A Pleasant Surprise From a Teacher About "Tiny Angel"



I was very pleasantly surprised to receive a letter from Ms. Nancy Bass, third grade teacher at the Assumption School in Millbury, MA.

Ms. Bass read my book, Tiny Angel to her class then wrote to me....

Not only that, but her wonderful students drew delightful pictures using scenes from my book, which Ms. Bass included with her letter.
I posted a few of those drawings above.
Unfortunately, I have not been able to post this lovely letter on this blog or the rest of the drawings, but if you'd like to see them,
please check out my website:

I want to offer my heartfelt thanks to Ms. Bass and her students. You all have touched my heart greatly and I will never forget this letter or your drawings.

It's May...where have I been?

May is almost half over and it seems like it's rushing by. I've been busy though, so that's good. I polished my picture book and have it finished. I hope! Also, I have been cleaning out files, getting rid of "junk" and trying to ease up some space on my PC. In between doing that, I've been busy reading and writing reviews. Check out my latest at New York Journal of Books and ReaderToReader.com. Yesterday I managed to get about ten pages written on my sequel to "Tiny Angel" but with the way I'm going, it's anyone's guess when I'll finish it. Time seems to fly without my realizing it and I look up and it's another month. Geesh.

Anyway I just wanted to take a minute to say I'm still here but very busy. Hopefully the next time I post something, I'll have some good news, or at least something interesting.

News and Guardian Angel Publishing's New Releases



Hi everyone...

I've been busy with company this past week, so I haven't had much of a chance to work, but I'm not complaining for my company (cousin Lorraine and her hubby Randy) are the best and we had such a great time together! Anyway, since they left, I have been polishing up my latest picture book, and writing (ad nauseum, I may add) on my sequel, though I think I may trash all I've written and start fresh chapters. Ugh. Talk about writer's block and so much going through my mind.

Anyhow...just found out from my wonderful publisher, Lynda, at Guardian Angel Publishing, that the following books are new releases. Please check them out so you can see what a wonderfully group of talented folks I have the honor of being associated with.

Back to work. Cheers and blessings...
