Names, Titles and Covers
They say never judge a book by its cover but in this day and age, we often have just a one-inch rectangle in which to find a book or sell one. We look for covers that are attractive, that gain our attention. We also look for titles that are inviting. Continue reading Names, Titles and Covers

Start and Restart and Start Again

I’m Not Ready!
One of my oldest and dearest friends lost her father recently. It was a tragedy, not because he was young, but because he was the kind of father kids saw on television and never believed existed in real life.

Exhaustion and Rest

One of my fondest memories as a child was visiting my aunt and uncle. They had a bookshelf of children’s books my cousin had outgrown that I was allowed to explore.

Learning to read was one of the greatest gifts of education because … Continue reading Unlocking the Joy of Reading
Creating Your Joy
Let’s face it, sometimes, okay, a lot of times, life is hard. That lie we were told as children, you know the one…”You can do whatever you want when you’re an adult.” Yeah, right. You can do whatever you want as long as it’s go to work, do the laundry and pay the bills. I want to go back to being a kid when all … Continue reading Creating Your Joy
