Impact beyond…
When you publish a childrens book, maybe any genre really, your hope and dream is that the children reading it will be moved to dream bigger. To imagine. To explore. To find their adventure in every day life. At least I do. So when I receive emails and snail mail telling me what an impact Born to be a Dragon has had on their children or class, it really makes my day. Three times I’ve received a classroom packet of letters, pictures, drawings and it does make my day. However, one can never be prepared for the ultimate email or...

It’s official! Ethiopia2012 is a big happy GO! I can’t even begin to communicate what is means to be privileged to have been hand picked for this trip. It’s only a small team going this time and our plans are far greater then one can even fathom! It will be amazing! But as you can imagine, going overseas costs a bit more then just a stroll into town. The airfare along to Gojjo, Ethiopia will be $1600 and then we have all the ministry expenses that come along with a trip like this. Because I know a lot of people have a...
read moreA thousand times… YES!
You know, it’s not often that I reshare something that I’ve stumbled upon on facebook or the internets. But today I am going to share something I found tonight. The words say: ”I find the whole concept of being ‘sexy’ embarrassing and confusing. If I do an interview with photographs people desperately want to change me — dye my hair blonder, pluck my eyebrows, give me a fringe. Then there’s the choice of clothes. I know everyone wants a picture of me in a mini-skirt. It’s nothing to do with...

From time to time I come across a recipe that is a MUST KEEP FOREVER! And this is that time. First, I am going to give credit where credit is due! Original recipe was retrieved from Smashed Peas and Carrots. If you haven’t checked out her site before, it’s a must visit. Just be aware, some of her plug-ins have caused things to crash for some folks. Weird, but true. Which is why I must repost this recipe for the world to enjoy! Quick. Easy. And best of all, wheat/gluten free! Hooray! No-Bake Energy Bites 1 cup oatmeal (Old...

Runaway Choices got a face-lift today… Well, its cover anyway. I’m still debating on the back cover blurb, but I think the front cover is going to stick with me. However, I think E. H. Jacobs is going to get a font change. Not a super fan. So now, I am doing the blurb today. This is what I have so far (and I have to cut it down to 1/3 of this!): Everyone runs from their past; Beck has it mastered. She’s been running for so long, stopping is a foreign concept. Her conning skills and wits have her on a plane to London, free of...
