SugarPaw is back for another adventure and a bit more mischief - Pledge your suppot Today!

https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1440757101/whistle-beans-another-sugarpaw-adventure
Whistle Beans is the second book in the SugarPaw Adventure series. The first book, Babysitting SugarPaw is a Silver Mom's Choice and 2011 Silver Quill Award-winner.

The artwork found inside the series is done by Illustrator and Animator Kevin Scott Collier.

BEHIND THE STORY -
The concepts for the books in the SugarPaw Adventure series are from my personal life.
When I was little, I couldn't whistle. A family friend, Charlie Baker, was one of the best whistlers and I wanted to have a strong whistle like his. I practiced everyday...but never got much out beyond the WHOOSHING sound of air passing my lips.


It was the holidays when Charlie shared his secret to a strong whistle with me over a big Christmas Dinner at my family's house. A memory I cherishes to this day!


SugarPaw will share this secret with young readers all over the world in his second children's book adventure, which is also dedicated to the loving memory of Charlie Baker!


 The KickStart Campaign

The KickStarter campaign is to raise the funds to get the book printed. It ends in 30 days! If we fall short of our goal, we don't get any of the funding & have to start over.

We wanted to make this affordable for all budges so we have a Shout-out Pledge (which posts on http://SugarPaw.blogspot.com, SugarPaw's Fan page and more) - these will be for any one who pledges $5 or more to the campaign! It will be updated as we go along.

If you haven't had a chance to check it out our KickStarter page, please do! Besides offering the books, we also have some fun stuff starting with $10 pledges!

Poster - 11x17 glossy poster of SugarPaw and Bonnie Whisker. This is artwork from the original Mom's Choice Award-winning book, Babysitting SugarPaw with the SugarPaw logo, "Magic Comes From Believing in Yourself!"

Book Mark - I'll add them to any reward that has a book involved.

Interview Friday with author Frances Pauli

Frances Pauli was born and raised in Washington State . She grew up with a love of reading and storytelling, and was introduced to Science Fiction and Fantasy at an early age through the books kept and read by her father. Though she always held aspirations to be a writer, she chose to obtain her Bachelor’s degree in visual arts. The stories, however, had other plans for her. By the time she entered her thirties, they were no longer content existing solely in her head. Compelled to free them, she set aside her easel and began to write in earnest. Her original love of Speculative fiction combined with her covert excursions into the Romance section led her into the realms of Urban Fantasy and Paranormal Romance, where she finds herself quite comfortable. Her fascination with Science Fiction and a growing passion for the NASA channel divert her happily into tales of the far future, alternate dimensions, and the wonders of space, usually with at least a touch of romance. Frances current...

“So much time, and so little to do! Strike that, reverse it.”

Have you ever had one of those days where you just want to lay in bed doing nothing? I found myself feeling exactly like this today. But as much as I wanted to just lay there in my warm cozy bed . . . I could not. Nope, there was just so much time and so little to do! Strike that . . . reverse it, as the wise Willy Wonka once said. I have always loved that line from the 1971 version of Willy Wonka. I find I say it a lot, because it seems my life is always full of things to do. Wouldn’t it be nice to really have so much time and very little to do once in awhile? I would love to say today was one of those days, but it wasn’t. Instead of relaxing, I start planning next week’s workload. I also look at the things on my To-Do list and see which ones might have to be moved out to the following week. I am glad to say … not too many things need to be moved out, however, website updates will be. All authors know having a website is very important to building your marketing platform. After...

Get Up & Get Moving: Week 9

Well, this past week was another busy week at my house. I somehow hurt my rib cage on which pretty much kept me from doing any exercising. Not sure what I did or even how it happened, but it is pretty sore. My baby girl isn’t happy mommy can’t carry her around all day because it hurts too much. I’m hoping after another week of resting, I’ll be back up and moving around in less to no pain.
