I was fortunate enough to get my hands on an advanced copy of NFL agent <a href="https://www.instagram.com/agentnicolelynn/" target="_blank">Nicole Lynn</a>'s new book entitled, <b><i><a href="https://www.amazon.com/Agent-You-Show-Succeed-Terms/dp/0785238042/ref=sr_1_1?crid=3HQUYWD8HI768&dchild=1&keywords=agent+you+nicole+lynn&qid=1625333971&sprefix=agent+you%2Caps%2C193&sr=8-1" target="_blank">Agent You: Show Up, Do the Work, and Succeed On Your Own Terms (Harper Horizon, July 13, 2021)</a>.</i></b> Now if you don't know who she is, then let me get you up to speed. </p><p>Nicole is the first Black female sports agent to represent a first-round pick in the history of the NFL Draft. Her client was none other than <a href="https://www.instagram.com/thequinnenwilliams/" target="_blank">Quinnen Williams</a> (DL) of the New York Jets who was selected 3rd overall in the 2019 class. The way that story unfolded will tug at your heartstrings, but you will have to read the book for yourself. She also reps Houston's own <a href="https://www.instagram.com/jalenhurts/" target="_blank">Jalen Hurts</a> (Alabama '18, OU '19), quarterback for the Philadelphia Eagles (Yes, I am biased. H-Town represent!).</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi0uox6OX7vYITI0DrHqR5wtDvSHFgzGM5duYwtIxZDpF6cIIriuWKmv6Ov_wcuvB6twz20-JUSFnFN-9bBIme8WlyByP66CCw_AQmgJHanb0OawuPhQNW0ONjiRBjtEceM-6fB-HhaiQg/s385/Agent+Nicole+Lynn+and+Quinnen+Williams+-+2019+Draft.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" target="_blank"><img alt="2019 NFL Draft" border="0" data-original-height="260" data-original-width="385" height="270" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi0uox6OX7vYITI0DrHqR5wtDvSHFgzGM5duYwtIxZDpF6cIIriuWKmv6Ov_wcuvB6twz20-JUSFnFN-9bBIme8WlyByP66CCw_AQmgJHanb0OawuPhQNW0ONjiRBjtEceM-6fB-HhaiQg/w400-h270/Agent+Nicole+Lynn+and+Quinnen+Williams+-+2019+Draft.JPG" title="Agent Nicole Lynn and Quinnen Williams" width="400" /></a></div><p>After graduating from the University of Oklahoma and a brief stint on Wall Street, Nicole returned to OU and earned a law degree. While working as a corporate lawyer, she got certified as an NFL agent. She worked both jobs full-time for years, found time to get married somewhere along the way to <a href="https://www.instagram.com/gabe.lynn/?hl=en" target="_blank">Coach Gabe Lynn</a> (OU Alum and DB coach at Houston Baptist University), shot a pilot for a tv show about her life, won a few awards, and wrote this book. She recently took the reins as Director of Football Operations at Klutch Sports Group. Oh, yeah. She is busy-busy. <a href="https://www.agentnicolelynn.com/about" target="_blank">Check out her bio here.</a></p><p>If you know me, then you know how I love a good self-help book. The best ones address all of the questions that need answers: Who? What? When? Where? How? And, most importantly: Why? In <b><i>Agent You</i></b>, Nicole teaches you how to do for yourself what she does for her clients everyday. She is a gatekeeper, financial advisor, life coach, relocation specialist, cheerleader, mentor, and advocate. Each chapter breaks down the 13 critical actions that we must all take to position ourselves for success--however, we define it.</p><p>I literally read this book from cover to cover in about 3.5 hours yesterday (Did I mention that Gabrielle Union wrote the foreword?). In the intro, you will learn Nicole's "why" and how to discover what your purpose is. She will then invite you on a journey through each chapter where she shares anecdotes from her life and the lessons she has learned along the way. My favorite parts of this book are the exercises at the end of each chapter. They make you think about what you read and then put it into action.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/CFIJEIUJ9ui/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" target="_blank"><img border="0" data-original-height="556" data-original-width="517" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj_rowpj9qMLs26b4AkQl-8QHzdFvx0mxiXYejRCjCHNAP0C3gzwGbjyyn3WKzkEnhXbJjfCwcEfuORmGv7X4aR-7IZOLer9YzygYMyKOHVCgaTK3aAIqZW0gqyH_5D8nq8-ZYxOePTlVw/w373-h400/Agent+Nicole+Lynn+and+50+Cent.JPG" width="373" /></a></div><p>Here's an example: In chapter 2, Nicole talks about getting your dream job. Sometimes life happens and your dreams can be deferred. The good news is that you don't have to stand by waiting for an opportunity to present itself. The assignment is to compile a list of 10 small things that you may work towards in the interim. The best way to eat an elephant is one bite at a time. Be diligent. When you get to the bottom of your list, start a new one. When the opportunity does present itself, you will be ready.</p><p>The super-agent doesn't mince words either. She shares many cringe-worthy moments throughout the book that she turned into triumph. In chapter 3, she talks about being your authentic self. We hear that all the time though, right? But Nicole really spells out the perils of not having a "me statement," not knowing what you believe in, not having a true sense of what you stand for AND against, and not knowing what you want your legacy to be. Every decision that you make is rooted in the knowledge of self. Do the work in this chapter and you will be on your way to figuring all of this out.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/CDmaQPqpcdt/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" target="_blank"><img border="0" data-original-height="569" data-original-width="368" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg9Iqjtw6LxEzQIfuVVVr-bt1ULEntu4AGoq8v6YKZVeDqhu8DGJMqJVGnfS0fKYPRmyRFP7b4F5mrA8vDNSdThCBUZFUM3RCMVhsDZuJzd5UdHS_i9_U8k3bjuqqLR-UwI-P5e6eu7DY0/w259-h400/Agent+Nicole+Lynn+and+Jalen+Hurts.JPG" width="259" /></a></div><p>There are some parts of <i><b>Agent You</b></i> that will stay with me forever. Nicole talks about why Black women should never "cover" and why we should take our "seat at the table" sooner (no pun intended) than later. She talks about the real definition of self-care and what to do when you lose. And the chapter about letting go and letting God? Whew!</p><p>I could go on and on, but I dare not stand in the way of your blessing. Get the book. Read it. Let me know what you think.</p><p><i><b>Agent You</b></i> is <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Agent-You-Show-Succeed-Terms/dp/0785238042/ref=sr_1_1?crid=3HQUYWD8HI768&dchild=1&keywords=agent+you+nicole+lynn&qid=1625333971&sprefix=agent+you%2Caps%2C193&sr=8-1" target="_blank">available for pre-order on Amazon.com</a> now. </p><p>Remember: Keep your pen to the paper!

<br />
I am trying out <a href="https://medium.com/" target="_blank">Medium's new platform</a>. If you haven't heard, they are taking a different approach to pay-for-performance writing. Creatives can either post articles for the general public in exchange for building a following or post content exclusively for Medium's paid members and earn based on your article's popularity.<br />
<br />
It's too soon for me to tell how lucrative it might be, but I have been able to import evergreen articles from my portfolio. This platform seems to be a pretty cool way to hone your skills, test out your content, and build your following.<br />
<br />
Yesterday I posted a long-form personal essay that wasn't "quite the right fit" for the publication I pitched entitled, "Milroy was here: The story of how my cankles drove me to otherwise become an overachiever." Thought I would share an excerpt of it here.<br />
<br />
If it catches your fancy, <a href="https://medium.com/@raychellemuhammad/milroy-was-here-the-story-of-how-my-cankles-drove-me-to-otherwise-become-an-overachiever-6bcf3886cbdb" target="_blank">consider reading the entire post on Medium</a>. If you don't want to join Medium, let me know in the comments below. If I get 25 or more requests, I'll post the essay in its entirety here. Either way, I appreciate your continued support!<br />
<br />
Keep your pen to the paper! Remember, inspiration is everywhere...<br />

<i>"Out of nowhere, when I was 10 years old, my left foot ballooned. It wasn’t the result of an allergy attack or a sports injury and I didn’t have a known chronic ailment as a precursor. For reasons unknown, I had developed this swollen foot and calf and nobody could tell me why.</i><br />
<i><br /></i>
<i>"This would be the beginning of a journey into endless prodding, needle pricks, and blood tests which yielded very little in the way of a reason why it happened. What I did know was that on top of being the tallest and thinnest Black girl in my class, I was now also the weirdest.</i><br />
<i><br /></i>
<i>"Being deformed all of a sudden immediately began to shape my self-worth. There was something wrong with me and maybe I wouldn’t be accepted for who I was when people found out. Dressing the way normal people do in shorts, dresses, sandals, and flats put my feet on front street. I had to find a way to compensate for my flaw.</i><br />

<i>"I was well into my adult years before I could give my condition a name. Doctors scratched their heads trying to figure out how I could be on the planet for over 10 years before it manifested itself. They called it lymphedema, which is just swelling due to a blockage in my lymphatic system.</i><br />
<i><br /></i>
<i>"Trying to explain my diagnosis to the average person, especially fifth and sixth-graders, only caused me more angst and frustration. Now I know that what I have is called Milroy’s disease. It is a congenital defect and if anyone wants to know more, I can just tell them to Google it..."</i><br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://www.inquisitr.com/4823712/the-criminal-complaint-terry-crews-filed-against-adam-venit-has-been-tossed-by-the-la-county-district-attorney/" target="_blank"><img border="0" data-original-height="748" data-original-width="796" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg2xLg2MZ51c4WIQgouTDhe4O3Ztc1VGZ8DkFi4UqYV-OUmDSoT9TA4qGNeKd8w4S6w54v1Ph7LDsdvTSwsKVu4UOKmsD5GCHDZjMWnwE3JoQsO_2Sp14Ro3DpphowqjOaGjXMKRbqhsKg/s320/Terry+Crews+Inquisitr+article+on+Google.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>
Our success as writers is rooted in creating strong content. But how good is a story if nobody reads it?<br />
<br />
In the digital world, if Google or Bing doesn't pick up your story then your readership will be significantly lower. And let's face it--we live in a world where news has to be delivered quickly and concisely.<br />
<br />
After all, the news cycle waits for no one. If writers can't boast authorship of a couple of viral clips, then the chances of getting more work are reduced significantly.<br />
<br />
I recently completed a writer's internship at the <i>Inquisitr</i> and became a regular contributor. Compensation for freelance contributors is based solely on article performance. In other words, the more folks read and share your work, the more you get paid.<br />
<br />
The good news is that there are residual earnings for every news story you write. So as long as you are active on the site and a minimum number of people click through and read your stories, you can make money.<br />
<br />
I was excited today to do a quick Google search on Terry Crews just to see if there were any updates to the story I wrote on March 12 entitled, "<a href="https://www.inquisitr.com/4823712/the-criminal-complaint-terry-crews-filed-against-adam-venit-has-been-tossed-by-the-la-county-district-attorney/" target="_blank">The Criminal Complaint Terry Crews Filed Against Adam Venit Has Been Tossed By The LA County District Attorney</a>." To my surprise, my article appeared in the search engine results as a top story.<br />
<br />
Giving credit where credit is due, the <i>Inquisitr</i> does a really good job of teaching its writers SEO strategies and social media promotion that will help give articles more reach. It makes me feel pretty good to see my efforts paying off.<br />
<br />
A few tips to try include strong use of keywords in titles, subtitles, and article text; appropriate tags; a great lead image that is properly sourced and captioned; appropriate article length for your targeted audience; and, as always, writing a great story.<br />
<br />
Once you publish the story and editing is complete, start sharing to your social sites and groups wherever appropriate.<br />
<br />
Know that this kind of writing platform is a marathon, not a sprint. If you are looking for a get-rich-quick scheme, this ain't it. However, the <i>Inquisitr</i> has been a great place to hone my skills as a news writer and learn some best practices on promoting my work. I'll let you know how it goes. :)<br />
<br />
In the meantime, feel free to get caught up on my musings over there by <a href="https://www.inquisitr.com/author/raychellemuhammad/" target="_blank">following this link to my author page</a>. If you see something that interests you, give it a read. If you have a friend or two who might want to read it, feel free to share. Thanks in advance!<br />

<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: inherit; margin-bottom: 1.5em;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">From the Clinton Crime Bill to mass-murderer Dylan Roof, we as Black people seem take a blind eye to the never-ending atrocities committed against us. Before the bodies of our loved ones are even taken to the morgue, some insensitive member of the press sticks a mic in our faces asking us if we forgive the killers. After over 450+ years of slavery, <a href="https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=3&cad=rja&uact=8&ved=0ahUKEwiAvZvBssfRAhVOySYKHQevB3oQFggiMAI&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.ferris.edu%2Fjimcrow%2Fwhat.htm&usg=AFQjCNEA95iYBIbVEt1QogtJXUjUbwy7cQ&sig2=8xbn13GwcXJXsdRvLQ94qA&bvm=bv.144224172,d.eWE" style="background-color: transparent; box-sizing: inherit; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank">Jim Crow</a>, and present-day institutional racism, Black folk are still expected to turn the other cheek. And when we do, they slap us on the other one. </span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: inherit; margin-bottom: 1.5em;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Trump said it right during his campaign when he pointed out that Black people have no jobs, education, or money. They have no intention of paying Black folks a dime in reparations. No 40 acres or a mule for us. He wanted us to accept our deplorable condition and vote for him. And a few of us did--to the <a href="https://mic.com/articles/159402/here-s-a-break-down-of-how-african-americans-voted-in-the-2016-election#.HATbwnOg4" style="background-color: transparent; box-sizing: inherit; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank">tune of 8%</a>. But, really--what do we have to lose by standing up for ourselves once and for all?</span></div>

<br />
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: inherit; margin-bottom: 1.5em;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Once we got off the plantation and moved on from sharecropping, Black people were thriving in <a href="http://www.freedmensbureau.com/" style="background-color: transparent; box-sizing: inherit; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank">freedman's towns</a> across America. We had music, culture, refinement, a <a href="http://www.ebony.com/black-history/the-destruction-of-black-wall-street-405" style="background-color: transparent; box-sizing: inherit; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank">Black Wall Street</a>, a Harlem Renaissance. We educated our children in our own schools with teachers who looked just like the students. Black people did everything from building their homes and churches to farming and buying land. We made being separate better than equal. According to <a href="http://atlantablackstar.com/2013/12/09/5-ways-integration-underdeveloped-black-america/5/" style="background-color: transparent; box-sizing: inherit; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank"><i>The Atlanta Black Star</i></a>, integration reversed that trend and destroyed most of our progress. Did we forget that we now have and have always had everything we need to be a thriving people?</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">If there was ever a time in history that racists should be called out, it is now. Our focus and attention should be on what we can do for ourselves. We must rediscover our value, reconnect with our rich heritage, and rebuild our communities. If we are going to sit down at the table every time they call, we must go with not just an agenda, but a list of demands. They must be put on notice that Black folk have a new regime of their own. It's called the liberation of our people.</span><br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjoZRzSQyqyp0oQmnssg5PzhLBzK7c20ZGfgKV-CqfGV9KeRQ3xiTG-eAizUkdj1DJOYdLmsZ-yLzkFnCw4W7wxvFTMU6NZ0I6kE_jhvY-DdM3QVH-Ox76PSsKsMC3FXG_DFztpQz3VUks/s1600/Steps-to-Success-628x353.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="179" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjoZRzSQyqyp0oQmnssg5PzhLBzK7c20ZGfgKV-CqfGV9KeRQ3xiTG-eAizUkdj1DJOYdLmsZ-yLzkFnCw4W7wxvFTMU6NZ0I6kE_jhvY-DdM3QVH-Ox76PSsKsMC3FXG_DFztpQz3VUks/s320/Steps-to-Success-628x353.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
As the first day of the new year comes to a close and the hype leading up to it starts to fizzle, it is high time that we address the elephant in the room. New Year's resolutions. Though well-meaning, many of us have told ourselves some big fat lies about how this year is going to be better than the last. And the one before that. And still, the one before that. This is the year that we become the best version of ourselves. This is the year that we lose the weight. This is the year that we finally write that book, start or grow our businesses, and kick that dreaded smoking habit that everybody keeps nagging us about.<br />
<br />
Why haven't we managed to check at least one of these things off our lists thus far? Consider this. Before we can change our conditions and solve our problems, there must be a shift in our thinking which will lead to a change in the folks in our circle. We have to be willing to let go of people and behaviors that do not serve us well. Let's face it. Not everybody is meant to travel with us along every leg of the journey. Their doubts, insecurities, and fears magnify our own and keep us off the path of progress. If we decide that we will only permit positive, forward-thinking thoughts to take up residence in our minds, then we will only permit positive, forward-thinking people to take up space in our lives.<br />
<br />
Here are 10 behaviors that we need to change immediately. That's ASAP. Right now. Today. More like yesterday, really. And pronto. The sooner we send these spirit-killing, brain-draining activities packing, the better off we will all be. Here goes nothing.<br />
<br />
1) <b>Self-Hatred:</b> If we don't love ourselves, NOBODY else will. We must stop telling ourselves that we are unworthy of our blessings. We have gifts, skills, and talents that we have an obligation to use. We must rid ourselves of people who do not recognize and celebrate our value. Tell them and the little haters inside to kick rocks. Oh, yeah. They need to take those who try to hold our pasts against us with them. None of their BS is welcome here.<br />
<br />
2) <b>Fear:</b> We must have faith and just take the leap already. We must be decisive and move out like what we aspire to do is already done. The best part of success is failure. It is better to do our best and learn a lesson than it is to do nothing and have regrets.<br />
<br />
3) <b>Jealousy and Envy:</b> We must immediately stop worrying about what other people are saying and doing. What is in front of us requires our full and complete attention. What we have been blessed with is enough to accomplish whatever it is that we set out to do. What is ours nobody else can take and what somebody else has is for them and them alone. Put on the blinders and keep running.<br />
<br />
4) <b>Procrastination:</b> No one is promised the next 5 minutes, so I'm not going to waste time explaining this one. Get up off your duff and get moving. We got work to do.<br />
<br />
5) <b>Lack of Discipline:</b> We are the boss of ourselves and we must take ownership for our lives. There are certain things that we must do consistently to make progress. It might be studying, writing, training, planning, etc. Having discipline means that we do what we need to do whether anybody is watching or holding us accountable. No babysitters needed.<br />
<br />
6) <b>Lack of Focus:</b> This is a common problem that we can tackle if we simply put clear, measurable, goals down on paper and assign deadlines to them. An example might be that we must start writing by 9 am and reach at least 1,000 words by 12 noon every weekday. As a safeguard, there might be a self-imposed ban on social media until the goal is reached. Oh, and that includes anything or anybody else that takes our focus off the tasks at hand.<br />
<br />
7) <b>Entitlement:</b> Look, nobody owes anybody anything. Whatever it is that we say we want, we must earn. That is all.<br />
<br />
8) <b>Pettiness:</b> Every minute we spend engaging somebody in foolishness is a minute we could have and should have spent doing something positive and productive. Let small people be small. Their diminutive lives are none of our business. Small minds breed small results. If you want the little bit of something that they have, then do the little bit of something that they do.<br />
<br />
9) <b>Dishonesty:</b> If our efforts are not yielding the results we desire, we have to be willing to face some hard truths about ourselves. We must also strive to be honest in our dealings with others. Our successes and failures are wrapped up in how we play the game. Being deceptive is a recipe for disaster, likened to a house of cards built on a mound of sand. We all have mirrors. Let us use them, shall we?<br />
<br />
10)<b>Indecisiveness:</b> There is nothing more powerful than a made-up mind. Let's make a decision and move out on it to make it a reality. We can have whatever kind of life we want if we just choose it.<br />
<br />
I pray that you and yours will have peace and prosperity this year and in the years to come. And remember, keep your pen to the paper! Inspiration is everywhere...<br />
<br />

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">1) Welcome back to The Writer's Block, Sheri! Please tell everyone a bit about who you are and where you live and work.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">When I was last interviewed on The Writer's Block in 2012, I was preparing for the release of my second children's picture book, <b><i>The Little Gnome</i></b>. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">OMG ... so much magic has unfolded since 2012!

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">I'm currently working on a few potential book projects as well as expanding The Whimsical World of Sheri Fink brand globally. I want to bring the empowering messages of my books to kids worldwide. I love speaking to inspire and plan to do even more in 2017. One of my joys today is mentoring aspiring authors to achieve their dreams of publishing their books. It's an honor to nurture the spark of creativity in others and to see their books and their careers blossom and grow.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">5) How did The Writer's Block help you promote yourself? What advice would you offer to aspiring author/illustrators?</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; background-color: white; color: black; font-style: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">The Writer's Block was one of my earliest author interviews and I was grateful for the opportunity to share. </span></div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; background-color: white; color: black; font-style: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; background-color: white; color: black; font-style: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">My best advice is to focus on what you really want without watering down your dream. Don't settle for safety or mediocrity ... Get in touch with the passion for achieving your goal every day and visualize yourself already having achieved it. Feel the feelings you'll feel when it's come true. Marinate in the juicy goodness of living your dream. Then, take action each day toward your goal and keep going no matter what. You are limitless and everything is possible if you stay in alignment with your highest vision and continually take inspired action in that direction. It's hard work, but your dream is worth it. You will get there and it will be even better than you imagined! </span></div>

This former educator shares with us her mission to write positive, self-affirming stories for young people about mutual respect and following the Golden Rule.</i><br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">1) Welcome back, Sherrill! Please tell everyone a bit about who you are and where you live and work.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">I am a former teacher and grandmother of ten, and the author of eight published rhymed children's stories which have received forty-five 2011-16 National and International awards. I am also a playwright with seven published plays for elementary school children, which have been performed internationally in over 20 countries. Most of my books try to teach something, like good manners and caring for others.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Married for 56 years, my spouse and I are now retired, and live in New Hope, PA for half the year and then travel in our RV from coast to coast the other half to spend time with our children and grandchildren. I have had a varied career: I’ve been a teacher and coach, a professional newspaper sports writer and photographer, a dinner theatre stage manager, and a business administrator. Now I have time to write, when I’m not marketing (which is the other half of writing.)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">2) What were you working on when we spoke last? (Interview link: <a href="http://raychelle-writes.blogspot.com/2012/05/writers-block-interviews-sherrill.html">http://raychelle-writes.blogspot.com/2012/05/writers-block-interviews-sherrill.html</a>)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">When we spoke last, I was just releasing my 4th book (<b><i>Gimme-Jimmy</i></b>) and had won 8 awards. Since then, I have doubled the books to 8, and have totaled 45 awards (so far.) I have found that entering contests has been my most successful means of marketing my books, and if you’d like to see a complete list, I will include it at the end of this interview, or please check out my website. The subliminal message of all my books remains consideration for others – disguised as fun stories – and because of my awesome illustrator, Kalpart, I have been able to use my characters in subsequent books. This is especially fun for me when I am reading another of my books at a school and a child remarks, “Oh look! I see <b><i>Gimme-Jimmy</i></b>!!”</span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><b><i>Manner-Man</i></b> followed <b><i>Gimme-Jimmy</i></b>, which along with <b><i>The Magic Word</i></b>, I term my “manners” books. <b><i>Manner-Man</i></b> is a superhero who helps children cope with bullies and teaches them to look within themselves for their own superhero. <b><i>Manner-Man</i></b> includes both the characters Jimmy and Elisabeth – and also the illustrations include some of my CureJM kids. All of my books are part of a Fundraiser for the CureJM Foundation where 50% of the cost of the books goes to CureJM. Juvenile Myositis is an incurable children’s autoimmune disease, and many of the kids have interacted with me. Both Addie and Cassie are part of the <b><i>Manner-Man</i></b> illustrations!

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">3) You have been one busy lady! Catch us up on what you have done since then.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">After<b><i> Manner-Man</i></b> in 2013 came <b><i>My Fingerpaint Masterpiece</i></b> in 2014 which has won 9 awards including both a Gold Medal in Children’s K-3 as well as an Illustration Award in the Reader’s Favorites contest. It’s all about perspective and perception and is told from the perspective of an unidentified child (boy? girl?) for all the illustrations are what the child sees. There are also many hidden objects in the “masterpiece”! I usually get a 50-50 vote when I poll the kids at the conclusion of reading the book to them. Not surprisingly, it seems the boys vote for a boy and the girls vote for a girl! I consider that a success!!!</span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><b><i>Mice & Spiders & Webs…Oh My!</i></b>, published in 2015, has won 5 awards including the recent Global eBook Gold Medal. It emphasizes the importance of good listening, as well as being an introduction to computers. A child is worried about returning to school since her teacher had mentioned they would soon have mice and spiders and webs in the classroom, but only for the girls. Rosemary discovers that this means a computer mouse and the internet web, but why only females? Could she have misunderstood again?</span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><b><i>The Golden Rule</i></b> is my current 2016 book and is doing very well, since it already has 6 awards including the recent Book Excellence Award Gold Medal, a Children’s Literary Classics Silver Medal, and a Mom’s Choice Award. The focus is very direct in this book: Treat others the way you’d like to be treated. All of my books try to teach children to be nice. This book shows children ways to do that. When I read to the children, I like to ask them, “Have you done something nice for someone today?” Fortunately I usually get a nice show of hands!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">4) That's awesome, Sherrill! What is next for you?</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">My next and perhaps final children’s book for release in 2017 is <b><i>My Little Angel</i></b>. It’s for a slightly younger child, and is obviously for those who believe in angels! It’s about a little guardian angel who helps a child throughout the day. All of my books are multi-cultural, but at the request of a fan I have included a couple of animals in the illustrations in this one. Extended family, you know!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">5) How did The Writer's Block help you promote yourself? What advice would you offer to aspiring author/illustrators?</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">I loved being able to participate in The Writer’s Block earlier, and am so happy to become a part of it again. It’s lovely to be able to share my books and the emphasis on being kind… We seem to need the reminder to get along with others – especially in this political environment. As one of my thoughtful fans commented about <b><i>The Golden Rule</i></b>…”This is how we change the world…”</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">My advice to authors/illustrators is to be sure you find your niche in the children’s book world, and to send a positive message. This is the same advice I offered in my previous interview, with the addition that it is very important to also be sure to include multicultural characters and illustrations so that ALL children can identify with your books!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>

Fun facts: Joey is a super-bad book promoter. His interview on The Writer's Block has been the most viewed post on my blog since February 2012. And he has a thing for coffee and chocolate.

<span style="background-color: transparent; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">It’s been four and a half years since my debut on The Writer’s Block, and obviously a lot has changed since then. I was looking forward to a year filled with many interviews with authors from many different genres. I was just getting my feet wet with a couple of short stories published in anthologies. I had a few story ideas that I thought were going to make it to the market, but I allowed a lack of discipline and confidence get in the way.</span></span></div>

<span style="background-color: transparent; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">In 2012, my published writings were contributions to larger works.

Those titles are “Cardinal Rule,” “Children in the City of the Fallen Towers,” “To Catch a Book Cover Model,” “Swiggers,” and “8 Simple Twitter Tips for Authors.”</span></span></div>

<span style="background-color: transparent; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">I’ve decided to focus on publishing shorter works of literature for more reasons than we have space and time for. One reason would be because there is a group of readers who are looking to begin and finish a story within an hour or so and still get a proper beginning, middle and end. I personally like the challenge of the short story.</span></span></div>

It is the story of a young woman wrongfully accused of an old man’s death while struggling to move up and out of the neighborhood that she calls home. </span></span></div>

<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">1) Welcome back to The Writer's Block, Stephen! Please tell our new readers a bit about who you are and where you live and work.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">I am an American artist/videomaker and writer. I live in Singapore and Bali.Ten years ago I wrote my first book.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">2) What were you working on when we spoke last? (Interview link:<a data-saferedirecturl="https://www.google.com/url?hl=en&q=http://raychelle-writes.blogspot.com/2012/08/the-writers-block-interviews-stephen.html&source=gmail&ust=1479472361651000&usg=AFQjCNF2pF3EnU8ep2CwSnT-dzawFt80Hw" href="http://raychelle-writes.blogspot.com/2012/08/the-writers-block-interviews-stephen.html" style="color: #1155cc;" target="_blank">http://<span class="m_1739720968667299998gmail-il">raychelle</span>-writes.b<wbr></wbr>logspot.com/2012/08/the-writer<wbr></wbr>s-block-interviews-stephen.<wbr></wbr>html</a> )</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Well, that interview was a refreshing reminder of what my life was like then! The book which was then called being called <i><b>Tiong Bahru</b></i> is now called <i><b>i ate tiong bahru</b></i>...and it has become a national bestseller in Singapore.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222;">

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">3) Catch us up on what you have done since then.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Since that interview, I have done very little marketing and a lot of writing. I completed the following books: <i><b>Furikake, Contact With Shadow, Bali Wave Ghost</b> </i>and <b><i>Flame Magne</i>t</b>, which is a "secret project " that could lead to a new way authors and readers connect. All of these books are on Amazon, but only one,<i> <b>i ate tiong bahru</b>,</i> has been printed.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">4) What is next for you?</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">I am working on the follow up to<b> <i>i ate tiong bahru</i></b>, which will be called <i><b>tiong bahru mouth. tiong bahru mouth</b> </i>could be two books: one consisting of photographs I have been taking of Tiong Bahru, the other a collection of short stories. I should mention that I am also very interested in virtual reality. I have two projects related to this, one at<a data-saferedirecturl="https://www.google.com/url?hl=en&q=http://www.gallery.sg&source=gmail&ust=1479472361651000&usg=AFQjCNEPQa7Hum_reavL_BseHkgBu7VPWA" href="http://www.gallery.sg/" style="color: #1155cc;" target="_blank"> www.gallery.sg</a>, the other at <a data-saferedirecturl="https://www.google.com/url?hl=en&q=https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id%3Dcom.Hiverlab.BeachRd%26hl%3Den&source=gmail&ust=1479472361651000&usg=AFQjCNGzqOsJLKbprwFl-EjdtQN1rYtlnQ" href="https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.Hiverlab.BeachRd&hl=en" style="color: #1155cc;" target="_blank">https://play.google.com/<wbr></wbr>store/apps/details?id=com.<wbr></wbr>Hiverlab.BeachRd&hl=en</a> I hope to be able to work on other projects like these.</span></div>

<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">5) How did The Writer's Block help you promote yourself? </span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">(The) Writer's Block will always be one of my strongest memories related to ebooks and epublishing. My experience with Raychelle was friendly and very professional, in that her blog was one of the first places where my work as a writer was shared. And, Raychelle also kindly wrote a review on Amazon, which I think was the first.These were both very encouraging!</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">6) What advice would you offer to aspiring author/illustrators?</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">If you are considering becoming a full-time writer, ask yourself if you are prepared to go through very difficult times. There will be the difficulty of creating great work and then there will be the difficulty of paying the bills, not to mention getting the work in front of readers.To paraphrase Tolstoy and to repeat what I wrote for Writer's Block many years ago, ink is blood.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222;">

But the most interesting project I’ve embarked on to date is <b><i>BALANCE</i></b>; it’s a Y/A novel based around the drugs scene for teens. Publishers didn’t take it on so it has gone through my Agent, Bath Literary Agency and is out now on White Glove. It’s hard work getting it out there, but worth every minute if it gets kids talking and supporting each other in dealing with what is cultural fact of life. It’s published under the pseudonym, Kit White.</span></span></div>

I've been a resident Georgian for about 12 years now and I practice as a licensed Physical Therapist by day, and pursue my writings of fiction by night. When I'm not writing or working, I also dabble in acting and modeling, making appearances on a few shows and commercials.</span><br />

<div style="font-size: 16px;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">When we last spoke, Raychelle, I was working on my science fiction series, <i><b>The Star-Crossed Saga</b></i>. At the time, book one, <i><b>Protostar</b> </i>was released and I was in the middle of a book tour inn the S.E. as well as making a few stops with my uncle, Bill Cosby. Ironically enough, as I am completing this interview, I am currently ramping up for my release of <i><a href="https://vimeo.com/185804283" target="_blank"><b>Solstice</b></a></i>, which is the last book of the three part series. It is truly both exhilarating and sad to complete a series but it is something I've longed to do for a while.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">As you can see I've been incredibly busy. I've started my own production company called <a href="http://cosbymediaproductions.com/" target="_blank">Cosby Media Productions</a>, a three fold division company that focuses on publishing books, and then taking them to the next level of entertainment via TV or film. Currently, we have <i><b>Protostar</b></i> slated for production, as well as some other properties we have ownership of via our novel publishing branch. Currently we have over 20 books in our stable, with three more releases slated for the winter of 2016. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Our strategic partnerships allow us to make advances in the entertainment industry that we are grateful for and our prayer is that God moves us further so that we can offer entertainment that both speaks to the mind and souls. I also released a health book, <i><b>Fat Free for Life: 13 Principles of Guaranteed Weight Loss and Ultimate Health</b></i> through Siloam Publishing. So far, I've written and published over 10 novels myself since 2012.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">With 2017 looming in the distance, I really want to continue to hone my writing and acting skills. Both have become huge passions of mine and I dream to be successful in both. Also, business with physical therapy is still very profitable and as long as I can continue to help others with my hands, I feel it's the gifting that was God-given and I always welcome the opportunity to do that as well. <i><b><a href="http://tvone.tv/video/husband-father-murderer/" target="_blank">(*Check Braxton out on TV One's "Fatal Attraction!")</a></b></i></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">5) How did The Writer's Block help you promote yourself? What advice would you offer to aspiring author/illustrators? </span></div>
<div style="font-size: 16px;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div>
<div style="font-size: 16px;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">The Writer's Block helped to facilitate networking with other authors, such as yourself, Raychelle, and that was encouraging. We, as content creators, need to reach out to one another and offer advice to further one another's careers. If I had to give young authors any advice, it would be to keep reading; especially in the areas and genres in which you write. There is no substitute for creativity and many times I get inspired from those who have gone before me and have done great things. </span></div>
<div style="font-size: 16px;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Greetings, All!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">I am excited about the month of November as it brings with it a trip down memory lane with some of our most popular alums from The Writer's Block! (More on that in a few days!) </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">It is also an opportunity for writers and would-be-writers to finally get their novels out of their heads and down on paper! <a href="http://nanowrimo.org/" target="_blank">National Novel Writing Month</a> (or <a href="http://nanowrimo.org/" target="_blank">NaNoWriMo</a>) kicks off tomorrow. It is time to throw away your edit button and commit to writing 50,000 words by the 11th hour on November 30th.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Sound daunting? Don't over-think it. Choose one of those great ideas, do a bit of pre-writing, and see where your imagination takes you. This is great practice for many of us who get easily sidetracked, lose interest, or need a bit of support and motivation to finish the job. You will have the opportunity to meet up with writers both online and face-to-face for write-ins, discussions, and critiques. <a href="http://nanowrimo.org/" target="_blank">Learn more here</a>!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Don't expect to have a polished best-seller on December 1st! You could have a great first-draft, though (smile). Remember, when you are ready to promote your project, we have <a href="http://raychelle-writes.blogspot.com/p/donate.html" target="_blank">several promotional packages via The Writer's Block</a> that will support you on release day and beyond.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Keep your pen to the paper! Remember, inspiration is everywhere...</span><br />

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">You have toiled over edits and re-writes, scrapped chapters altogether, and maybe even tossed a finished manuscript a time or two just to get to this point. But, the book is done. It is great. And you need to let everybody know about it. </span></div>
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">I don't mean just your family and friends. I don't mean only the folks who always buy your daughter's girl scout cookies or junior's little league team jerseys, either. In these uncertain times, people are looking for inspiration and solutions and fresh perspectives. Your book might be everything they are seeking.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">So, where do you start? I have interviewed over 100 authors and creative types who have successfully promoted themselves and their works. The Writer's Block, for many, was a great launching pad to their careers! Check out a few of our alums:</span><br />

<span style="color: #333333; font-family: Times New Roman, Times, serif;"><span style="background-color: white; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; line-height: 30.1875px;">Life is a series of choices. Coffee or tea? College or trade school? Marriage or the single life? Relocate or stay put? American or foreign? We may choose the beaten path--you know, something that falls well within our comfort zones--or we could take that leap of faith and blaze a trail of our own.</span></span></div>

<span style="color: #333333; font-family: Times New Roman, Times, serif;"><span style="background-color: white; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; line-height: 30.1875px;">Those who take the leap, I think, have an epiphany of sorts that says, "It's now or never. If I don't do it now, I will regret it. I can do it. I believe in myself."</span></span></div>

<span style="color: #333333; font-family: Times New Roman, Times, serif;"><span style="background-color: white; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; line-height: 30.1875px;">They will be challenged like never before and will be made to use everything they have ever learned. They could fail miserably or succeed exponentially. Either way, the desire to be true to themselves and to find purpose in their lives far exceeds their fears of both.</span></span></div>

<span style="color: #333333; font-family: Times New Roman, Times, serif;"><span style="background-color: white; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; line-height: 30.1875px;">It occurred to me recently that with everything that I have lost in the last three years, I am free. I am free to use my skills, talents, and accomplishments in whatever way I choose. Is that overwhelming? Somewhat paralyzing? I've had moments of both.</span></span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: Times New Roman, Times, serif;"><span style="background-color: white; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; line-height: 30.1875px;"><br /></span></span></div>

<br />
Greetings, All!<br />
<br />
Can you believe it has been almost 4 years since we spoke last? Where did the time go? (Seriously, Raychelle. Where have you been?)<br />
<br />
The easy answer is that life happened -- in a big way. We writers have to keep a day job, right? More specifically, I went to work in the sales and marketing department for a nationwide home builder. I managed and wrote copy for their website, created and executed social media campaigns, and worked with prospective buyers among a host of other things. Gratefully, that tour of duty ended in March (more on that later). However, I am really proud of the work I did over there and I learned a bunch.<br />
<br />
On a personal level, I got divorced, moved to Katy, and homeschooled Halima through high school and SAT's. Life is a lot simpler now since we downsized and have since moved on from the drama. I can feel my feet on the ground again and I am just trying to figure out my next moves.<br />
<br />
Hopefully you will get/stay tuned into this space as I have some cool projects in the making that I would love to share with you all! At some point, I plan to resurrect "The Writer's Block", do some book reviews and editing, etc. For now, I just gotta do me.<br />
<br />

<br />
Yes, you can write a novel in 30 days! Throw out your internal editor and commit to putting 1,667 words on paper between now and November 30, 2012. Your very rough first draft could lead to the next big thing in publishing--or at least enable you to check another item off your bucket list. Either way, it will be a great challenge with even greater rewards!<br />
<br />

Children may participate in the Young Writers Program at <a href="http://ywp.nanowrimo.org/">ywp.NaNoWriMo.org</a>.

It is possible to have many interests, pursue them all, and be great at each of them. Sometimes simultaneously. But, it takes focus, hard work, and courage. We live in a world that teaches us to be a society of "one-trick Nellies", when in fact we are citizens of the universe. The universe is a vastly unlimited realm of possibility. Our accomplishments are only limited by our fears and what we think about ourselves.<br />
<br />
Declare who and what you are. Stand in it and apologize for none of it. I am certain that my gifts are from Allah (God) himself, and I would not have them if His intent was that I not use them. My mission in life is to demonstrate my gratitude by being a vessel. I am constantly seeking ways to do better, live better, and help as many people as I can along the way. I encourage you to embrace your bold, bad selves and consider that knowing one thing, doing one job, and being a single-minded robot just isn't enough. The world would be better off if you were unchained in it. The universe has already called you. To whom will you answer?<br />

<br />
<b>1) Tell us a bit about yourself and where you live and work. </b><br />
<br />
My name is Sharon Griffin, from Houston, TX, and I work as an adjunct professor, teaching General Psychology. Previously, I worked as a Program Coordinator in NASA Johnson Space Center's (JSC) Education Office, placing high school and college students on Science, Technology, Engineering and Math (STEM) internships and planning conferences, workshops and events, as well as supporting outreach events in the community. <br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<br />
<b>2) Describe your journey to becoming an author. </b><br />
<br />
I've always been good at writing, but oddly enough, I didn't like doing it for enjoyment, that is until recently. While working at JSC, I had the opportunity to meet many amazing, smart and talented women, both in technical and non-technical positions; however, they were still the minority in comparison to their male counterparts. Last April, while on a work trip in El Paso, TX, I had this light bulb go off in my head for a great idea. I did some internet research on children's book pertaining to male dominated fields. The only items that populated were articles about the small percentages of women in male dominated fields, hence why those career fields are still called that. After conducting the research, that's when I came up with the premise of my children's book. I wanted to write a children’s book that showcased the different career paths a little girl can pursue, all the while portraying different ethnicities for the various careers. I wanted little girls everywhere to be able to relate with the book and envision themselves doing those jobs. When I was a child, I never felt I connected with the characters in the books I read because I never saw any that looked like me. Having four biracial daughters of my own has inspired me to want to shed light on this issue and the desire to see more diversity in children's books. <br />
<br />
<b>3) Who is your ideal reader? </b><br />
<br />
Although the book caters more so to early childhood to 5th grader, the ideal reader for my book is ANYONE and EVERYONE! The great thing about my book is that even though it is geared for little girls, it is teaching little boys that we as females are equal and can do the same jobs as males. I believe the sooner boys are exposed to this type of thinking, the more open minded they will be as adult males. This book allows mommies and daddies to let their daughters know, at a very young age, that girls can do anything boys can and that we should be treated equally. <br />
<br />
<b>4) Describe your path to publication. Has this experience met/exceeded your expectations? </b><br />
<br />
I knew I had a great concept for a children’s book, but didn’t want to wait around for a publishing company to pick me up. Instead, I decided to pursue publication through an established self-publication company; however, after speaking to several company representatives and the fact that I would lose creative control by using one of their illustrators, I made the executive decision to publish the book through my own publishing company. Thanks to the Houston chapter of the Society of Children’s Book Writers and Illustrators, one member took me under her wing and provided me step by step instructions on how to launch my own publishing company. A coworker at JSC also suggested a mutual friend of his wife’s to do my illustrations. After viewing samples she created for one or two of the professions in the book, the ethnicities I wanted portrayed and my vision for the illustrations, I knew she was the right individual to do the job. Veronica Sepulveda did an amazing job bring my words and vision to life with her illustrations. <br />
<br />
This experience has by far exceeded my expectations because it taught me to not accept anything until I was 100% sure of the results and that it had my approval. Thinking in hindsight, I know I made the right decision in my path to publication and wouldn’t have changed it if I was ever given the opportunity. <br />
<br />
<b>5) How do you promote your work? What methods have worked best for you? </b><br />
<br />
Currently I am promoting my work through the use of social media, such as: Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest and my blog. I am in the process of scheduling author signings at local elementary schools in the Houston and surrounding areas. I participate in local author events that I find out about through the Houston chapter of the Society of Children’s Book Writers and Illustrators. Another avenue I use to promote my work is LinkedIn groups, where I have opportunities like this, and the ability to do interviews and have my book reviewed to generate interest and book sales. <br />
<br />
So far the method that has worked for me has been Facebook and the creation of a fan page for my book. I’ve held a contest where the individual who brings the most “likes” to my page wins an autographed copy of my book. Now I am seeing that using the LinkedIn groups is generating more interest and support of my book, as well as helping me build a network with people in the same profession. <br />
<br />
<b>6) Who are your favorite authors? What is on your reading list right now? </b><br />
<br />
My favorite authors are Jhumpa Lahiri, Robin Cook and Stephen King. I’ve loved the Harry Potter movies, but haven’t had a chance to read the books yet. Currently, my reading list consists of what my daughter is reading for school. She’s fallen in love with my Shel Silverstein books and has been reading them to me. I’ve had the pleasure of listening to some of my all-time favorite books as a child. <br />
<br />
<b>7) Describe a typical day in your life. </b><br />
<br />
On a typical day, I drop off and pick up my eldest from school. In between, when I am not taking care of my daughters or taking care of my household, I am usually on LinkedIn promoting my book or finding ways to promote my book through different outlets. Also, I am currently looking for full time employment. Also, I am in the process of schedule school visits, where I will read the book and do some activities with the children in elementary schools. <br />
<br />
<b>8) What projects do you have in the works? </b><br />
<br />
I am in the process of creating a YouTube channel, where I will be interviewing women who hold positions in male dominated careers and give them the opportunity to talk about their path and the struggles they dealt with and had to overcome. In conjunction with the YouTube interviews, I will be posting those interviews, in detail, on my blog. I am also coming up with lesson plans to go with the book so that teachers can implement the book into their classroom curriculum. <br />
<br />
<b>9) What advice would you offer to aspiring authors? </b><br />
<br />
Don’t give up on your dreams of getting published. If you feel your story is worth sharing with the world, take initiative into your own hands and make your dreams come true. Always have faith in your abilities, trust your instincts and never let anyone tell you any different. That is what is going to distinguish you from others who don’t strive to make their dreams a reality. <br />

I was born in Muscat, Oman and lived in India until I was 5 years old. On December 24, 1986, my family and I made the journey to the United States. For the past 26 years, I have been living in the Houston, TX area. My parents have been married for 31 years and I am the oldest of three daughters. I hold both a Bachelors and Masters in Psychology, and graduated with both my degrees from the University of Houston – Clear Lake. Of all the grandchildren on my dad’s side of the family, I am the only college graduate. I have been with my husband for the past 10 years (married for 5 of those years). We have four beautiful daughters: Mackenzie, 7 ½ years old, Madison, almost 5 years old, Makayla, 3 ½ years old, and Malia, 4 months old. Previously I worked at NASA Johnson Space Center, in the Education Office, and as an adjunct professor, teaching General Psychology. Some of my hobbies include: spending time with family and friends, reading, shopping, photography, scrapbook and planning social gatherings/events.<br />

<br />
One of the most common pieces of advice that is given to writers is to never quit your day job. Since I left the retail world 9 years ago, I have pursued several entrepreneurial ventures, finished a degree, obtained a professional certification, been accepted into graduate school, homeschooled my <a href="http://www.halimasworld.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">12 year-old daughter</a>, helped her publish her <a href="http://chellemgt.wix.com/halimas-world" target="_blank">first novel</a>, published <a href="http://raychellesplace.weebly.com/" target="_blank">seven books</a> of my own in addition to several freelance articles, started a garden, decorated my homes, built websites, created 3 blogs, started a line of <a href="http://www.greetingcarduniverse.com/raychellescardstore" target="_blank">greeting cards</a>, designed a line of fabrics and <a href="http://www.zazzle.com/fabriques" target="_blank">home accessories</a>, and a bunch of other stuff I can't recall at the moment. When did I have the time to even consider a "day job"?<br />
<br />
I have a lot of interests and I pursue them all. Sue me. But, a writer still has to eat (and there are two writers in my house!). This past summer, I designed and taught a course entitled, "<a href="http://www.thescienceofnutrition.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">The Science of Nutrition</a>", for a group of high school students at <a href="http://www.workshophouston.org/" target="_blank">Workshop Houston</a>'s Summer Leadership Institute. It was incredibly rewarding (shout out to Co-Director Reginald Dwayne Hatter and High School Program Director Jalyn Smith) and led me to find other ways to get out of the house and monetize my passions. Adding to the long list of personal and professional pursuits, I now have a position in sales working with homebuilders--and I love it! I am meeting all kinds of interesting people which should one day make for some pretty intriguing stories.<br />

Needless to say, there hasn't been as much activity on the blogging/writing end over the last couple of months while in transition. Had to pump the brakes a bit as I started the new gig when the school year began. I have found a fulfilling way to do what I have to do now in order to do what I want to do later.<br />
<br />
I want to thank all of the guest bloggers who have helped me with some of the "heavy lifting" as well as those of you who follow me and support my work. <i><b>Smart Girls Like You</b></i> is nearly finished with <i><b>Smart Boys Like You</b></i> coming soon. <i><b>The Living Well</b></i> is taking on a life of its own and will be finished by the year's end. Here's to finding many ways to get paid for doing what you love. Absolutely none of it feels like work!<br />

<div class="Body">
My new book <i><b>Sacajawea of the Shoshone</b></i> is the story of the Native American teenager who traveled the American West with Lewis and Clark. It was just released on Oct. 1 by Goosebottom Books, and is an addition to their award-winning first series, <i><b>The Thinking Girl’s Treasury of Real Princesses</b></i>. While conducting the research into her remarkable life, I was really struck and awed by Sacajawea’s resiliency in the face of hardship, tragedy, illness and often inhospitable terrain, all while caring for her infant son. Her journey was frequently harsh and interrupted by setbacks, but she persevered and triumphed to become one of the most famous women in American history. <br />
<br />
Writing, I’ve found, is often like Sacajawea’s journey. Some days, you’re struggling against the strong currents of the Missouri River and you have to “get out of the boat”, grit your teeth, and tediously pull your story along. On others, you’re really cruising along on the swift rapids of the Columbia River. At times during the writing process your mind stumbles on the sharp rocks and prickly cacti of the Rocky Mountains, but then it bursts through to the sun-drenched Wieppe Valley where food/ideas/creative juice is plentiful. It is not an easy path, but the only way to get through to the other side is to keep at it. <br />
<br />
Let’s face it. Most of us writers don’t get rich off our writing. We write because we’re passionate about it and there are stories within us yearning to get out. We weather the hazards and setbacks—rejection letters, endless revisions, writer’s block, mediocre sales—because we enjoy the process. <br />
<br />
I’m a quote collector because I find quotes by other authors inspiring, and one of my favorites is by Richard Bach, author of <i><b>Jonathan Livingston Seagull</b></i>: “A professional writer is an amateur who didn’t quit.” For most of us, the ultimate goal is to get published. If we give up and stop writing, we’ll never get there. However, if we push on, no matter how long it takes or how many setbacks we encounter, we’ll eventually achieve our goal. My upcoming picture book <i><b>Goldy Luck and the Three Pandas</b></i> (Charlesbridge Publishing, 2014) is one such a story. By the time this book is published, its journey to publication would have taken nine years! <br />
<br />
The thing I love most about the writing life—whether it’s the creative process itself, fighting our fear of public speaking at school visits, meeting fellow writers at a conference—is that it’s an adventure with many surprising, satisfying, if not always painless, twists and turns. So, whether you’re just getting started in writing or you’ve been at it for awhile, sit back and enjoy the journey. You’re in for quite a ride!</div>

<b>1) Tell us a bit about who you are, and where you live and work.</b><br /><br />I've been an illustrator for 25 years now, grew up in Chicago and now live in Tempe, Arizona. <br /><br /><br /><b>2) Describe your journey to becoming an illustrator.</b><br /><br />My natural talent took me to art school, my love for art in Pop Culture inspired me to pursue the field. It's been a rocky road, but I love what I do. It's not for everyone. <br /><br /><br /><b>3) What mediums do you prefer?</b><br /><br />I like watercolor with pencil or pen and ink, I also love pastels and chalk pencils. But creating vector art is also becoming very fun for me. I'm now practicing painting in Photoshop, and while it doesn't feel organic yet, there's no mess to clean up. <br /><br /><br /><b>4) Tell us about your latest projects.</b><br /><br />I recently worked on some watercolor paintings for floor plans and elevations of resort properties. I also did a watercolor/pencil of a frog for a wildlife magazine. <br /><br /><br /><b>5) Who are your favorite authors? What is on your reading list right now?</b><br /><br />Larry McMurtry, Erik Larson, Wayne Sallee...currently reading <i><b>The Book of Drugs</b></i> by Mike Doughty, one of my favorite musicians. I love reading musicians' biographies or memoirs. <br /><br />

<b> 6) How do you promote your work? What methods have worked best for you?</b><br /><br />Online, printed postcards, and my agent. I think my agent is getting me the most work these days. <br /><br /><br /><b>7) What are your upcoming plans for the rest of 2012?</b><br /><br />Keep plugging away, learn some new techniques, and revive some old ones. <br /><br /><b><br />8) What is your definition of success?</b><br /><br />Happiness in what you do. If you're doing what you love for a living, you have no regrets. <br /><br /><br /><b>9) What advice would you offer to aspiring illustrators?</b><br /><br />Always look at what others are doing, keep abreast of trends while maintaining your own style. Become as versatile as possible, yet show your best style up front. <br /><br /><b>About Gary</b><br />

<span lang="EN-GB"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I live on a farm in the wilds of
Gloucestershire, near Bristol, England and am surrounded by beautiful
countryside, woodlands and baaing sheep in spring. I love writing, reading,
watching television and films, and swimming, though the sight of me in a
swimming costume is not a pretty sight and when swimming in the sea constantly
fear being harpooned by accident. I love seeing my friends and going to my book
club once a month. These evenings are spent eating cake, drinking coffee and
shrieking with laughter and occasionally discussing the books we’ve read.</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span lang="EN-GB">I was an English
and music teacher before almost losing my sense of humour (and mind) and
deciding I needed to devote herself to the thing my loved most - writing. I
wrote and published a number of children’s musicals while teaching and after
leaving became a full-time television scriptwriter for children, on an award
winning programme, <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Kideo</i>. Putting
words into the mouths of a donkey called Mr Chinwag was a unique and fun
experience. I then entered a nationwide scriptwriting competition and was
selected to be on the writing team of a popular South African soap, <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Generations, </i>it was<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></i>multilingual so often what
I wrote would appear on screen translated into Sotho or Zulu or one of the
other eleven official languages in South Africa-weird. I also worked as an
advertising copywriter, wrote radio ads and jingles, educational textbooks and
readers...anything writing related to keep the wolf from the door. Basically,
I’m constantly writing, books and TV scripts and if not that then plotting,
planning and scheming how to take over the world. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span lang="EN-GB">I spent a very
long 20 years writing my first book, which went through numerous drafts and
changes and now is a completely different book from how it started out- thank
goodness. I– self published <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">When Killers Cry, </i>an adult political
thriller set in apartheid South Africa<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"> </i>just
to see what would happen. A lot of it comes from my own experience growing up
in those dark days, so it’s very personal for me. It’s available through
Lulu.com and on Kindle. My first love is writing for children though. So I
wrote two children’s fantasy books and am working on an animation script and
other scripts, adapting my books for film. <b><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Blue
Dust : Forbidden</i></b>, the first in the Blue Dust series, will be published in
November by Ghostly Publishing. It’s now out on Kindle. This too is based on my
own experiences as an ‘alien’ and was born out of my struggles of being an
immigrant. The other book, still to be named, will also be published later next
year, which is great as I had a load of complimentary and encouraging
rejections from people who thought it a ‘bit weird’. It’s been a long journey
getting to this point, but worth every minute of aching arms and back and an
ever increasing file of ‘This is great but it’s not for us’-type letters.</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span lang="EN-GB">For <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"><b>Blue Dust: Forbidden</b> </i>and the series,
ideally pre-teen and teenage girls, but though the book has romance it’s not
soppy and there is loads of action and adventure, humour too. Boys will also
enjoy it and of course the theme of feeling alien and not fitting in, is
universal so adults who read fantasy will take pleasure in it too I hope. It’s
sort of ‘multi-genre’ and I’m hoping it will appeal to a wide audience.</span></div>

<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span lang="EN-GB">It’s been hard
getting to this point. I broke into television surprisingly easily and was
expecting publishing to be the same, but it’s a whole other beast – everyone
with a computer these days thinks they’re a writer. I’ve had loads of rejection
– am thinking of wallpapering my lounge with all the rejection letters- but
most were complimentary and encouraging and no one actually said ‘your work is
rubbish’. I took that as something positive. Despite being told once that I had
more chance of being eaten by a great white shark while being struck by
lightning, than I did of writing a best seller, I chose to ignore that advice
and with the support of friends and family, soldiered on, wrote constantly and
took advice from wise editors. Being offered a publishing deal was a dream come
true – sounds so cliché, but it was amazing and I’m finding it all fantastic,
though a bit scary. Nothing is ever as you imagine it to be, but being an
actual author with a book deal is everything I hoped and has certainly met my
expectations. Now all I need to do is sell a couple of million copies.</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span lang="EN-GB">I’m new at this
all, so am trying to get my head round the whole social media thing. I’m amazed
at how much Linkedin, Twitter and Facebook are increasing interest in the book.
I’ve done a small amount of local press so far, but will step it all up as the
release date approaches. Of course I’m hoping for radio and newspaper
interviews that will spread the news.</span></div>

<span lang="EN-GB">I have a very
eclectic taste. I love thrillers – Jo Nesbo, Christina Lackberg, John Grisham,
Dick Francis but also Jane Austen, Dickens, and writers like Kate Atkinson,
Zadie Smith, Alexander McSmith. I’m currently reading <i><b>The Glass Room</b></i> by Simon Mawer
and <i><b>The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel</b></i> by Deborah Maggoch. I’m also reading <i><b>Un lun
dun</b></i> by China Mieville and am about to start <i><b>Jimmy Threepwood and the Veil of
Silence</b></i> by Rich Pitman, another of the Ghostly Publishing authors. It’s a fine
balance between writing my own stuff and reading the works of other great
writers.</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span lang="EN-GB">I get up, check
emails, read the news on the BBC website, Twitter, Facebook stuff, re-read what
I wrote the day before and get stuck in. I try to write every day for as long
as possible – a bad back makes sitting for too long tricky – so I’ll have a
short walk or go for a swim- my latest craze is aqua zumba, which is more like
flapping about in water in time to music and is hilarious, then back to carry
on writing. I often work late into the night as I work in short bursts. I’m finding
the social media taking up a lot of my time, so am having to re-organise my
time. I also take lunch off to watch my 2 favourite Ozzie soaps. I enjoy
watching telly or a film in the evenings. I’ll often get an idea as I drift off
to sleep and will get up to jot it down before trying again. Somehow the
moments before slumber are very creative. I’ve spoken to a number of writers
who experience the same. I tell myself a story as I go to sleep too, usually
what happens in the next chapter or book or series of books. Most of the time
this puts me right to sleep. Hmmm….</span></div>

scripts to give myself a bit of variety. Another book of mine will be published

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span lang="EN-GB">Never give up!
Write as much as you can, get a good editor – never send in the first draft, take
advice from said good editors, don’t expect your family and friends to be much
use in giving an honest opinion on your writing – unless they’re writers too,
Learn how to rewrite, rewrite and rewrite, try not to be too ‘precious’ about
your work. Sometimes you have to delete a sentence or paragraph or even chapter
you love because it doesn’t contribute to the work as a whole. Read a lot, take
time to find your own voice and the genre that suits you best. Never surrender!</span></div>

<span lang="EN-GB">I was born and
raised in South Africa where I qualified as a teacher, teaching English and
Music. I wrote five children’s musicals that were published in SA and sold
extensively throughout the country and Africa, and are still being performed
over there. I left teaching to become a full-time television scriptwriter in
1994, working on an award winning South African children’s programme, <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Kideo</i>. I entered a nationwide
scriptwriting competition and was selected to be on the writing team of <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Generations</i>, a multi-lingual soap. I
also wrote advertising copy, radio jingles and adverts and then moved into
writing textbooks and readers for illiterate and semi-literate adults. I worked
on CD rom voiceovers for the Independent Electoral Committee before the first
democratic elections. Some of my music was performed to the United Nations
observers and was also recorded and broadcast on South African television. I’ve
also written corporate video scripts and created and directed a children’s
series for Impact media in SA. I emigrated to the UK in 2000 and became a
naturalised citizen in 2005. Since being in the UK I’ve written a number of
animation scripts for Waterston TV (in development) and also wrote an Easter
programme for the Swaziland Communication Department. I’ve completed two
children’s fantasy books and an adult political thriller, and am working on an
animation script. <i><b>Blue Dust : Forbidden</b></i>, the first in the Blue Dust series,
will be published in November by Ghostly Publishing. It’s now out on Kindle.</span><br />

<b>1) Tell us a bit about who you are, and where you live and work. </b><br />
<br />
I am a retired teacher that is an author and a co-illustrator for Hug-A-Bug Travel series and the president Mighty Lion Ventures Pub. LLP. I live in Houston, Texas with my husband and two Schnauzers. I have two married children and am a proud grandparent with four grandchildren. Two of my grandchildren are adorable twin girls! <br />
<br />
<b>2) Describe your journey to becoming an author/ illustrator. Which came first?</b><br />
<br />
I have always doodled as a child creating critters in my sketches. I became an author after my 2 children went to high school. My husband and my two children encouraged me to publish my stories I used to tell my students when I was an elementary teacher, especially when I taught overseas. There are many children out there that need hugs in this world. When I taught in Indonesia is when Hug-A-Bug became a tool in my classroom. <br />
<br />
<b>3) Do you prefer to write for children? Why?</b><br />
<br />
Yes, I do. I feel that their needs to be less wordy books for children to enjoy but learn from the same time about other cultures and be sensitive to others needs. <br />
<br />
<br />
<b>4) What mediums do you prefer to use in your artistry? </b><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
I draw using pencil sketches and than my co-partner, Nicole Taylor, utilizes the Illustrator software program to embellish it. Also, for the background, I use my own photos from when I lived or visited that country. <br />
<br />

<b>5) Tell us about your latest project.</b><br />
<br />
Our second book to our Hug-A-Bug Travels series, <i><b>Hug-A-Bug Travels to Greece</b></i> is the one we will be launching before December 2012. The goal for the book is for children to discover Greece, language phrases, and meet a rare animal that needs a hug. <br />
<br />
<br />
<b>6) Who are your favorite authors? What is on your reading list right now? </b><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
E.B.White for children’s book- She is very creative in telling her story about a pig and a spider’s venture on a farm. Virginia Brown’s Diva series for adult books- She uses humor and mystery at the same time in her stories. Also, John Grisham- He is well researched and a detailer telling his stories. It is one of those books you can’t put down until you finish it. For recent ones, I just finished reading <i><b>The Dog Prince</b></i>, so I could write a short review for the author, Fun London. I am also reading <i><b>The Wake Up and Dream Challenge </b></i>by Barbara Lavi. <br />
<br />
<br />
<b>7) How do you promote your work? What methods have worked best for you? </b><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Active social media for marketing. I have found that if someone picks up our book or goes to our website to look at it, they always ask where can they purchase it. I am not a hard salesperson. The book sells itself because of its vivid illustrations and it is not wordy. As a teacher I have discovered that children always reach for the books that have lots of colorful illustrations and less words and interact with them. <br />
<br />

<b>8) What are your upcoming plans for the rest of 2012? </b><br />
<br />
Our next book my partner and I will be creating is the third of the series, <i><b>Hug-A-Bug Travels to Peru</b></i>. <br />
<br />
<b>9) What is your definition of success? </b><br />
<br />
Never give up on your dreams. Just keep chugging along like the book, <i><b>The Little Engine That Could</b></i>. I always tell myself and my students to memorize this saying, “I can do it; I will do it; I did it! <br />
<br />
<b>10) What advice would you offer to aspiring illustrators? </b><br />
<br />
Find your style and embellish on it. Most importantly, set up a website and a Facebook page to get known. <br />

</xml><![endif]--></b>Anna was born on an Iowa farm. However, when she got married and had two children she became a world traveler. She now has four grandchildren, but still has time to create her books with her partner, Nicole Taylor. <br />
<br />
The creation of the little bug that just wanted a hug sprouted from a character the author, Anna Church, had been using for years in her classes. After retiring, she finally had the time to work on creating her series for all children across the world. She has a B.S. and a M.S. in Elementary Education and has taught many years overseas. Her books and vivid illustrations are based on her overseas experiences and background in early childhood development. In her books she strives to entertain and help children discover other cultures, languages and famous geographical places in a fun and inviting environment. Through their journey they learn the importance of caring for others around you and that everyone needs a hug from time to time. <br />
<br />
When she is not writing or illustrating children’s books, she is enjoying time with her grandchildren, designing jewelry, studying yoga or hiking in new places.<b>
