Proud Momma Moment

Received the email late yesterday that Tell Me a Story in 99 Words had been awarded a 2023 READER READY AWARD HONORABLE MENTION from Author Shout. I am over the moon with happiness!

This is my most recently published book and it is now a multi-award winner. 

 Thank you to everyone who inspires me to keep writing in genres outside my comfort zone. Now that I have dipped my toes into the water with this book, I look forward to wading in above the ankles!

 Experience the joy of being a “secret Santa” in October!  That’s right, we have the opportunity to “gift” someone a smile, a hug, or some inspiration all day today. How? By joining in the fun of:

RANDOM ACTS OF POETRY DAY

 You can leave one on a chair. You can slip one into a mailbox. You can tuck one in with your tip after lunch. You can orate to the critters at the park! Limits? We don’t see no stinkin’ limits! Unleash your poetic soul on an unsuspecting, but deserving world with unbridled joy. Be brave! Be clever! Be random!  Most of all, have fun. 

Regardless of where you may roam
