Books

I recently published my first book! I have been wanting to write a book for years and am proud to have finally done it. My book is about the circle of life with some flowers thrown in! I am close to an empty nest, and trying to deal with that. One day I was babysitting my new Granddaughter and she picked up my daughter's old watering can. My hubby filled it for her and she tried to start watering... which got me thinking. About how life had come full circle. So I took some pics of her playing with watering can, and started my book. I hope my book has a dual purpose. I hope it comforts those suffering with empty nest, and gives them hope, and I hope that little ones get exposed to the beauty and enjoyment of flowers. I hope you enjoy my book, and if you do purchase one, please leave a review on amazon! Thank you as always!

This book was inspired when my new granddaughter picked up my daughter's old watering can in my garage.

I am the mother of two older children, one that is 23, and one graduating from high school soon. So my empty nest is imminent, and I am feeling it.

So when my granddaughter picked up that watering can, I had an epiphany. Of how life goes on. And to be grateful for the time we have with our children, and then our grandchildren.

I wrote this book and illustrated it myself. I think this book has many purposes. Besides being pleasing to look at, I am hoping it is also comforting to those with older children. And to younger children, it shows different flower types. So children learn about flowers, and adults are comforted by how the torch is taken up by the next generation.

Book is 8.5" square, paperback, with 32 pages.

Price is with shipping included.

My first illustrated book!
I was commissioned by Andrea Smith to help her create her vision for a book about a horse and best friend. The book is about the bond between Andrea and her horse, Yankee. There is something special about the bond between a horse and rider, and Andrea captures this beautifully with her words. Although I have two books of my own that I am procrastinating on, this will be my first finished one. This book is in the works, and when its available, information will be on this page on where to purchase it.
It would make a lovely gift for any horse lovers in your life!
