Rose's Adventures Series
June, July, October 2020
This series tells the adventures of Rose, the heart-shaped balloon, who, in the first book, ROSE, floated around Barbie's house looking for a way out to fly with the big hot air balloons. In LILY and VIOLET, Rose meets up with new friends as they explore the countryside in LILY, and then different kinds of rainbows in VIOLET.
This series was illustrated with personal photographs and those of family, friends, and in a few cases professional photographers. It became an extension of scrapbooking in a way to share with others and add a twist of a storyline to the photos.
Dreamland
Expected Release in 2024
A look into a child's imagination.
A game is played where children spin around in circles in the yard until they are dizzy and fall down to the ground.
When they wake up, looking up into the clouds,
they are in Dreamland and their adventure begins!
Each chapter is a short story of a new Dreamland experience.
Night Noises
TBD
This book will focus on the various noises that can be heard throughout the night, in all kinds of environments.
And why they're important.
