Did You Know...

Thought of the Day
Where are the positive aspects of life? I'll tell you where they are at! They are all around you. Just open your eyes and unplug your ears. Filter out the pessimistic 'doom and gloom' that surrounds us each day. Enjoy the love and positive wonders that we so often overlook each day.
What am I doing at this very moment? I am sitting by my window looking at the evening sky on a light blue background interspersed with dark purple clouds highlighted by the rays of the sun. I look forward to tomorrow to the wonders that will unfold for me.
Will there be a pessimistic naysayer that tries to put my thoughts down... of course, but it won't matter. I am strong in my beliefs and know that my optimism is what leads to good and wonderful things... life is a choice! I just chose to see it through my lens.

SECRETS  Sshh, can you keep a secret? Should you keep a secret? Life in Tiny continues to be full of adventures for the Cow Pie Gang and the Fair November brings the whole town to life. The trials and tribulations of tween life continues with first dates and first break ups. When Kati uncovers a huge secret, she is torn and doesn't know if she should tell or not. After a week of turmoil and soul searching she finds out that some secrets aren't meant to be kept while other secrets reveal delightful surprises. 5.0 out of 5 stars   Wonderful series Reviewed in the United States on January 25, 2018 Love the characters in this series. They are strong, true to life middle schoolers growing up in a small town. The adults in their lives are hands on without being too intrusive. I really like how the author portrays the thought processes the kids go through trying to understand their own issues and those of the people around them.

Where Are You From?

The cowboy lay sprawled across three entire seats in the posh Amarillo theater. When the usher came by and noticed this he whispered to the cowboy, "Sorry, sir, but you're only allowed one seat." The cowboy groaned but didn't budge. The usher became more impatient. "Sir, if you don't get up from there, I'm going to have to call the manager. The cowboy just groaned. The usher marched briskly back up the aisle. In a moment he returned with the manager. Together the two of them tried repeatedly to move the cowboy, but with no success. Finally, they summoned the police. The cop surveyed the situation briefly then asked, "All right buddy, what's your name?" "Sam," the cowboy moaned. "Where ya from, Sam?" With pain in his voice Sam replied.... " The balcony ."

BOOK OF KATI - BOOK TALK

One of the greatest perks of being an author for children and teens is the opportunity to visit with the readers either in person or live on the internet. At a recent 'Author Talk', I was visiting with approximately fifty or so kids between the ages of 11-13. The subject of our discussion was the  Book of Kati Series. A young girl asked, "Why did you write the series?"       I explained to her that sometimes an author writes a book to just tell a story and then at other times authors tell both a story and try to make the reader think about a message or many messages within the book. In the case of the first book CHANGES , Shona Anderson, my co-author, and I wanted our readers to understand the importance of friendships.       But this isn't everything that we considered as authors. Long before any young reader had the opportunity to read one of books, we took into consideration the following: Is the story relevant to the reader?  Too many tim...
