Summer Reading

If you're looking for a short and sweet summer read I've got the book for you. Why not read "Pure of Heart" for the second or third time, or dare I say first time.

While the kids are frolicking in the pool you deserve to sit back and relax with a book that will take you on a magical journey. Better yet, have the kids read it too. They get to exercise their mind and you get a pleasant conversation with your precious child.

Have a happy summer :)

Happy St. Patty's Day

Well it is one week until St. Patty's Day. How are you going to celebrate?

Here's and idea, treat yourself to an enjoyable read set in Ireland. Join the likes of leprechauns and unicorns in and adventure you're sure to love. "Pure of Heart" is a fun way to get lost for the evening. Add some Irish Soda Bread and you've got an evening the whole family can enjoy.

Remember we're all Irish on St. Patty's Day!

Pure Of Heart for Charity

Just a quick post today my loyal followers. :)
　
　
This March a dinner and chinese auction will be held in an effort to support the Parent Teacher Association. This is an event that is held annually and I am happy to report that “Pure Of Heart” will be part of a prize package being donated to help raise funds for the PTA at my children’s elementary school.

Another Reader Sends Her Thoughts

I received another message from a new reader. She hasn't even finished reading the book yet but was kind enough to tell me her thoughts on what she has read so far...

"Answer me this riddle, do Miread and the prince fall in love or does his crush on her help save the unicorn? will Sinead survive or are you teaching tweens that life doesn't always turn out the way you like? lol, I'm really enjoying the story." -Meredith Albert
