Piper's Gymnastics Halloween Day


A beautiful day at the park!


Annabelle, Layla, Piper and Lydia
The four sweetest children ever!


Annabelle was super excited, because my literary agent mailed her three books that he represents!  She had picked one up from the library and loved it...so I let him know he has good taste!  He sent her and advanced copy of book 2...not out until March 2019...She thinks she's HOT STUFF right now! It's a super cool series called Samantha Spinner..... Annabelle is hooked!  And also another book called Rad Girls Rock!

Still waiting to hear any news on an editor buying my book!  I never imagined it would be such a long and slow process!  Kevin still says he loves it and believes in it...so my fingers are remaining crossed!
