Like it or not, the holiday season is upon us.
I may be prejudiced, but as a writer I feel that books
make the best gifts ever - especially for children.

So give them

Fun, adventure, and a lifetime of reading enjoyment.

My writing is a habit I can't kick - an addiction if you will. To not write is unthinkable! Over the years my best stories came to me in the middle of the night. They had me creeping into the bathroom to write them down before they became lost, along with my other dreams.
Some flowed into my computer as smooth and easy as honey on hot toast. Others were stubborn, difficult, or just plain antsy. I had to cajole, threaten and bribe the characters to stick with the program - MY program. I won some and I last some. Yet however the story finally ended, I fell in love with it. I even admit that the characters sometimes had better plot ideas than I. Shush. . . don't spread that around, mates.
I wrote each story with the idea of HOOKING kids on reading. Teach a child to love books at an early age, and you make them into lifelong readers. And the way to do that is to read them books that have giggles, fun, adventure, love, and that unique WOW factor that makes them into re-readable favorites.
I love each book I wrote, and I am hoping to
make converts out of YOU!

My Young Teen reads:
A coming of age adventure set in the Aussie Outback.
Blimey, whoda thunk that a sulfur crested cockatoo named Claude could become
such a great character, along with a young aboriginal boy called Taconi,
+ a Man Ceremony, a bunch of witchetty grubs, and a freaked out emu.
