What a week this is going to be. We have so many wonderful folks who want to talk about their
books, reviews, and, best of all, the fabulous giveaways that are being
offered.
I started writing kids books after working in an elementary
school for 100 years and noticed only the little ones got excited about
checking out library books. They would
run up to show anybody who would listen about the treasure they found to take
home and read with mom and dad. Kids,
fifth grade and up, not so much!
In today’s world, reading is absolutely essential. I was not a reader as a kid. I hated reading until I had kids of my own
(then I started reading to escape reality)!
I decided I would try and write some stories for the middle grade
kiddos. They have stresses just like we
adults do. I wanted stories that would
help them escape for just a little while!
Hike Up Devil’s Mountain - (eBook), printed version, and
audio
What do you get when one ten-year old boy breaks into the basement of an old abandoned house, that is to be demolished the next day, and finds a mysterious glowing stick? Now add the school bully and his ten-year old brother who also find their way to that basement. The bully wants that stick! A fight ensues and that bully is now a toad.
What you get is a whirlwind adventure of two boys and a toad
that have to hike up Devil’s Mountain to find the only person who can help
them.
The dangers they meet along the way will keep you turning
those pages to find out what happens next!
There is a surprise ending you just don’t see coming!

Billy Cooper’s Awesome Nightmare – eBook
Billy Cooper’s seventh grade class has been given a last
minute, weekend assignment. An oral
book report, due Monday, on some stupid historical figure, he draws from a box.
Who the heck is William Tell?
Billy’s weekend is way too full to worry about some legend –
that is, until he meets his subject face to face!
A Float Down the Canal – eBook
Twelve-year old Pam Simpson gets dumped on when her mother
is called into work. She must cancel her plans for the mall to babysit her
younger brother and his friend and take them to the public pool. To make matters worse her cousin, Candy, is
also coming over for the day. She
doesn’t even like Candy!
Much to Candy’s dismay, transportation to the pool is on
inner tubes, floating down the canal.
One thing leads to another and it is Pam who, once again, must save the
day.
When things couldn’t seem worse, the day takes a drastic
turn for the better and it is Candy, and the float down the canal, that makes
this the best day of Pam’s life!
Please leave a comment because I would like one lucky person
to win all 3 stories. They will be in
eBook format!
Thanks so much for stopping by and PLEASE check out all the
rest of the wonderful people involved in this wonderful blog hop!
