Sneek peek and the Store is now open and where I will be selling and signing books

Sneek peek at the first verse of the book, this book can be suited for so many. If you have lost someone special, or maybe you just live real far away from family, could it be that you work out of town.  Or it can even relate to  Open Adoption, or just adoption maybe even foster care .My first writing of the book was for a loss, but then I had to rewrite it so that it was not so specific as to a child's first year and made it to be for a lot  broader of ages.. I grew up having never known my sister she would have been three years older than me, but I always wondered what is would have been like to have had her there... My Dad worked away a lot and missed  day to day things but I knew he wished he could have been there too..so there are many things about this book that touch different people for different reasons.#working # family #Military #Adoption #Loss #comfort #IF I COULD HAVE BEEN THERE. The store is now open click the link   MY Bookstore
Also keep checking back to see where I may be set up for sales

Book donated to my hometown Library

I donated My book to the Library in Hardisty, as this was My hometown I thought it would be good place to start with .. it takes about 6 weeks Billi-jo said to get it registered with the Library.. the shipment for My order of books will be in port in Vancouver the 29th of April they say then have to clear customs and sorting. I am going to aim for having the books here sometime the week of May 12th - 16th hopefully... So will be coming down to Hardisty with all the preorders, then down to Calgary as I have a few needed that way too... so then I will be posting where I will be I am planning a book launch in Camrose at the Cobblers store on Mainstreet will post when I know the date..

The book was written the night Surai was born

I finally got my books to Rochelle, Kelly,Haylee and TaraLynn . I was able to show the book to Surai (My great niece, whom was the inspiration for the book)... Surai just turned 6 this year and she has twin brothers Beckett and Griffin who are 4.5 years old. The night Surai was born I thought of all the things my Brother Jeff would be missing as he passed away two years before, I thought of many things about Surai and what he may have done if he could have been here...
I was able to finally finish this book this year finishing all the illustrations and making the poems suit the theme.. here is a look at the kids getting a look at the book that was written for them.
