Good Morning

Just wanted to say hi and hope your morning is as good and happy as mine. I finished several sewing projects that have been cluttering my sewing room and giving me a headache.

Now on to several other projects that have been knocking around in my head, wanting to come out to play.

I have a series of children’s books that have been getting way too much attention from every “wanna-be promoter” in the world. So today I’m protecting them by copyrighting all four. I know that alone does not protect them, but it does give me a legal leg to stand on.

Sleep Travelers was conceived at the suggestion of my daughter, Dawnzella! When she was little, she had three imaginary playmates. As an adult, she couldn’t remember what they were; only their names: Ning, Dog, and Boss! She said, “Mom, why don’t you write a story about my Imaginary Playmates?”

I decided it would be fun to write about all four of them, going on sleep adventures!

The first one was written introducing ‘Little Dawnies’ playmates. Ning, a Siamese cat, meeting Dog, who is a big shaggy dog, over a delicious piece of Salmon, which they both desired for dinner. Both were willing to fight for it, but Dog decided to offer to share with her, rather than fight!

Boss was perched in a tree above the stand-off, ready to fly down to save Ning from herself. After they all met and became friends, Dog invited them to spend the night in his ‘digs’! They decided to see what his digs were like and were delighted to find it snug and next to a stream, where Dog and Boss could score a fish or two for food.

Ning wouldn’t go near the water unless it were to watch the ‘guys’ fish and from a very dry, and as clean as possible, rock.

That’s the premise of all four books in this series:

Book 1: The Story of NIng, Dog & Boss

Book 2: The Amusement Park

Book 3: The Dude Ranch

Book 4: The Train Ride!

There are more bouncing around in my head, waiting for my fingers to get better acquainted again with my keyboard.

I hope you like the premise, and I believe they would be fun to read and also to read to children, as I purposely created much dialogue between the children and the animals they meet on their adventures.

All my books are published with Draft2Digital and distributed to the following platforms: Apple Books, Barnes & Noble, Kobo, Everand, Smashwords, Tolino OverDrive, bibliotheca, Baker & Taylor, BorrowBox, Hoopla, Vivlio, Palace Marketplace, Odilo, Gardners, and Amazon.

Gotta go now and get busy with those things that make me happy. Find something that makes you happy, too! Hope your day brings you happiness, too!

Biography Creating worlds, characters, and wielding power like a madwoman, making my characters happy, sad, angry, and some of them with no redeeming qualities. I probably shouldn’t admit this, but I sometimes laugh out loud when I am writing a scene, and I have been known to cry when one of my favorites has to die. I am a left-handed Gemini, what do you expect? Reading bedtime stories to my two children until they fell asleep or until they just told me to go away, was fun. Making up wild stories for my grandchild, and creating Halloween costumes from Cowboys to a Dragon, was another favorite thing to do. I missed that so much when they were grown, that I started writing. My yearly newsletters frequently were drafted third-person by my Love Birds, Miranda our motorhome, and by Sir Fit the White Knight, our faithful Honda. Throughout the years, some of my creative talents centered around writing letters of complaint expressing my displeasure with services or products. One crucial, at least to my Son, was a note to our local school bus driver petitioning her to allow him back on the bus. He was kicked off for making an obscene gesture at his buddy. I reminded her that it was not directed at her, and that “obscenity can be in the eye of the beholder,” kids use that gesture as a greeting. He rode the bus until he graduated. I loved driving my English teacher crazy. Leaving a “continued next week” at the end of my five handwritten pages required each week. He was one of many people that suggested I “do something about my writing.” I graduated from the School of Hard Knocks at the top of my class. After 30 years, in the trenches as a Real Estate Professional, I have found that truth is stranger than fiction. My books are filled with characters I met in that profession. Their names were changed to protect the guilty. Others were from people we met traveling around the country in Miranda, our Motorhome. I am married nearly 60 years to the love of my life, Shirl, and partner-produced two exceptionally talented children, and one grandchild who is our pride and joy.
