Do your children love stories about animals? Do they like raccoons? Do they love stories that make them laugh? Well, check out Ricky the Rambunctious Raccoon for some entertaining and engaging illustrations that will keep your children engaged and giggling as they turn each page.
I know how rambunctious and troublesome raccoons can be first hand. We have had these naughty visitors to our back deck where they leave a path of destruction in their wake. I created this story with this in mind. Of course, my story is a funny tale that will delight your children and have them wanting to read it again and again. My husband created the beautiful illustrations that capture the story and bring it to life.
MOM’S CHOICE AWARD WINNER – SILVER MEDAL!
Ricky is a rambunctious or very active raccoon who likes to wander around to find something new to eat. One night during his foraging for food Ricky runs into all kinds of trouble. Will Ricky get home safely? Will he learn his lesson to listen to his mother?
Children will learn valuable life lessons as all my children’s books impart. These lessons will delight parents too. I know how important it is for children to learn these lessons in a fun way. They will enjoy reading and not realize that they are learning important life lessons at the same time.
Introduce your children today to this fun and entertaining book. You will love Ricky as much as your children do. It has earned a Silver Medal from @MomsChoiceAwards too!

I created this series to give hope to all who are in need. If you need to read something uplifting and inspiring with endearing characters that will resonant with you for a long time, then you must pick up this series. Please check it out today. I assure you that you will be inspired and moved and feel there is hope and love in this crazy world. You will want to have Branyrd on your side and watching over you.
FIVE STAR REVIEW – READERS’ FAVORITE BOOK AWARDS!
This is not a children’s book. Branyrd is a different kind of angel. She has a difficult time being understood because of her habit of getting into all kinds of trouble and for her unacceptable language. Angels are not supposed to swear.
This angel must earn levels to be accepted by the LORD. She is presently at Angel Fourth Class and must ascend to Angel First Class in order to be given a mission to travel to Earth to help a human in trouble.
Once she reaches Angel First Class, she is given a mission and travels to Earth to help a battered woman and her child. Since she is so new to the ways on Earth, Branyrd is accompanied by her Guardian Angel Benedicto, Angel First Class on High, who guides and advises her.
Branyrd doesn’t know what she will do or how she will complete this mission. She must show her strengths and succeed, or she may be demoted. What she finds on Earth is not what she expected. It certainly is nothing like Heaven. There are dangerous people but also those who she will miss dearly when she must leave.
This is a four-book series that should be read beginning with book 1 to get into the main character and her role in helping others according to God’s plan. HE sends her down to Earth to help those in need and give people some hope. After reading this series you will find peace and comfort in your life that nothing is impossible if you only believe.

Here is a post I have sent in the past and wanted to share again since it says it all for Mothers everywhere. God bless all mothers on their special day!
I don’t know what my kids plan for Mother’s Day yet but hope to hear from them soon. My husband and I plan to see a play and go out to dinner on Saturday and leave Sunday open for the kids.
Happy Mother’s Day (This lovely painting was created by my granddaughter, Leah, more than a few years ago.)
I hope all mothers out there have a wonderful day. It’s your day – may all your loved ones make it special in every way!
Each Mother’s Day I miss my mother even more. I wrote this poem many years ago and it says everything about her and how special she was.
It is never easy losing a loved one but they will always be with us in our hearts and memories. Some days I still talk to my mother when I have something important to share. I’m sure she is listening to me and smiling. Each time I eat something that she especially loved, I enjoy it even more as I offer it up to her. She loved her desserts, I not so much but I will have some just for her from time to time.
My mom, Beatrice
Happy Mother’s Day, Mom!
By Janice Spina
You were always there for me
To guide and pave the way.
You bandaged my scraped knees.
You hugged and kissed the hurt away.
You listened when I needed an ear
To solve a problem you were always there.
You taught me right from wrong
and soothed me to sleep with a sweet song.
When I was sick you stroked my fevered brow.
and slept by my side as long as time would allow.
You have been gone now for many a year
but in my heart I hold you forever near.
I miss and think of you every single day.
But I know I will join you when our Lord calls me His way.
Roses I received for other occasions from my husband to share with all mothers!
Here are some roses for all the lovely, hard-working, dedicated mothers out there. Please accept them with my love. Take care, stay safe and well. May your family shower you with love and appreciation for all that you do for them and definitely deserve.
Apple pie for Mom!

Children love my book about a little elephant who loses his way when his parents and family move to a new location. I love elephants – especially baby elephants. Louey is a baby elephant who will capture the hearts of your children. They will want to read about Louey over and over again.
WINNER OF SILVER MEDAL – MOM’S CHOICE AWARDS 10/29/20
Louey is an adorable but lazy elephant who likes to sleep late. One day Louey wakes up to find that the whole herd has moved on without him. Louey is very upset but he is determined to find his herd. Does Louey find his way to his family and friends? Does he learn that it doesn’t pay to be lazy? Take Louey home with you and find out.
Louey is the first children’s book I ever wrote and is still my favorite. Some readers have told me that they love Louey too and consider him their favorite. This is the first book my husband illustrated in crayon drawings. He has told me that he wants to update it into digital drawings but I won’t let him. I like to remember the way we first started with Louey and keep him this way, otherwise he will not be distinctive and stand out in a crowd. I think children love to color, I know I always did as a child. When they see Louey in this colorful format they will want to color too.
At some of the book signings in the past I brought along some coloring pages of some of my books for the children to enjoy. They were excited about them and couldn’t wait to go home and color after their parents purchased Louey as a guide.
If your children love baby elephants, they will adore Louey and cheer him on as he travels to find his parents and family. They will also learn an important life lesson about always listen to your mother.
Here are what others are saying about Louey on Amazon.

Here is a post that I sent two years ago. I had to share it again now that the Orioles are here! It has some great photos. I also shared some new photos below from this year’s arrivals. There are three birds in these photos – one female, light orange, and two males bright orange. It appears that the female is not happy that the two males are hogging the feeder of grape jelly. I don’t blame her! Haha!
I was happy to see that the Baltimore Oriole birds are now here right after the hummingbirds. Of course I had to snap some photos as always of these beautiful birds. They truly are colorful and a pleasure to see once again.
These photos are of a male who is bright orange while the female is a paler shade of orange. I haven’t seen a female yet but I’m sure she is close by. They usually take turns eating with the female in second place. Something is wrong here!
They are attracted by the orange feeder and the grape jelly. They will not eat grape jam or any other flavors. Thanks to my husband, they eat well. He always keeps a large jar of grape jelly on hand. I prefer grape jam myself. Ha!
I enjoy seeing these birds as well as all the others and have to thank John for taking the time to attract them to our feeders with all the tasty seeds. If it was up to me I wouldn’t be doing all this – too busy with my writing and other stuff.
Now back to my WIP and the final edit before publishing. Sigh!
Thank you so much for stopping by to read this post and for your continued support. Come back again soon for more news about upcoming books, reviews and whatever else pops into my overcrowded head.

Here is a post I sent two years ago about Hummingbirds. This year I spotted my first one on 5/4/26. I didn’t react quick enough to snap a photo, so I will share all these photos from the past of these amazing little birds.
We had a warmer day on 5/5/26 and cleaned off our back deck and moved around the furniture. We planned to sit and enjoy the nice weather. I was hoping to spot another hummingbird, but no luck.
HERE’S THE POST FROM 2024.
I was excited to see my favorite birds arrive on 5/4/24. I look forward with great anticipation to seeing them. It really feels like spring when they are here. They brighten my day each time they appear and are amazing to watch in action.
As I was sitting on my back deck this lovely spring day in the high 60’s to 70 degrees, I noticed a hummingbird at one of our three feeders. It was an emerald-throated one and looking quite thirsty. I snapped a few photos of him and a video. The birds usually are here in New England around the first of May or so. In years past they have arrived a little later. I guess it all depends upon their flight and how long it will take for them to get here.
I always find it amazing that these incredible little creatures can fly such long distances and always remember where we kept our feeders from past years. If we dare move the feeders they always go to the former placement of them first but eventually find the feeder’s new location. We do try to put their feeders in the same locations so as not to confuse them. The same goes true for the colorful Baltimore Oriole birds. We are expecting them any time now. It is exciting to see them return here to feed too. I will definitely share some photos of them with their brilliant orange and black feathers.
I never get tired of seeing these beautiful, fascinating and wondrous creatures. They move so swiftly, can stop in mid-air and even fly backwards and almost upside down. They are like graceful little helicopters as they search for food to sustain their little bodies.
There will be many more photos snapped as I see different ones. I missed taking a photo of a ruby-throated one that visited my kitchen window feeder. I was washing dishes and looked up to see him looking back at me as he drank his fill. I didn’t dare move too quickly or he would have flown away and then I wouldn’t get to see him at all. I always talk softly to them and keep my eyes on them without moving. They can’t hear me but they do keep their eyes on me too. I feel as if we are somehow connecting. Haha! I hope to snap a quick photo next time.
Here is a poem I wrote several years ago that I like to share each time I post about them.
HUMMINGBIRD
by Janice Spina
It’s as delicate as a butterfly
And graceful as a lark.
Wings beating in a symphonic rhythm
As it maneuvers around each flower,
And dips its beak to draw out the sweet-smelling nectar.
I watch as it moves effortlessly.
Its iridescent wings rapidly beating
As it hovers like an acrobat in midair.
Its feathers glisten with color and reflect the sun’s rays.
Seeing this bird in its element is to experience pure wonder and joy.
One knows there is something greater out there
That created the glorious hummingbird!
Watch for more photos of these litter critters and also the Baltimore Orioles who should be here soon if not already.
In case you want to know more about these beautiful birds, here is a link to a site to educate you. I have seen three different kinds of hummingbirds in our area – ruby-throated, emerald and a black and white variety. The eggs they lay are the size of a pea. It’s a wonder that they survive being so small at birth. I have seen some birds that are a little larger but most of them are quite petite and adorable.
Thank you so much for stopping by. I hope you enjoyed my photos and learning mor

My first novel published in 2014 was quite a departure from my children’s books. Most people at that time knew me mainly as a children’s author with two children’s books published in 2013.
MAINCREST MEDIA AWARD – CRIME FICTION! AUTHORSDB FIRST LINES CONTEST – FINALIST!
An insane killer, obsessed with blood and death, seeks revenge with those he perceives wronged him. He is now on the loose. His next victim may be Mariah.
Mariah has lost her memory. Will she remember what has transpired in her past? Can Mariah escape this deadly killer’s grasp. Will she finally be safe? Will the killer be apprehended?
AUTHORSDB FIRST LINES CONTEST – FINALIST!
This book begins where the first book, Hunting Mariah, left off. This suspense/thriller/crime novel will keep you turning pages as the tension grows. There will be twists and turns and some surprises. Many of the same characters will be in play to give support and encouragement to Mariah along the way. A new man comes into Mariah’s life that reminds her of someone she wants to forget. He threatens to bring back the horrors that she and her family once endured. While the one she wants to forget suffers from a horrendous attack that puts his life in jeopardy. Mariah must draw on her strength and resilience to survive danger at every turn. How much more can Mariah endure? How far will Mariah go to protect her family?
Many readers were shocked by this novel and especially gripped by the raw and brutal beginning of the story. I was deeply affected by this story too when I created it. It all came to me in a dream after hearing about a rape on a college campus just about the time that my daughter would be attending college. It was frightening to imagine and even more so to write about. My daughter was safe in school, thank goodness. She had to listen to me though as I wrote this story and needed my warnings.
If you haven’t read this book and its sequel, Mariah’s Revenge, now is the time to discover what others are saying about this unforgettable series. I assure you, you will not be able to put each book down until you finish them.

An Angel Among Us: A Short Story Collection is an eclectic mix of memorable stories that have surprise endings that will stay with the reader for a long time and make them want to read each story again.
FIVE STAR REVIEW FROM READERS’ FAVORITE BOOK AWARDS!
A collection of short stories that covers several genres including romance, grief/loss, mystery, suspense, sci-fi, fantasy and paranormal. This book is dedicated to a courageous friend who passed in 2017. The first story is specially created for her and is the inspiration for the title of this book.
When I wrote this collection I had no idea that I would connect with a high school friend and change the whole book because of this interaction. My high school friend, Anne Gillis Benedetto, connected with me on Facebook one day. We began emailing back and forth as she shared that she had lost her husband over a year ago at that time. As the time went by she also told me that she was dying of breast cancer. This broke my heart now that we had connected after so many years. Time was getting away for us to continue to keep in touch.
I told Anne about my book that was a WIP and how I wanted to write a story just for her and dedicate the title and book to her. She was deeply touched and told me so. We knew the time was short before she would not be able to write to me so I hurried to complete her story and send it along to her for her approval. She told me she loved it and was so grateful that it brought tears to her eyes. I was trying to keep my own tears at bay during this time. I felt as if I was losing her too soon after finally finding her again. She is deeply missed by not only me but by all her friends for she was a kind, caring, generous and witty person. A bright light has been dimmed leaving us in the dark.
If you haven’t read this collection, please check it out today. I assure you that you will be moved by Anne’s story (fiction) and all the rest of the stories, eclectic in nature but with a similar thread running through them. This collection is in three formats – paperback, eBooks and audiobook. It is available on Amazon and Barnes & Noble (paperback here only).
Here are what others are saying about this eclectic collection.
