Hi Carrie thanks for your kind encouragement. With a story and a moral at the end it can be a tool for parents to enforce proper conduct and safety for young children. This can be an opportunity for shared time and an introduction to poetry. I'm quite excited about the reception to this effort, more to come.

Thanks Andrea always the cheerleader, much appreciated. Our marketing approach will be to schools and home school markets. I made a companion voice mp3 to go along with each book to aid in reading skills.

This platform stuff is very time consuming indeed. My new web site will be up soon with information on availability for public poetry readings, books for sale, a blog and a monthly subscription newsletter not to mention promotion through Facebook. Then I must find time to write, so many ideas crying for release. So much to do so little time.
