I am a just started Kids book writer. After reading them to kids for 20 years, figured I try my hand. I've written about 26 since I started. Lately I seem to be stuck in the phase where they keep my stories for 6-9 months then send me back a note saying they liked it but not for them. Chaaaaarming and peachy.

The sigh is not because it's one star, it's because I wish I could get her and my daughter to both come along. But funds from the teacher's fund grant only go so far....
