I began writing when I was as young as nine years old but didn’t publish my first work until 2013 – ten years ago. It seems like it’s been longer than that to write and publish 45 books. It certainly took a great deal of work and effort to do it but I enjoyed all of it – well, maybe not so much promoting. That is still a lot of work to me but writing is the best part. Promoting takes too much of my time but has to be done. I use Book Marketing Global Network and AllAuthor.com at present.

There are a few more stories on the back burner that I am looking forward to writing and sharing with you but I need to complete the two series I have now. Sigh! So much to do but do I have enough left in me to do it all? I will do it! I will not give up until they are all done!

The first book I published in 2013 was my favorite, Louey the Lazy Elephant. Some of my readers have mentioned that they love Louey too! He is too cute to ignore and was the first book illustrated by my husband. It was more in a coloring mode than any other book. I love it! He keeps asking me if he can redo the illustrations but I veto that each time! I think kids see enough to the digital illustrations and need to see something different like Louey. I hope if you haven’t checked him out that you will soon for your children to enjoy.

I wrote this book because I love elephants, especially baby elephants. They are so sweet and innocent and can get into all kinds of trouble. Read about Louey and see what he does in his own story.
