This is another review choice that I grabbed for my husband. He commutes 40 minutes to and from school each day, so he’s started listening to books on CD. This was provided ~free of charge by t...

I've been planning to start this review by saying, “This is a really dumb book!!!!” But, I didn’t really want to mislead people. The reason I say it’s a really dumb book is because it...

By Allel Kheroufi This is actually a play, in four parts, and it’s for children. I enjoyed reading this play- picturing it done by young children, about the little duck Homer who just wants...

They are so professional! Of course, I did have a little chuckle at the “unsolicited manuscript submission” part. It kind of gave me the idea that maybe I should have used an agent? Oh ...

Let me start by saying that I love Shawn Johnson. What I can remember of her- from watching her in the 2008 summer Olympics in Beijing. What girl doesn’t love the gymnastics portion? I sure do!...

I like to read historical fiction. When I tried writing a novel, I tried writing about modern life, serious business…. that’s not what I like to read. Why would I try to write that? So, why...

So, I finally mailed and submitted my children’s book manuscript to Deseret Book! Wahoo!!! It’s been ready for so long, and I just kept putting it off because I was worried about writing a ...

No. At least not by my standards. More like lazy. Our house is up for sale… not sure why. I’ve just kind of hit a lull lately. Don’t really feel like doing a lot. BUT, I was able to listen ...

I’ve been a distracted writer lately. I haven’t been as diligent about writing my stories. I’m busy making my own. I love being a Mom. I love it! It’s the only thing I really ever wanted ...

Reading that title now, I realize it sounds odd. Lame, even. Oh well. It’s kind of how I’ve been feeling lately. It’s been a long time since I’ve worked on my books. I have spent a lot ...
