New Children's Books!



I'm so excited to announce the publication of TWO new children's books! These have been a loooong time coming.

The new titles are Sand Socks and More Tales from the Bug Lost and Found. 

Sand Socks was a birthday present for my mother-in-law, who loved going to the beach with us. The story is simple and straightforward, just like a relaxing day at the beach. My sister painted beautiful watercolors to accompany the text; the waves and the animals just jump off the page! I had a draft of this book finished in 2019, but then our computer crashed and I had to start over. (I also got busy with other projects...) Now, seven years later, it's done!

The Bug Lost and Found started out as a silly story I told to my kids one day. Then I added a story, then another story, then another story! For Christmas that year, I made a little book of the four stories, with four illustrations by my husband. That was the year my husband was without work, so we were getting extra creative with Christmas presents. A few years later, I added a fifth story and my sister added her cute illustrations. The book was published in 2018, and just in time too! My daughter was born in March of 2018, and I started writing the sequel while I rested at the hospital! Now my daughter is 8, and the sequel, More Tales from the Bug Lost and Found, is finally ready to meet the world!

It's been a fun journey of publishing children's books. I have a non-fiction book coming later this year, but most of my time now is focused on writing plays and musicals. But if I'm ever inspired, maybe I'll write another children's book!


All three titles can be purchased on Amazon.com!
