My Wonderful Weeks of Magical Awards, Book Sales and Signings!

I've had a wonderful couple of weeks! November 20-22nd, I went to Miami to receive my Bronze Medal for Magical Mathew! I met some lovely authors and went to the huge Miami International Book Fair. There were some lovely speakers (see 11/26/13 post). Here are the official photos:

When I returned from Miami, it was a rush to get ready for Thanksgiving (overcooked the pie and stopped up the drain with potato peelings!) Still, we had a wonderful family gathering at my brother's.

Then it was the Black Friday weekend Book Sales and Signing with the Fremont Area Writers Club. I sold MagMatt and MagMea books every day!

Today was the icing on the cake:
I received my Creative Child Magazine Kids' Holiday Gift edition and found that Magical Mea won a Preferred Choice Award from Moms and Educators!

Then I received an email that Magical Mea won a Fall 2013 Pinnacle Book Achievement Award from NABE! Woo hoo!

What a great couple of weeks!

Magical Mea: Now Available

Mea is a trickster. She’s the little sister of Magical Matthew. Mea found her magic power about the same time Matt lost his. Big brother Matthew wants to mentor Mea. He’ll show her how to use her magic for good, like he did. But the more Matt tries to guide Mea, the more she wants to "do it her way.” Matthew is worried Mea might get into trouble.

Mea wants to put her magic to the test. What can she do? What might happen to a little girl on the loose with magic powers? Can anyone get Mea to listen to reason?

Teachers and parents can use this book to show how doing good is more rewarding than getting attention for negative actions.

This book is suitable for children ages 4 through 9.

Magical Mea is published by Guardian Angel Publishing.

Magical Matthew

My first book, Magical Matthew, illustrated by Kevin Scott Collier, was published by Guardian Angel Publishing in October 2012! This book was inspired by my friend's son, Matthew, when he attained "double digits." That milestone marked the transition that all children make from being an elementary "kid," to a middle school "tween." There's the loss of innocence that we mourn, but also a growing maturity that we applaud. y book celebrates the "magic" of that transition.

I am pleased Kevin Scott Collier illustrated Magical Matthew. Kevin is a delight to work with and does amazing illustrations making the story come alive in a "magical" way.

This book is suitable for children ages 4 through 9.
