Children's Book Week Blog Hop

Welcome to the 2nd Annual Children’s Book Week Kid Lit Giveaway Hop, hosted by Youth Literature Reviews and Mother Daughter Book Reviews. 

I am a middle-grade author. I write for kids.

You ask: Why write for kids? My answer: Why not?

Books can transport even the shyest child into a safe place to explore their feelings and emotions within a new world that may—or may not—share the same fears, values, rules that they hold. 

As a youth, I enjoyed such fun series as The Ramona books by Beverly Cleary. Judy Blume’s many books helped me deal with the changes that tweens experience.  Anne of Green Gable, Tom Sawyer, and Pippi Longstocking (not realistic fiction—but definitely a fun read) are characters you can’t help but love. 

 The main character in my Ginnie West Adventures series has been compared to all of these wonderful books and characters and I am honored by the comparison. 

If you'd like a chance to win a copy of all 4 of my printed books (above), please enter the Rafflecopter here:
