NEW RELEASE!!
Something new for me: children’s books. All books in the five-part Adventures with Anna Mak series are finished!
Anna’s a curious, adventurous young girl who gets into situations and must try to find her own way out. Each book has an activity to go along with each story. The books follow Anna from ‘kin-dee garden’ through second grade with summer adventures in between. The series is available through Amazon and book stores everywhere. Check out Anna’s web pages using the shortcut to the right. >>>>>

Looking for something a little different?
- Checkout my memoir, Small Town Girl. It’s a brief look back to growing up in the 1940s and 1950s. A great gift to share with todays’ youth.
- Sonnets for Ambrosia offers a book of poetry written over a hundred years ago by my preacher-grandfather to his soon-to-be wife. I complied it to honor his skill with words. It’s available from me through this website.
