Thank You to Cara Correll, Paperback Releases & Book Signing Today!

My sincere and heartfelt THANK YOU to Cara Correll for her excellent five-star review of my children's ebook, Bedtime Can Be Fun!  Cara said that the book is a cute kid's story about the wonderful things children can visit in their dreams.  Thank you for your outstanding review, Cara.  I'm delighted that you enjoyed the book and your review means more to me than you know.

In case anyone's interested, Bedtime Can Be Fun! is also available as a beautifully printed paperback book.  I've been working very hard these last few weeks on all of my children's ebooks so that they can be printed as full color paperback books by the start of the holiday season at the end of this month.  You can see which of my books are already available as paperbacks on my amazon Author Page, if you're interested.

Also, I'll be signing my children's books at the White Lake Library in White Lake, Michigan from two until four o'clock today.  Please feel free to drop by if you'd like to chat with me or buy any of my books.  I'll be the handsome one who looks like this:


In this photo, I'm the one playing the ukulele, not the green one on my shoulder.

Thank you again for your wonderful review, Cara!

Thanks for stopping by, everyone!  See you next time!

Witch Sales, Print Books & Riddle Answer

Well, Halloween is behind us and I'm delighted to report that while The Witch That Was Afraid of Bugs: A Halloween Tale didn't make it to #1, I'm absolutely gobsmacked at the number of books we sold!  My heartfelt thank you to everyone who bought a copy.

Two of my children's ebooks, Bedtime Can Be Fun and More Things You Might See are now available as paperback books on amazon!  Things You Might See and Things You Might See #3 will be available as paperback books in a few days.  I'm formatting all of my other books for paperback publication and hope to have them all available by the end of the month.  I have to admit that I'm very pleased with the printed versions of these books.  The colors are vibrant and the images are sharp.

You might remember that I showed you a drawing the other day called, "Or Tickle a Turtle with a Feather Until It Laughs Out Loud," from my book Bedtime Can Be Fun! and that I challenged you to guess what the drawing is called that is paired with that drawing.  Well, if you guessed, "Climb a Tall Mountain and Touch a Big Cloud" you were right!  Here's the drawing:

Thank you, too, to everyone who's bought a copy of my latest Halloween book, The Witch That Was Afraid of Bugs, which has been selling a remarkable number of copies!  It will be available through amazon and Barnes & Noble through Halloween for only ninety-nine cents!

In other news, I'm formatting some of my ebooks so that they'll be available soon as printed books.  The first, Bedtime Can Be Fun!, should be available as a printed book in a few days.  I'll keep you posted as details develop.

Here's one of the illustrations from Bedtime:


Now for a riddle.  Can you guess what illustration is paired with this one?  I'll give you a hint; it's called, "Climb a tall mountain and touch a big _________."  Remember, the missing word rhymes with 'loud.'  I'll give you the answer in a few days.  Good luck guessing!

Thanks again for your outstanding review, Sharon!

"The Witch That Was Afraid of Bugs" Now Available on Amazon and Barnes & Noble!

I just published my latest children's book, "The Witch That Was Afraid of Bugs: A Halloween Tale," on amazon and Barnes and Noble!  Unlike my other books, which have all been rhyming picture books, this one's a storybook with just a few pictures.

If you'd like to see the book on amazon, click here.

If you'd like to see it on Barnes and Noble, click here.

Here's the cover:



You may remember that I showed you a drawing from the book not long ago of the two main characters, Autumn and James.  In the drawing, they're dressed in their Halloween costumes.  I asked if you could guess what they were dressed as.  Well, if you guessed astronauts, you were right and should feel proud of yourself for guessing correctly!

I'm currently working on three more picture books which I hope to release in December.  I'll keep you posted as to what they're about in the coming days and weeks.

Well, thanks for stopping by, everyone!  See you next time!

Upcoming Halloween Book and Thank You to Penmouse!

My sincere and heartfelt THANK YOU to Penmouse, who gave my most recent #1 Bestselling book, Things You Might See #3, an excellent five-star review on amazon!  Penmouse highly recommends the book and found it to be a little bit silly and a whole lot of fun to read!  Penmouse also found the drawings to be fun and the rhymes to be written in such a way that children are able to guess the rhymes when they see the drawings.  Thank you again, Penmouse.  I'm ecstatic that you enjoyed the book and your review means the world to me!

As I write this, October is just hours away, which reminds me that I have a new Halloween book coming out in a couple of weeks.  While all of my books so far have been rhyming picture books, the new one is a storybook with just a few pictures.  Here's one of the drawings:


This is Autumn and her best friend, James, dressed in their Halloween costumes.  Can you guess what they're dressed as?  I'll give you the answer here on my blog in a few days.

Thanks again for your review, Penmouse!  I can't tell you how pleased I am that you took the time to tell the world how much you enjoyed the book!

"Things 3" #1 Bestseller in US, EU and Japan! Thank you to Wezen Chong!

My warm heartfelt THANK YOU to Wezen Chong for your excellent five-star review of Things You Might See #3.  Wezen's three year old son also gave the  book five stars and was so happy when he guessed the rhymes correctly.  Wezen likes how the last words in each rhyme are bigger and feels that that fact helps with visual learning and helps build confidence when learning to read.  Thank you again, Wezen.  I'm delighted that you and your son enjoyed the book and your outstanding review means more to me than you know.

Speaking of Things You Might See #3, the book became a #1 Bestseller in the United States, the European Union and Japan this week!  I can't tell you how satisfying it is to learn that one of my books helped bring parents and children together all around the world.

If you haven't gotten your copy yet, here's one of the illustrations:


You've probably already guessed that this is the last drawing in the book.
