Exciting Time

Things are moving right along.  I had my first "Author" interview today.  Donated one of my books to the public library and will soon be setting up a book-signing with them.  Feel like I need to pinch myself, this can't be really happening!  This is Great!

Calbert!?

Both of my two oldest boys think they are Calbert.  I decided they could be anyone they wanted to be in the story, because that is the point of a story anyway.  A good story gets the reader involved.  However, my second-grade son greeted me in the car with, "Why did you write that part, it made me cry."  I asked him what part of the book he was talking about.  He was talking about the "Trouble on the Bus" chapter, where Ernie is picking on Calbert about being adopted.  As he continued to read he found himself enjoying the book even more.  Happy reading to my little guy!

Perfect gift for those second and third-graders on your list!  Calbert and Ernie have to put away their feelings about each other and work together in order to survive a deadly situation.  Will they manage?

I'm Back

Been a long haul, the past few days, for this indie writer.  I have been working for several days to upload corrections.  No luck until today.  I had to make adjustments to the bottom margin, I hope that helps.  For some reason what showed on my computer wasn't what would show up on the review.  Can't wait to see if this version turns out the way it is intended to look.  Nervous Nelly here for a few days.

Bullying

What is a young boy to do when he is being bullied at school and is afraid to tell anyone?  Adoption is a tough step for a child anyway, but when he starts to be bullied because of it the damage is deep.
