Introducing My Two Picture Books

I'm thrilled to introduce my first two picture books to you.

First, just in time for Christmas, the best selling A Star in the Night is available at Guardian Angel Publishing, Barnes and Noble.com  and Amazon.com.

What's the book about?

David makes his way home on Christmas Eve and sees this is no ordinary night. Accompanied by a shimmering star and some tough decisions, David encounters three experiences that will change his view of Christmas forever. Join David on his wondrous journey home.



Excerpt:

A longhaired man with a beard clung to the curb inches away from the crowd of holiday shoppers. Softball sized holes engulfed his white clothes. The man spotted David and limped closer to him. A chill ran down David’s back. He knew he shouldn’t talk to strangers, and this one smelled terrible!


 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
The second book, Teresa's Shadow was released at the end of October.
 
One night at bedtime Teresa discovers Corky, a furry visitor, in her room. Corky is no ordinary monster. In fact he seems just as scared as Teresa. Teresa soon realizes she must help Corky get home. But how can she when she’s afraid of the dark and Corky is afraid of the light?




Excerpt:


Teresa shivered in her robe and clutched her stuffed animal, Mr. Froggie. “It’s not real,” she said to herself. But her heart pumped as if it were about to explode. Her boney legs wobbled like jelly. With Mr. Froggie in hand, Teresa took a deep breath and pulled the doorknob. Instead of an empty closet, she saw glassy, yellow eyes staring back at her.

Picture books have often given me great ideas for stories. I also used them to teach basic English to non-native speakers. They're great fun, however you use them.
