I am honored and humbled by the presence success of winning the Kirkus Starred Review. This is my dream job writing for children! I found a passion for American Sign Language. Children and their zest for life inspire me, the joys they find in simple things, their big infectious smiles, their wild and free imagination.
My grandson Dylan was inspired with his joy and enthusiasm for life and Monster Trucks! See some of the inspiring snapshots below. My granddaughter told her teacher, Santa, the cashiers in any and every store, "This is my Mimi. She is writing a book!" They bring me so much joy!
To the team presented here, "Thank You" comes from my heart with deep gratitude for all your support and gifts of contribution—blessings, my friends.

April Cox answered a question on Facebook with an irresistible offer. I dared to post a question on Facebook in a group of aspiring authors. I asked, "Do any of you self-publish?" With a resounding YES, they said they all do. April added, "I have just started a new group, Self-Publishing Made Simple, guiding you through the process. You are welcome to join us."
I joined that group, and the outcome is My Monster Truck Goes Everywhere with Me. I love the author and marketing community on FaceBook and Instagram. They live with purpose and passion, willing to share their knowledge so freely. April has helped me through every step of the process. Without her, I would still be dreaming.
