Thank you for the imformation Jim. I will check into it when I'm ready to do my next book. I'm hoping for a new release in 2012. I'm just waiting to find an illustrator.

I like that idea. Thanks.

It boggles my mind.

Author Signing I was promoting my Halloween book about a rather impolite witch who only wants Kit Kats. A grandmother said her grandchild's a boy so it's not suitable. I, naturally, disagreed. Since when do boys not read books about witches because they are female? Since when do boys not like...

Glad I wrote two picture books with a female animal as the star. Violet, the sheep, has all sorts of adventures!

Re Beer Good's article. What a wonderfully informative post. The tag name "Beer good" does not do you justice.

Other Great Books I Loved in th 50's & 6o's The Secret World of Og by Pierre Berton Nancy Drew The Bobbsey (sp?) Twins

I loved Anne of Green Gables, particularly the first one.

Wonderful! If you need more ridiculous comments re gender from parents let me know. The sheep just happens to be a girl! The story is genderless.

Re: Genders That was a great post! Thanks for your input. I really appreciate the time it took you to write your response.:stars5:

Hi Carlos Congratulations on your good deals! I usually pay half the cover price if I go to a second hand bookstore. Less, at the library stores and book sales.

LOL It was just a joke. It's my birthday next week and I'd LIKE to be 25.

As a children's author, I get very frustrated when adults look at my books and say, "That's a girls' book. My son/grandson likes trucks, hockey, etc." It's like saying boys don't have a right to like the colour "pink". (One grandparent actually told me her son wouldn't allow her to buy books...

I actually don't remember a single book from my childhood from the pictures. I only remember the storylines. The same with my daughter's books (she's now 25, as am I coincidentally). I remember the story, not the pictures.

The Secret Garden and A Little Princess are my two favourites from when I was young. I still take them out to read every once in a while. I also loved The Secret World of Og by Pierre Berton. I also loved Anne of Green Gables.

Read ROOM by Emma Donahue. It's about a kidnap victim who has a son by her abductor. Jack grows up in the room they are kept in which is literally his world. The book is written from his five-year-old perspective. You won't be able to put it down. It is fiction but is there are true cases...

Or not. Ten mistakes no longer exists. Oh well, I probably made them already. :)

Very informative. I'm going to check out the list of 10 self-promotion mistakes.

Also know as the Legend of Page Six. Whoops! Lucky I didn't make THAT mistake for real.

Well, I see that no link to my blog showed up in my initial post. Apparently I'm not supposed to show it anyways because it's advertisement. So I will give you a summary of what I did to rectify the error. (Unfortunately my thread was left hanging without that link. Ha, ha, no pun intended.) I...
