normal as I play around with it.

Not a ton of writing going on lately, but I’ve been editing several great manuscripts, and am in the middle of formatting a book series for another author.

I am also eagerly anticipating the release of Clever Tom by 4RV Publishing.

Until next time, hope you have a blessed day!

Clever Tom Release Slated for Spring 2023

Announcing my fifth children’s book, Clever Tom, will be released by 4RV Publishing in Spring of 2023. Determined to avoid winding up as Thanksgiving dinner, Tom, the barnyard turkey, designs a new costume each day to dupe Farmer John into thinking he is one of the other animals. Little does he know, the joke is on him.

I will post more news as it becomes available.

A Christmas Kindness Virtual Book Tour Starts Nov 1!!!

The virtual book tour for A Christmas Kindness starts Monday, November 1. Here is more about the book:

BOOK BLURB:

Eight-year-old Robert is eager to share his wish list with Santa at the mall on Christmas Eve. When he meets Glenn, who only has one request for Santa, Robert is confused about what he should do. Can he cast aside what he wants and ask Santa to bring his new friend a special gift?

PRAISE

It is not often that a simple children’s book can nearly bring me to tears, but this one succeeded. There is nothing better than reading a story at Christmastime that reminds you that there are still good people and good kids in the world. This is one heartwarming Christmas story that you and your kids can read and enjoy. It will remind you of the true meaning of Christmas, and I believe that the author’s purpose is accomplished.

– Ruth, Amazon Reviewer

Robert can’t wait to see Santa. He’s got a pile of stuff he wants to ask for. Then he meets Glenn in line, and Robert himself gets to play Santa. I was touched by the main character’s transformation after he came in contact with someone in real need. The glow he walks away with can’t be bought, and he’ll never find it under the Christmas tree, but it’s the heart of the season that he’s found. Nicely illustrated, enjoyable story for readers of all ages.
