Launch Day

We have launched the new book Oscar The Loveable Seagull.  We did not use champagne but instead used France's Evian bottled water. There was no glass to clean up and no headache the next day. Getting Oscar to publication has been a long journey and I am glad that it has taken this time. It afforded me the opportunity to get to know him well and to enjoy the benefits from knowing anyone you like for a long time. At seagull school his teachers see him as cheerful, thoughtful, cooperative, inquisitive, helpful and one who takes initiative. He continues to show improvement in the areas of gross and fine motor skills. He may be the last to finish a race but he always finishes. 

Sarah Gledhill illustrated this book for me and we both hope you enjoy Oscar as much as we do. We hate to leave him so we decided to come back with a sequel now in progress.

Oscar is available on Amazon as an eBook and a paperback. He is available in iBooks as an eBook.

Enjoy and please give us feedback on the story. We are anxious to improve our craft.

Happiness

       Happiness           

I had this thought recently. What we create for the reading public is a source of happiness for them. These works escort them through fantasy worlds, mysteries, tales of crime, tragedies, melodramas, and romances. They will experience powerful emotions, face disappointment during the twists and turns but in the end the hero could be someone they think of as a friend. The essential element of this whole process is that a reader is happy. I suddenly felt a responsibility for the finished product in a compelling way. I began to see myself as the reader and remembered the pleasure I experience by being a part of the story telling of so many amazing authors. I will keep this in mind during my writing process for what is possible. 

This short video, titled Happiness, is for the reader and author alike.

Enjoy,
