Personal Note: Ten Years of Support and Love

Today marks my ten year wedding anniversary. It was a day that changed my life in more ways than I could have even imagined. When Justin came into my life one year before, I knew I had found the man of my dreams. The first time he wrapped his arms around me in a warm hug I knew I found a safe place and my home. He is my everything and my eternal companion. Our life together was an adventure from the start. I already had a son so we didn't get those free spirited early years of marriage like so many newly weds. Instead we went from dating to instant family. However, even today we wouldn't have changed a thing. It was because of this my life took another turn and I started down the road to publication. I left my life in the fashion/buying world and decided to become a stay-at-home-mom. To raise a family and find something I could do while raising my children.

Guest Post Wed: A Lighthearted YA Romantic Piece by Scott R. Caseley

Originally, I was going to write something else, but the ideas I had were too dark and too bleak. Seeing as I've done a lot of that lately, I wanted to have a bit of a departure. Though I love my characters in Isosceles dearly, I decided to leave them behind for this piece.

His quiet demeanor made him mysterious, which of course made him even cuter to my fourteen-year old mind.   I first noticed him when our Honors English class got holed up in the school library because they had to repaint our classroom.   Fumes and fate placed us at the same table with three others whose last name began with a “T”.   W

Book Review Tuesday: What Do You See When You Look At Me? by Sarah E. Sauer

About the Book: In What Do You See When You Look at Me? the author engages her young readers with bright and colorful photos and invites them to see more than just an animal but to look at the beauty of each creature in detail. Overall Thoughts: A wonderful book for kids who love animals. Sauer’s eye for capturing wildlife is amazing and I just loved each photo. The details are vivid and you can see so much more beyond this is a horse, bird, zebra, etc. Teachers can use this book to explore the animal kingdom with preschool aged kids and older classrooms can have open discussions about what they see in each picture. What Other Readers are Saying: “Sarah's view of the animal kingdom is delightful, artistic, colorful, with a wonderful touch of whimsy. The expressions that she found in each of the images, matched by the text that fully exemplifies the expression on each of God's creatures is truly a gift to the reader. I wish her lots of success --I
