New Book Released

Taking a little sidetrack from those crazy poodles. I'm working my writing talents in a new way with shorter stories.

This is my first book released apart from Brutus and Baby. This is a delightful adventure about a little spider and the adventures on his web.

All the little gray spider wants is some recognition for doing a job well done. With the advice of a pretty butterfly, little gray spider does remarkable things.

See how this spider and his new friend Butterfly save the house from those icky and pesky bugs.

Mothers and their role in my writing

I've known some amazing mothers in my life. Not just my own, but my mother-in-law and my grandmothers.

Each one has inspired some aspect of my writing.

• My mother inspired me to write about strength and bravery. I witnessed her strength and bravery many times as child.



• My mother-in-law inspired me to write about unchanging love, tolerance and peace. The 12 years I knew her while she graced this earth, I was blessed to witness her amazing character, her love and devotion to her family and her integrity.



• My paternal grandmother inspired me to write about my spiritual journey. God graced me with her for nearly 41 years. She laid the foundation to my spiritual journey when I was just a baby. I have never not known Jesus and I thank God for her in my life.



• My maternal grandmother inspired me to write my children's books. She not only gave me those two precious characters "Brutus and Baby", but she has also given me encouragement and support in all that I am.

I would be nothing without the influence, encouragement and love of these women.

Happy Mother's days to the some of the most amazing women I have ever known!

I Write - Therefore I Am

Ah...School is done for the semester. Now I have a two month break before I go at it again. What to do...what to do.

Well, I guess I will get back into my writing. Poetry - never left. But my children's books have been shelved for the past 4 months. I actually have 4 stories that need to be completed. Two months, plenty of time.

In another area of my writing. I have been struggling to put lyrics to my guitar songs. It's like I can write and I can play...I just can't put them together! Oh, how frustrating. But, I don't give up and I think I have one down. Just need some tweaking and we'll see if it is any good.

I guess 1 is a good start. And I guess I should not try so hard for perfection.
