Hi everyone! 
​
I've had quite a few people write me asking me for a "real" book to read to their kids rather than the Kindle eBook and while I do have "print-on-demand" books available via Blurb, they are admittedly, not very affordable.  I did a bit of research into how I could make them more affordable and found that Blurb offers a "trade book" which is less expensive than the "photo book" format so as an experiment, I formatted Burt's Undersea Adventure into a trade book which sells for $8.99.  A much better price than the $26 (yikes!) for the photo book.  I'm not sure why I didn't notice this before.  Could be I had no idea what I was doing at the time? ha ha 

But.....I do not have the $8.99 version available for sale yet.  I ordered a copy to proof first so I can make sure the quality is excellent before I sell to my readers! I should receive the book within a a week or so and I'll let you know what I think and when it will be available.  Also, if the trade book format works then I will format the other two books and upload them for purchase too.  
Fingers crossed this all works out! :-)  Screenshot below of the new format. 

I had a thought while I was cleaning the house (best ideas come to me while cleaning ha ha) that Burt needs a pirate song for his new adventure.  Yes, that was a little bit of a hint of the next book!

In the next book, Rocket Roy and Boris the Bear head out for a space adventure leaving poor Burt the Bunny home.....alone.  What were they thinking?  Don't they realize Burt's middle name is "Mischief"?  :-) 

While doing a bit of research into pirate songs I found this really fun site with famous songs and the history behind them.  Go check it out!  It's pretty fun! 

I'm officially an "empty-nester"! My youngest moved out a couple of weeks ago so I took over his old room and made it into my studio. Finally a huge closet to hold all my art supplies (all in one room) and the best part is the view into our backyard.  No more looking at the side of the neighbor's house! 

Finally!  Getting back to work.  Not sure what happened to my focus this past year but I found myself completely distracted with family, the flu, house remodel and a new dirt bike which I'm sure will continue to be a distraction.  ha ha Really love my dirt bike. 

Today I began story boarding a new Burt the Bunny adventure and so far, I think there will be a lot of improvements in the story telling.  In reading my books to my little grandson, I realized there are better ways to narrate the stories and help the books grow with the child as they learn how to read.  

In the meantime, please nab FREE copies of a couple of my books at Kindle starting Monday, March 12th through Friday, March 16th.  :-)  

HI everyone, 
This year has gone by way too fast! Are you ready for the holidays?  I'm not! Thank goodness for online shopping or I would never make it.  ha ha 

Check out my Amazon Kindle site and take advantage of downloading my three best sellers for FREE!    Read them with your little ones while drinking hot chocolate.  Enjoy!  

Once again I thank all my readers out there who keep buying my books!  I'm forever grateful for your readership! 

Have a wonderful holiday and happy new year to all!!  

As usual I'm really behind on everything! A big distraction came from spurgling and buying a brand new dirt bike! I've never had electric start before. Such a luxury.

I feel very grateful to have a successful writing side job that allows me to buy fun things. I love writing and creating animation (still in process) and I'm always grateful for my readers who purchase my books. I want everyone to know that YES! You can do it too. Just do it. Start with a few paragraphs or drawings each day so you don't feel overwhelmed. You may be surprised at how much you finish and then....publish it. You can do it!

Thank you you so much for reading my blog and buying my books. I really do appreciate it. ❤️

Ps: No I don't wear my cowboy boots while riding. Okay, so I did but just around the yard. 😉

Wow! I had no idea how difficult and fun choosing music for my animation could be!! So many possibilities!

​I have the music in my head but I'm still looking for piece I need and can use legally!

Getting closer to filming the action and adventures of my characters! Printed the narration boards for the intro!!

Working on finishing the set and Boris the Bear for the intro! Almost there! Finally!!
