Excerpt first page: If You Were an Elf

A peek into the first page of my interactive storybook:
If You Were an Elf

If you were an Elf and needed to sleep, could you close your eyes and not make a peep?
You don't want to peek, but you just can't sleep.
Under your pillow is a list.
Is there someone you missed?
How will you sleep if your list is not complete?
If you were an Elf, what would you do?

Available! IF YOU WERE an ELF!














Because I love the magic of the holidays I wrote a children's book now available. IF YOU WERE an ELF is the first book from my Sailing to Sleep interactive storybook collection. Your child will imagine his/her bed turning into a ship, and their sheets the sail. 
The adventure will take an ELF (your child) with the help of a homeless reindeer to fill a Christmas list. But there is a twist with the list. Your child will be delighted with the interactive part of the book- making them be part of the story. Pure holiday fun!

It is offered both ebook (.99 cents) or print (under 10 dollars)
The ebook/kindle version can be loaded on any device, and Amazon offers a free Kindle app for you to use. IF you make a purchase, please leave a review. It helps a new book "be seen".
Happy Holidays!

Paragraph Planet


New writers! Paragraph Planet, http://bit.ly/33ZRUx5 is a great way to get published. They publish one 75 word paragraph a day, every day, 365 days a year since 2008. Pretty impressive, huh?

AND you don't actually have to be a new writer, because the list of authors is unreal. There many well-known authors who have had their paragraphs published there. 

Mine below was published several years ago. I am honored to be included in their list of many writers.

If You Were an Elf


A bit of holiday magic before bed comes alive with the help of an Elf and a special reindeer. If You Were an Elf, is the first book from my Sailing to Sleep storybook collection. 

Amazon ebook: https://amzn.to/2qrMxYZ
Amazon print book: https://amzn.to/2XpkeGM



The story begins with a Christmas list that is not complete. With the help of a homeless reindeer and the magic of an Elf, your child will set sail from land to sea. Imagine a child’s bed turns into a ship, and their sheets the sails! The adventure sails your child to help solve a problem while learning a lesson about the kindness of having a pet. Your child will love interacting throughout the story with questions like, “If you were an Elf, what would you do?”

See the little reindeer outside the window? That's Luci Lou! She is named after our own Luci Lou. They share a similar, but different story. Both are rescues. You will have to read the book to find out more!
