2nd Indie Picture Book Seeking Crowdfunding

Mom's Choice and Award-winning Author VS Grenier has launched a Kickstarter campaign to help complete the second book in the SugarPaw Adventure Indie Picture Book series featuring her lovable main character SugarPaw and his trust worthy babysitter Bonnie Whiskers.

BABYSITTING SUGARPAW, the first book in the series, won two awards (Silver Mom's Choice Award & 2011 LUW Silver Quill Award) and because of this, Grenier decided to take yet another one of her childhood memories and turn it into another adventure full of mischief starting SugarPaw and Bonnie Whiskers.

Contributors to the crowdfunding campaign will receive special insider perks. Contributors giving $25 will receive an 8" plush SugarPaw teddy, poster and Shout-Out of Thanks. Those contributing $35 will receive signed copy of book, Future Author pen, coloring pages and bookmark. Contributors giving $55 will receive signed copy of book, 8" plush SugarPaw teddy, coloring pages and bookmark. Those giving $100 will receive signed copy of book, 8" plush Sugarpaw teddy, Future Author pen, sugarPaw T-shirt, bookmark, and coloring pages.

Grenier has been working all this time on the book editing and going over artwork with illustrator Kevin Collier. As they come to the end of the KickStarter campaign launched to raise the funds to get the 2nd book printed, it has motivated them to make it even better.

The  crowdfunding campaign ends in 6 days - June 15th! As of now, we are still short of reaching the goal. If we fall short, we don't get any of the funding & have to start over. If you haven't had a chance to check it out yet, please do! Grenier and Collier hope you are as excited as they are to bring this fun and amazing book to life. We have a few more days to go, so let's hope for more support!

If you have already backed the project, THANK YOU! If you haven't had a chance yet, please try to get to it BEFORE June 15th!

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.
