The illustrations for Wyatt’s new book are almost complete and there is a new character for you to meet: Mr. Wheeler, the school bus driver.

Are you wondering who else will be in the story? Keep checking back for more details!

It is coming…The next Wyatt book is just around the corner. Yes, Wyatt has been wondering about something new and it is a concern for many children, especially during the school year. In this illustration from the upcoming book, Wyatt has a new problem to solve. What do you think it is?

Don’t children love pupperts? My friend Ande is helping me show off the Wyatt puppet which is a perfect addition to the Wyatt The Wonder Dog Learns About Good Manners Book. For the Christmas season, you can purchase both the book and the puppet for $25.00. Make your child smile just like Ande is here. Thanks, Ande! You were a GREAT model!

What a week it has been! I spoke to the Cherokee County Delta Kappa Gamma chapter on Tuesday about literacy and my dream of publishing a book. Thank you to all the members for the opportunity and hospitality you extended.

Saturday was Wyatt’s first ever book signing event and we had such a great time! Pam Gardner the illustrator and I talked with children and adults at the Yawn’s Books and More in Canton Georgia. Everyone I talked with really enjoyed the event and commented that Yawn’s is the best kept secret in Canton!

Finally, on Sunday, Wyatt and I participated in the Holiday Bazaar at Kennesaw United Methodist Church, where we had a booth and sold not only Wyatt books but lots of other children’s books as well. Wyatt has been so popular that I will soon be ordering a new shipment of books! You can continue to order on this website or on Amazon.com . Thanks to everyone who has been so supportive!

The last two weeks I’ve been visiting second grade classes and talking about writing a book. Students at this age are not shy about asking questions. Sometimes they ask questions I haven’t even considered. Here’s a few samples: How old is Wyatt? When is his birthday? Is there going to be another Wyatt book? Could you put a lot of the stories together and make a chapter book?

Then there is the interesting but irrelevant information: I have a friend named Wyatt or My room is messier than Wyatt’s room.

Overall though, I’m very impressed with the thoughtfulness and the creativity of the questions. I do believe there may be some future writers in our midst!
