Quirks and Quills, “Next Big Thing Blog Tour” Adventure

Good Day Folks,

Welcome to my latest adventure!

Quirks and Quills, “Next Big Thing Blog Tour”

First of all, let me thank, Janet Mclaughlin, author of the awesome books “Get Psyched” and her newest “Psyched out” for inviting me along on this book tour. Here you’ll have a chance to follow along and meet authors of all genres. I would like to thank Jodi Stone author of two books “Savannah’s Story and A Easter Bonnet for Lily” her blog is http://www.goodreads.com/author_blog_posts/3884835-quirks-and-quills-next-big-thing-blog-tour

This will be a Q&A where you will get to know a little more about me. I hope you enjoy the writing adventure I am enjoying. I hope you enjoy, and make sure to follow the next author on the tour, Christy Sloat. Her links you’ll find below after my Q&A.

Q&A with Wendy Nystrom, currently children books author
1. What is the working title of your next book? Helga Returns, It released in February 2013 from Anchor Group Publishing. Book 2 James and Syvok Adventures.
‘

2. Where did the idea come for the book? The book came from my son spotting a foot print on the shore, while living in Iceland. We were looking at an Iceberg that floated down our local fjord near Akrueyri, Iceland.

3. Genre? This is an adventure children’s book ages 7 and up.
.

4. What, if any actors would you star to play in a movie version of this book? I really have no idea since I see my children and friends in the characters.

5. What is a one sentence synopsis of the book? Your child will feel the thrill of this magical adventure that starts with a foot print, that takes flight on dragons a back up a mountain, discover Yamas a village deep inside a mountain and more adventures.

6. Who is the publisher of the book? This book is published through Anchor Group Publishing. They are a traditional publisher made up of an amazing group of authors. http://anchorgrouppublishing.com/

7. Would you compare your books to others out there, and if so what books are yours most like? To me it is part of me . Some have told me it is unique, lord of ringish and like neverending story. Makes me blush with those kinds of remarks.

8. Who inspired this book? My son James, family, friends, moving around a lot and Iceland.

9. What else would the reader maybe like to know, or what might pique their interest? I was totally surprised that Autistic and ADHD Children enjoy my books and read them in one sitting. I was so pleased to hear this from a few mom’s. I just want all kids to go on adventures, have fun and explore.

Wonderous Wednesday Children Adventures! Cecilia Spark

Good Day Folks

Just wanted to update you all. I loved Cecilia Spark. Can’t wait to download the Second book.The Adventures of Cecilia Spark – the Mystical Mountains of Terra (Volume 20) It is available in print right now. I think most kids will love this book. Reading level 2nd grade through 6th grade.

A little about the Author Nagaire Elder:

I was born and raised in Glasgow, Scotland. I spent most of my childhood playing outside with my brother and my imaginary friends and feasting on my granny’s homecooking.
I remember the magpie that followed me round my garden one summer and the day my grandpa found the wild bunnies which I had captured and hidden in my bedroom.
After leaving school I went to college and university (part-time) and embarked on a career in the health and safety sector, qualifying in 1993.
I met my husband through my work and we have 4 children.
Now I spend my time looking after my family, taking care of our collection of animals (3 dogs, 1 cat, 2 horses, 2 pigs, 3 ferrets and 1 budgie), nurturing our kitchen garden, learning Spanish, speaking Spanish, reading and writing.

This is my first children’s book and the first in the new series – The Adventures of Cecilia Spark.
I am currently working on Cecilia Spark’s 2nd adventure, which is called The Adventures of Cecilia Spark – THE MYSTICAL MOUNTAINS OF TERRA (updated 17 May 2012).
I published book 2 in my series in October 2012 – the Mystical Mountains of Terra is now available as a paperback (updated 01 Nov 2012). Join Cecilia Spark on her 1st BIG adventure.

Good Day Folks,

I am way behind on my reading adventures. I was hoping to finish this book this week but other things interrupted me this week. I am about half way through The Adventures of Cecilia Spark: The Brimstone Forrest. Right now I am totally in enthralled with this adventure story. I think every kid would enjoy this book. I like Cecilia Spark would love to have her as my friend. More later when I finish the story. You can enjoy the book it is available on amazon.com

Wonderous Wednesday Children Adventures!

Good Day Folks,

Today I am starting Wondrous Wednesdays. I will show case a children’s story every Wednesday.

My first children’s book adventure to report on is Jaimie Hope’s book The Adventures of Baby Jaimie; Baby Jaimie Goes to the Hospital. Published by Anchor Group Publishing.

This book will be available on amazon October 22nd.

Baby Jaimie is a delightful child who nearly always has a positive attitude and nothing stops her from moving forward. Not even her wheel chair.

In this story she is excited that summer vacation is going to start and has many plans. But those plans are halted by an illness. She is disappointed and must face her fears of going to the hospital for surgery. With the support of her family and friends she overcomes her fears and pain and bravely conquers her fear. She plays with the other children in the hospital, asks questions about her care. Yes her summer vacation is delayed a few days. Baby Jaimie leads you down the positive path that tomorrow she will be ready to enjoy her fun adventures.The author draws you in with children’s real fears they have about life’s troubles. She addresses those troubles honestly while entertaining you or a child at the same time. I highly recommend this book for all children. Because all children like to have fun but at the same time children have troubles that they want to understand. Baby Jaimie Adventures series addresses children’s concerns.

You can read about the author other Baby Jaimie Adventures that are available today at. http://www.amazon.com/Jaimie-Hope/e/B002BLNDXM/ref=sr_tc_2_0?qid=1350487723&sr=1-2-ent

Next up is Ethan’s Story: My life with Autism, By Ethan Rice

http://www.amazon.com/Ethans-Story-Life-With-Autism/dp/098553852X/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1344519132&sr=8-1&keywords=ethans+story+my+life+with+autism

This book is written from an child’s point of view and Ethan did a fabulous job relating his story. The book is colorful and fun. While at the same time teaches us the struggles and misunderstanding of children with autism. My girls read the book and thought it was quite interesting. They have an autism program at their school. And at times would come home and ask why did a AI child to this or that. After reading the book and being exposed properly at school they now have a better understanding and realize these children have the same struggles as they do in school. They just have a different way it is portrayed in the public. I found this read insightful, fun and interesting. And Yes Ethan we are the way we are and its a good thing we all have special gifts and struggle. I am purchasing this book for our schools Autistic program at the school. I hope the school will incorporate the book at the school and use it as a learning tool.You can keep up with Ethan’s adventures on Facebook at https://www.facebook.com/EthansStoryMyLifeWithAutism

Next up in Stacey Rourke’s book Conduit-Gryphon Series. I was going to review Embrace. Conduit is the first in her exciting Gryphon witty series so I decided to start with Conduit.
