My Other Job . . . And a Children's Book Giveaway

Greetings Land of Blog!

I am so excited I can hardly sit to write this post.

I wanted to share this news with all you Apron Goddesses because YOU read to your children. And if you are like me, you are always looking for great new books for story time.

I have worn many "hats" for the past year I can really put on my "author" cap and celebrate! The book I wrote, Bingo's Big Adventure, has arrived back from the printers and look incredible!!


The printers did an outstanding job putting my vision on paper and I am so proud to be able to say I photographed, wrote and published this little gem of a book. This is not to say I did not have help along the way. I had several "editors" who gave me their comments and feedback to refine my story.

The Quick Summary.

Bingo's Big Adventure is a children's story (appropriate for ages 3 to 8), in a 10"x 8" format in either hardback or softback, which follows the path of Bingo, the newest cat on our farm. Bingo is a real member of our family and all photos in the story were taken on our little farm.

In this "Cat's Tale," Bingo explores his new world and tackles adventure with curiosity and a touch of well founded reservation. Bingo meets other animals on the farm including a pesky rooster who challenges his instincts. Vibrant color photographs document the story line and are matched with lively text describing Bingo's thoughts. This story is told from his point of view.


I know that adults as well as children will enjoy reading this book.

The Giveaway

If you would like to win a copy of this book I am offering four (4) books to the winners of a random drawing. To enter the drawing for your own signed copy of my book, visit the Bingo's Big Adventure web site and come back and make a comment about something you learned there. That's all!

And please consider that if you are looking for a new book for your kids or have gifts to give to children in this age range please keep my book in mind. Bingo's Big Adventure would also make a great coffee table book since the photos are quite lively.

With your purchase you would be buying a quality children's book, be supporting a women owned business, and be promoting independent publishing. I would be honored to sign any copies that are purchased on your request.

If you would like to purchase a book you can do so at www.bingoadventures.com to order Bingo's Big Adventure via Paypal. It is also available on Amazon as well.

Good luck!

Giveaway Closes on July 17th, 2010
