Great book!

Thank goodness!

The Blue Truck series is great!

I’m a collector of badges and won’t let a month go by without posting a draft and a revision at a minimum and maybe also a book review and a comment about the author of the month.

Library haul! Yay!

Love my kindle!

The movies are great too!

A lovely feel-good story.

Sounds funny! Good luck!

Sounds like fun! Reminds me of “If You Ever Want to Bring Your Piano to the Beach - Don’t!” by Elsie Parsley.

I love this!

Now that Snow White has moved in with the Prince, the Seven Dwarfs set out for their own adventure. They encounter other Fairy Tale characters along the way and stop whenever needed to provide help with their unique talents. They just want “Happily Ever After” for all. #skypitch

Marty Mantis’ diary gives us his insights on living with 200 siblings, fighting for his life and being the subject of a little boy’s science experiment. All Marty wants is to escape and lead the good life in the great outdoors. #skypitch

Charlie’s neighbor has lost his wife and his interests in photography, woodworking and gardening. Charlie thinks a rescue dog is the cure and Rusty becomes the first of several to be adopted. Everyone deserves a SECOND CHANCE. #skypitch

The zoo’s only peachick struggles to discover what makes him unique. He can’t swing like monkey or trumpet like elephant and visitors don’t clamor to take his picture. He tries to learn from others and copy their specialty. Time and patience are on his side. #skypitch

Sounds exciting! Good luck!

A book dedication page with the text 'To my parents, who gave me the freedom to read ALL the books' above a heart symbol, indicating a dedication to the author's parents. Below is the cover of a book titled 'I Want to Read ALL the Books' by Debbie Ridpath Ohi, featuring an illustration of a young girl holding a stack of colorful books. The cover also includes the publisher's information, Simon & Schuster Books for Young Readers, and additional publication details at the bottom.

Book cover of 'I Want to Read ALL the Books' by Debbie Ridpath Ohi, featuring a joyful young girl hugging a book with her eyes closed, surrounded by towering piles of colorful books. A small white dog with a blue collar beside her, holding a book in its mouth, looking up at the girl hopefully.

I will always be forever grateful to my parents, who took me to the library every week & let me choose any books I wanted (never tried to censor). Here's the dedication in my solo picture bk, I WANT TO READ ALL THE BOOKS, which launches from Simon & Schuster on Sept.17, 2024.

Writing is magic, as much the water of life as any other creative art. -Stephen King

Sometimes it takes space and time to write. Time to think, time to reflect. Other times it just tumbles out as fast as it can. As an author, you never quite know what it's going to be when you sit down to write. For me, writing includes think time. #amwriting #author #writing

A figure standing on a gloomy, barren road that stretches into the distance, disappearing within the pages of an open book, where blue sky, a sunlit road & green foliage beckon.

“Books are my friends, my companions. They make me laugh and cry and find meaning in life.”
― Christopher Paolini
