Last night I had the honor of reading to my son, Tristan, my book, Extra Special. You would think by now that I would have read it to him, but every time we read (everyday) he has his favorites that he wants to pick out. I love that he loves to read so when he says no to my suggestions, I just go with it. Well, last night, for the first time, Tristan wanted to read Extra Special! I was really curious as to how he would respond to it. I have never read it to anyone!! I was so happy that he loved it! I think he mostly just like the soccer balls on each page because he kept talking about kicking it in the goal, but that is ok! I will take it! He was really excited about the illustrations.... Thanks, Frank! There is nothing greater than seeing your child excited about books :) It was just a sweet moment for me...
until next time!!!

Thank you, Brandermill Church!
Thank you, Brandermill Church for hosting such an amazing "Dare to Dream" event! The event was centered around local Christian authors of all ages, coming together to share their "story" of how they became writers. I was honored to be able to attend such an event! Since I have just had my first book published, it was awesome to speak with other authors to hear how their journey has been. I got to hear about book talks and signings and promotions etc. It was really awesome! On top of that, after the formal part, they had a meet and greet where we got to talk with people and sell/sign books. It was really a nice morning.
Thank you so so much to those of you who came out to support the event and especially to those of you who came to support me. It meant to much to see family, high school friends, college friends and current co-workers take their Saturday morning to come out. THANK YOU. As I have mentioned before, "promoting" myself/my book has been hard for me because well, lets face it, you have to sell yourself. That is a tough thing for me to do! But, my family and friends are the BEST. I could not ask for better people in my life. God has blessed me RICHLY though these people, and for that, I am forever grateful.
In HIM I am thankful for all things.... big and little!
