Father’s Day just ahead…

June 12, 2013 By Carol

June 12, 2013 Some of the best letters shared within a family never need any postage.  These are the ones slipped into a lunch box or pasted onto a mirror or the dashboard of the car.  A child’s drawing or a simple “I love you” are “worth their weight in the gold of family harmony.” […]

They bonded with a letter

May 26, 2013 By Carol

May 26, 2013 In honor of Memorial Day, I want to share a story from NPR’s STORYCORPS about two Kentucky moms of fallen soldiers who connected through a letter.

May 24, 2013 By Carol

MatthewMatthew’s ‘Right Writer’ _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ While listening to NPR on my morning commute, I heard about Warren Buffet’s contest for kids: Grow Your Own Business…and his Secret Millionaires’ Club.

The Writing Master in paper!!!

May 5, 2013 By Carol

May 5, 2013 I am so pleased to announce that The Writing Master is, at long last, coming out in paperback TODAY!!! Hip, hip, hooray!

Earth Day Thoughts to Consider

April 22, 2013 By Carol

April 22, 2013 For a long time, I have been looking for a way to dispel the fallacy called: “Going Green.” I see the phrase on my bills in the mail. “Save a Tree” the envelope urges- pay your bills electronically. Then I stumbled across a page in a recent catalog from Saturn Press. Their explanation sums […]
