UPDATE! 🌹🎉

I realize not many people have access to much right now, so I put the eBook version of Beyond The Mark down to the lowest I could on Amazon, which is $0.99

Hope this helps it become more accessible, I'd rather continue the story than make money, so I hope you enjoy!

Stuff I’ve learned about making books for kids #37:

👑 Story rules all. It’s the King, Queen, and Supreme Leader. (Just about every decision should be based on the question “does this make the story better?)

My sister's boyfriend left ribs that he smoked last night at our house. I know I saw a large bottle of BBQ sauce on the kitchen counter. I got back from work, heated up 2 ribs & that turkey had taken the sauce home because it was his! Ribs without BBQ sauce?! SMH!!!

I sure enjoyed you Wednesday Wrap Up 😎. And it does take a while to get animals on the endangered species list🤔. I'm not sure, but it seems like the Monarch butterfly may be on it now. Because they're endangered due to habitat loss & of their source of food - milkweed.

Giving a book is an invitation to new worlds, a spark for imagination, and a lasting treasure—a message that says, “I see you, and I care about what moves you.”

Well, my day is winding down, and I've had much more sugar than I should. Now I'm craving a chill dog!

Nothing more savory than than sausage-shaped, pork flavored claydo on a bun!
