Hi Faithful Backers and anyone else who reads this! We have almost reached the end of this marathon, and we have less than a day left. At the end of that time, I believe that Kickstarter will release your funds back to you. For Tejal and me, we will... (Read More)
Tejal continues to produce magic!
June 7th - via: kickstarter.com
Just before beginning on this update, Tejal sent me the next pages she'd completed. I am so excited about this book--and am praying it will be a blessing for thousands of little ones. Can you help that happen? (Read More)
Counting my Blessings

We have three days left. Thank you very much to all my backers. Your support during this, my first (maybe last) Kickstarter campaign, means a lot. If I have your email address, when the book is finished, I will be sending you a pdf. If I do not have... (Read More)
Five Days Left
June 3rd - via: kickstarter.com
This campaign ends next week. So does school for some of my grandchildren. And it is likely that the book will be finished then. Lots of endings. It will also be a beginning. The book will soon be available for purchase. I will need to begin to... (Read More)
Six Days
June 1st - via: kickstarter.com
According to my sources at Kickstarter, we have six days to raise 95% of the goal. Seems overwhelming. Until I remember that God created the world in six days. Of course, I am not God. And those days meant periods of time. So, we will need a miracle.... (Read More)
A Survey for You
May 31st - via: kickstarter.com
We have about a week left of this Kickstarter campaign. It may reach the goal, but I'm not feeling optimistic. So, in lieu of an update, I decided to do a survey. Thanks in advance! https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/NTQLHPB (Read More)
Children Remember
May 30th - via: kickstarter.com
Do those things that your little ones will remember as love Yesterday my eldest grandson, who is 8, reminded me of something I did FOUR years ago. He wanted me to do it again. So I did. I powerwashed my grandchildren's initials into the sidewalk in... (Read More)
A Day in the Life of a Bulldog
May 27th - via: kickstarter.com
Listening for breakfast As I write this update, Clemmy is making all kinds of weird noises next to me, rolling around on her back on the carpet. Made me think about her day as compared to mine. There are similarities, but mostly differences. You... (Read More)
What is Luck?
May 26th - via: kickstarter.com
Thirteen is traditionally seen as an unlucky number. Hotels and apartment buildlings number their floors 11, 12, 14, 15. Some folks get worried on Friday, 13th. Apparently, that's doubly unlucky. For me, I don't believe in luck. So I happily... (Read More)
No Words
May 25th - via: kickstarter.com
It takes a lot to render an author speechless. But a random and senseless slaughter of children will do it. No update today. (Read More)
Four for the price of one.

One of the children who will be enjoying Clemmy Gets a Family in the future. Thank you to everyone who is cheering me on through this journey. We have good news. Our illustrator, Tejal, has recovered from her various illnesses and is again hard at... (Read More)
Third Week of the Campaign
May 23rd - via: kickstarter.com
Tomorrow marks the beginning of the third week of our Kickstarter campaign. If this was a marathon, we would be about halfway through. Personally, I've never done one, but I can imagine that this would be the point where a person might start to think... (Read More)
Hashtags and Heartache
May 20th - via: kickstarter.com
I was just reading a Facebook post by a lovely young lady who was lamenting the fact that few respond to her tweets, posts, etc. Social media is so disheartening! Unfortunately, for authors, it's also necessary. In my case, being from the pre-tweet... (Read More)
Pushing forward
May 19th - via: kickstarter.com
Ever heard "it doesn't rain, unless it pours?" Right now where I live in Northern Virginia, we're getting a LOT of rain. The result is gorgeous profusions of flowers and--mud. Our Clemmy project is the same. Working with Tejal is wonderful--but... (Read More)

Fear of Failure
May 17th - via: kickstarter.com
The story in Clemmy Gets a Family starts with a fearful puppy and ends with a dog who is so confident she scares away an intruder. In the subsequent books, Clemmy learns to communicate with her family and how God has uniquely gifted her to... (Read More)
Keeping it Real
May 16th - via: kickstarter.com
According to Kickstarter, these updates are supposed to be uniformly positive, telling everyone about our amazing progress. But what if things are not going so well? Like the illustrator and her son in India have a severe cold with a fever (take a... (Read More)
My Shrooming Puppy
May 14th - via: kickstarter.com
Clemmy joined our family about ten years ago. She was my first dog, and did I ever have a lot to learn! Like, how does a person potty train a puppy? How do I explain to her that biting hurts? And how do I tell her about the dangers of illicit drugs?... (Read More)
What is it Like to Write a Book?
May 13th - via: kickstarter.com
I recently came across a Facebook past that asked people how long it took them to write their book. Answers varied from 40 years to 6 months. My answer would have been, "it depends what you mean by the question." In my experience, I may think about a... (Read More)
Why, with your help, I'm doing this
May 11th - via: kickstarter.com
Thank you all so much! We have made a great start. This morning I was thinking through WHY I want to publish these books. After all, there are so many children's books out there. I think it is because of one difference from what I have seen... (Read More)
