Greet News Coming to My Honeysuckle Tree


Happy Monday! I just have to make this announcement. Are you ready for this?????? You better sit down for this one. Book #7 is about to be created. That's right, my manuscript has been accepted for publishing by Featherweight Publishing House out of New York. I have contract in hand and I have been assigned an editor to work with me on completing this project. I am blessed to have my foot in the door with this new book idea. They say the editor loved the story. Now isn't that just fabulous! That wasn't a question....it was a statement.

The story needs some more tweaking before it is ready to hit the stores and shelves. I can't wait to see what kind of book cover they will do. Oh yeah, I have my input on that too.

Stay tune for a new book release to be added to this blog. Oh dag, I forgot, I still have to finish adding my other ones on here. I stay so busy. I will work on that this evening. Meantime, I am going to go and get me something to eat, have a mid afternoon snack because I just worked up an appetite.

Keeping them Coming


Another great book listed here on Honeysuckle is Smiles and Frowns through Animal Town's Storybook. This is a little book with a long title; however, there is a reason for that, because inside this book are five great stories. That's right, I said it.....5. Most of the main characters in this story teller are animals. That's because kids love our four legged friends, both big and small. It has 56 pages and it too is full of imagination and surprise.

Inside you will find such titles as Slow Poke and Speedy, The Bears Adventure Day, Dutchy's Sunshine Party, Escape From Shady Grove Farm and Buster Brown Bear's Manners. With titles like these, you know this book is for 6-10 year olds, for there is something in it for everyone.

Slow Poke and Speedy is a new version of the old classic "The Tortoise and the Hare."
The Bears Adventure Day shows the trouble that three bear cubs get into when they decide to go exploring.
In Dutchy's Sunshine Party, The main character tries to save the day when his party becomes threatened when blue skies suddenly turn grey.
Escape from Shady Grove Farm is a tale of some pretty smart turkeys working together to escape their fate on Thanksgiving Day.
Last but not least is Buster Brown Bear's Manners, the bear in this story needs manners in a hurry if he is to attend a dinner party at a fancy restaurant. Can you teach a bear manners? You will have to read the book to find out.

Now, don't you think this is a must have book to have on your shelf?
With the world in such a Topsy-turvy shape, it's good to sit down with a good book and escape the jungles of the outside world.

This book is also sold at: http://www.amazon.com

My Honeysuckle Books


You know, I just love the smell of Honeysuckle, that is what inspired me to create this blog just for my books. Though my books are published by different publishers, they are still my Honeysuckle books. So I will eventually get them all listed here and they will come with a short description so you will see what you are getting.

Good books aren't hard to find when you know what you are looking for. Sometimes, you pick up a book just because of its cover...it lures you so that you can buy and then discover what lies within. The same goes for children books, you have to lure your readers in, grabbing their attention.

Books are like mini movies with an expression of the storyteller or author. So with that said, Sugar and Spice Fairy Tales for Girls is a book that holds 3 mini movies you might say. The 70 page book contains titles such as: Macy's Apple Tree Friend, Too Big for US and Wishes Granted.

This is the perfect storybook for 6-9 year old kids, but of course, 10-year-old readers will enjoy it too. In Macy's Apple Tree Friend, the main character discovers a secret that has been around since her mother was a young girl. In Too Big for Us- Favorite toys try to hid away from the inevitable, and in Wishes Granted- the wizard comes to the rescue of a unicorn and a dragon.

This oldie but goodie book is full of imagination, drama and a little suspense. At times it will even tickle your funny bones. Sugar and Spice Fairy Tales for Girls has the right ingredients that creates great reading entertainment and one that touches the spirit of young readers far and wide.

So, the next time you are in the market for some good reading material for your young readers......remember my books, and this one in particular.

Sugar and Spice Fairy Tales for Girls can be bought at Amazon.com

Trust me when I say.......it's a great buy.
