Get Ready!!!

Calbert: The Third-Grade Cowboy...Facing the Bully, will, hopefully, be ready to purchase by Monday!  That is if I don't find more typo's.  Wonder how many proof-readers and editors it takes to get it right, but would be a lot worse without all the proofing!! The book already came to me for last proof and I found several mistakes (I hope I got them all, this time).  I had to resubmit the interior and will hopefully have that back by tomorrow.  This is SO MUCH FUN!  I can't wait to start the next book!

Big News on Calbert!!

Had a wonderful experience with my critique.  She was full of wonderful information and suggestions for me as a newbie and I am very grateful for her assistance.   Her suggestions were right on the mark!  I since have made a few changes and Calbert: The Third-Grade Cowboy (her suggestion to make him older) is in the process of being printed as I write this post.  It will be available within the next week here!  And will hit Amazon soon after!  Sure hope I proof read everything well!!!

Filled with Excitement and Fear

I speak tonight with a professional editor who is critiquing Calbert: The Second-Grade Cowboy. I can hardly wait to hear what she has to say, but I am also worried about what she might have to say. =)  Wish me luck!

Lisa Head Tackles the Subject of School Bullying in her New Book


The story of Calbert, an average school boy and how he deals with Ernie, the certified school bully

 Calbert: The Second-Grade Cowboy written by Lisa Head tells the story of an average school boy named Calbert who is fond of playing a cowboy with his buddy Roland during the weekends but is afraid to go to school during weekdays because he always must find a way to face down Ernie, the certified school bully. Ernie makes life unbearable for Calbert in many ways, but he especially enjoys picking on him for being an adopted child. He always makes fun of Calbert for being adopted and says that neither Calbert’s birth mom nor his adoptive mom wanted him and his brothers.
