Baseball Is…
31 Mar
Opening Day is HUGE in Cincinnati, hometown of author Louise Borden. And Baseball Is… is the perfect book to welcome back the boys of summer. It’s a gorgeous day to take in a ballgame, some peanuts and cracker jacks, and an out-of-the-park book.
I’m adding a little something from youtube of the great John Fogerty’s Centerfield “Put Me In, Coach” with retro videos! Enjoy!

On Post-Critique Revision
21 MarWhen revising, it’s always a good idea to put a manuscript away for a while and come back to it later.
It’s easier to determine the cause of the fire after the flames have been extinguished.

Following a Dream
24 Sep
From a tiny acorn, a mighty oak is grown.
I myself sprouted just over a half century ago, give or take a few years… okay give a few. During that time I have entertained many different dreams. Many have come true.. I have a wonderful husband, three amazing children, and two perfect grandchildren. I have also been fortunate enough to have a career I loved and the luxury of an early retirement. I admit, I have been very blessed.
So now phase two of my life… writing for children. Crafting stories that are cherished by generations, now that’s a dream! Role models: A.A.Milne, Roald Dahl, Theodor Geisel, Kevin Henkes, Arnold Lobel, Beatrix Potter, the Brothers Grimm, Aesop, Laura Ingalls Wilder, Jan Brett, L Frank Baum, E.B. White, Lewis Carroll, Shel Silverstein, and so many more. Dream big or go home, right? So I’m going to dream big.
