JUSTINE is Still My Highest Reviewed Book
After publishing my first memoir, Not-My-Story-to-Tell, readers wanted more. Some said the book was too short and they wanted to know more about Justineās life. I decided to write a sequel and include happier times. I titled this book, JUSTINE. I didnāt make a paperback version this time due to cost and I wasnāt sure it would be as well-liked. Itās been getting solid reviews and has even gottenā¦
Sign Painting
My friend found this sign at a yard sale for $.50. She doesnāt paint so she gave it to me. There is actually a family name engraved on the back. She loves birds so I painted this bird for her. Weāre both in Florida so I thought a tropical bird would be appropriate.

Book Reviews
Authors rely on book reviews to boost our algorithm. Whenever someone leaves a review, it bumps our book up the ladder, so more people see it, hopefully buy it and review it. Self-published or Indy authors, like myself, donāt make much money. Itās really just a few dollars for each sale and to be honest, we give many books away, hopping to get that coveted review. A review doesnāt have to beā¦

A Special Birthday Present
A Special BirthdayĀ Present
When I wrote I Canāt Sleep with a Dog on my Head I had a deadline in mind; my grandson, Oliverās birthday. I was racing against the clock to get the illustrations finished and format it for KDP. I ran into a few problems on Kindle Kids Create but I persevered and got it finished and published it as an e-book. Then, as I explained here I hit a roadblock. Luckily, I had some extra time before theā¦

My new childrenās book, I Canāt Sleep with a Dog on my Head! is available in e-book format. I had no idea that KDP could not convert it to paperback version, like it did for my two memoirs Not My Story to Tell and JUSTINE. It seamlessly converted my novel, Rose-Coloured Houses but picture books are another story (pardon the pun). I thought I was an experienced author and publisher, having doneā¦
