Inspiration for Another Promising Children's Book from Self Publishing, Indie Author about Stray Cats and Dogs



I'm a Sucker for Rescuing Needy & Stray Dogs and Cats! 

My husband would say this year I've gone "cat sh*t crazy".


It's the truth.

They (we now have two dogs and two cats, all rescues) find their way into my yard, and some of them eventually find their way into our home, and into our hearts.

Like our newest, and only female pet, Joey, who walked right up to me crying and rubbing my leg, and hasn't left my side yet since, except for nap time, of course.

What's the point of all this?
Well, it's inspired me to finish a story I started years ago about my first adopted pet ever, Barney the Wonder Dog.

He even was a star in a couple short films I produced during my younger years, titled, The Porta Party (which never made production..but the trailer is below), Reunion Revenge, and my all time favorite, The X-mas Story Reprise. (We were young, and stupid, and obviously had way too much time on our hands, but boy did we have fun!)

Enjoy the video, and join my subscriber list to be the first to find out when the story will be published!


In Memory of
Barney the Wonderdog
1990-2004


Update: Barney the Wonderdog has turned into a chapter book for children, and I've come up with the following chapter titles.

Oh Sheet!

King of the Deck
Fight for your Right to Walk!
The Big Move
My So Called Walk

More to come.......

The Self-Publishing Dilemma Continues for Indie Authors Trying to Avoid Publishing Scams!

Are you trying to figure out how to get your book published?  Tired of searching the web for the most legitimate, and affordable way to make your dream of publishing your own book a reality?  ME TOO! I've been scrounging the internet for months now, searching for the best way to get a children's fiction picture book published , and this is what I've come up with so far....there are WAY TOO MANY SCAMS OUT THERE, and it can be a scary world for Indie authors who are trying to weed through the garbage subsidy and vanity publishers trolling the web for writers with aspirations of becoming published.  What a discouraging process this can be for self-publishing authors! Who to trust?  Please, don't give up!  If you are like me, you are determined to find the best route to take, which is why I would like to start a conversation on this blog, so Indie authors who are publishing books themselves, can share their horror stories and hopefully provide many of...

A Review of My New Pet, written and illustrated by Melanie Bremner

My New Pet , written and illustrated by Melanie Bremner is a delightful story that any child will enjoy reading, and all parents can appreciate. Written in a simple rhyme scheme pattern, this story is great for beginning readers, as well as a great read aloud. My eight year old and I both really enjoyed the original, colorful illustrations. As a teacher, I could think of a million things to discuss with students, like poetry for example. While reading, My New Pet , with my son, I counted several different themes, or lessons, I could easily discuss with my son or students while reading, or afterwards in one of life’s many teachable moments.
