The Prince of Deep Within

I am so excited to announce that I now have a new chapter book out for children in the middle elementary grades! Take a look below at the blurb about my new book, "The Prince of Deep Within."

Book Signings and TV Appearances

After Christmas, I took a  little break to rest from the push of Tiny the Tree. Now, It's time for some more book signings and TV interviews!  On March 2nd, I went to GW Carver Middle School and read my first book "Rainbow's Promise" to several classes on Read Across America Day. The students were wonderful and listened so closely as they heard about the Adventures of Rainbow. I also did an interview with Lynchburg's "Living in the Heart of Virginia." I look forward to the next push of the Rainbow Series as well as my upcoming chapter book "The Prince from Deep Within."

Upcoming interviews and book signings:
April 12th: Interview with News Channel 10
April 30th: Book Signing at Brewed Awakening in Danville, VA 10-2
May 7th: Book Signing at Hallmark in Danville, VA 12-3
June 11th: Book Signing at Barnes and Noble in Roanoke, VA 2-5

Christmas Happenings!

This was quite the Christmas season as I went traveling around with "Tiny the Tree." It was such a fun time celebrating Christmas while sharing my story with others. Tiny was on my mind constantly and I was so thankful people were so open to have me share my story with others. Not only was I able to read my story and do book signings, but I was also able to share about "Tiny the Tree" on WDBJ7 as well as WTW21 News!

Thank you to the following places for having me:

Brewed Awakening Cafe and Coffee Shop: Danville, VA
Serendipity Coffee House and Bistro: Martinsville, VA
Barnes and Noble: Roanoke, VA
Henry County Visitor Center

Adventures with "Tiny the Tree"

"Tiny the Tree" is now available and this is the season for some holiday book signings! The first Christmas signing of the season was at Karen's Hallmark in Danville, VA with some other talented local authors. I will look forward to sharing about the other book signings and happenings this month!

'Tis the Time for Festivals

     The fall is such a great time of the year for outdoor festivals! I have so enjoyed going to many festivals the past several months. During the month of October, I was able to go to the Danville's "Children's Festival" as well as Martinsville's "Octoberfest." Both festivals brought many families and children. It was so nice to meet new people and share with them about the Rainbow Series.

TIny the Tree Available Soon!

Want a Christmas Story that teaches children about the love of family during this holiday season? "Tiny the Tree" will be out soon! Be sure to grab one for your Classroom library, your children's Christmas present, a gift for a friend or family member, or as a teaching tool for your children before Christmas!

 Check out the first page of the book! What do you think will happen to "Tiny the Tree?"

Tiny tried to stand as tall as he could when the tree farmer came to check his rows of trees. Standing in between his mom and dad, Tiny knew he was the runt of the family. As the farmer came near, Tiny heard him say, “This one has a nice color. This one has good strong branches. Look how tall this one is!”

When the farmer stopped in front of him, Tiny wondered what he would say.

The farmer scratched his chin, looking puzzled. “I don’t know what to make of this one,” he said, 

feeling Tiny’s small branches. “I have fertilized this one. Pruned it. Babied it. But I still can’t get it to 

grow any taller. I expect this one will be standing alone come Christmas Day,” the farmer said sadly.

Brewed Awakening Book Fest

 My sweet friends at Binding Time have moved to Danville and opened up the cutest new place... "Brewed Awakening." Although I miss them being in Martinsville, they have been given wonderful new customers and business at this new location. They have been so kind to me and I wish them the best and look forward to staying in touch with them.

We had an amazing time at the Brewed Awakening Book Fest August 29th.  Stacy and I were joined with many other authors while the customers drank coffee, ate lunch, and visited with the various authors.  It was a successful day and we look forward to doing this again next year!
