Outlining My New Book


Dear Readers,

I am on a roll. I’m outlining my next book. I’m deciding if it’s going to be a book of poetry or a semi-autobiographical novella or novel. It’s shaping up to be a novella because I don’t want to pick a genre. I feel if you’re a writer, you can write in any genre.

I’ll share the book cover as soon as it’s done.

Bye for now!

INsanity & Butterflies debut


Dear Readers,

As promised, here is the cover and the link to purchase my latest book, INsanity & Butterflies!

I’m so proud of myself. And yes, I’ve been busy. The way that I managed to get through the pain of divorce was to write it out. And boy did I do that!

So far, since July 2021, I’ve self-published five books:

  1. The Ebb & Flow of Life: Stages of Walking in Your Power (book of poetry)
  2. The New Special Education Teacher’s Survival Guide (quick & dirty guide)
  3. The Special Education Teacher’s Guide to a Well-Run Classroom (quick & dirty guide)
  4. Plan B: The Special Education Teacher’s Guide to Life After… (quick & dirty guide)
  5. INsanity & Butterflies (book of poetry)

Link to purchase: @ Barnes & Noble , Amazon, & Take A Lot

UPCOMING:

I’m not going to say much about the next two books, but the title of one of them is going to make you laugh so hard.

I also have other irons in the fire that I’m staying mum on for now. I’ll let you know once it’s a done deal.

So, stay tuned for my next couple of books! As always, I’ll keep you updated!

A Lot Going On!


Hi Dear Readers,

I currently have a lot going on. Personally, I am on Cloud 9. At first my children were playing and I wasn’t a grandmother. Well, that changed in April & in June. I now have two beautiful (And I mean they’re beautiful) grandchildren. Once I have permission from my children, I’ll post their names and pics. If they don’t give permission, I feel bad for you guys that you’ll never get a chance to see two of the most beautiful human beings in creation (besides my own four children)! LOL!

Secondly, I’m learning how to format my books and resize the covers. I don’t think I’m going to stop using my cover creator because they’re great. They’ve designed all five of my covers. Which brings me to the next reason why I’m so busy. I published my fifth book (and second book of poetry), entitled “INsanity & Butterflies”! I’ll write a separate post on that and debut the cover which I love since I designed it with the help of my cover designer.

Thirdly, I’m on a mission to get my books in various libraries across the country and several book stores. This is going to be an ongoing project, so it’ll be awhile.

So, that’s the update on my life! I’ll keep you updated as things progress.

Bye for now!

Special Education Resources


Dear Readers,

I’m including this bonus for you since you’ve been such faithful readers. Here are the resources I wrote about in my book:

https://tinyurl.com/SpEdsurvival-resources

I have three guides:

(1) The New Special Education Teacher’s Survival Guide

(2) The Special Education Teacher’s Guide to a Well-Run Classroom

(3) Plan B: The Special Education Teacher’s Guide to Life After…

There’s something for everyone. I wrote the guides in three stages, just as I did my poetry. The first guide (The New Special Education Teacher’s Survival Guide) is for new teachers who are in survival mode. The second guide (The Special Education Teacher’s Guide to a Well-Run Classroom) is for when you’ve moved out of survival mode and want to have a well-run classroom. The last guide (Plan B: The Special Education Teacher’s Guide to Life After…) is for when you’re ready to make a bigger impact, effect more change than just your classroom and move out of the classroom.

Book #1
Book #2
Book #3

If you like the resources, buy the book and leave a positive review on Amazon!

Submission for Library Suggest a Purchase


Dear Readers,

I submitted my books for Los Angeles Public Library’s Suggest a Purchase. If accepted, the library does not contact you personally, so you just have to check the library website periodically to see if your book has been accepted. I’ll check in about a month to see if they’ve been accepted.

Next step: Submit my books for libraries across the country.

Wish me well, Dear Readers!
