Well, after months of being away what can I say? I can tell you the truth. I've been busy beyond words helping to develop my website for children's books.
I think that most of you know about six years ago I sold a book (and a series of ten more) to a publisher in Canada. The books were based on my horse Tango. The series was my heart. I was excited beyond belief. Then the illustrator and the publisher got into a legal battle that could not be resolved. I got my rights back just after the first book was illustrated.
I won't go into the long saga again, but for those of you who don't know, my book was stolen. I found out when someone said, "My granddaughter loves your book."
"Which one?" I asked.
"Tango and Tilly," she replied.
My book was being sold all over the internet. I contacted an attorney who said it would cost me hundreds of thousands of dollars to pursue legal action because the layers of the internet are so deep.
So I moped around for a very long time. Then, with a little help from my friends, I decided to try to develop a website based around Tango and the stories that almost write themselves. The website is for kids who love animals. The website comes from my heart.
Please take a minute and visit Tango and Tilly at www.tangoandtilly.com
If you don't have a Kindle or an e-reader you can download one for free and your kids can read the books right from their computers. Here's where to get the free e-reader devices:

This has been a long time coming. I can't tell you how much your support means to me.
