Where Does the Time Go????????

It doesn't seem posible that it has been so long since I last posted a blog. Since retiring in September, I have been writing, writing, writing and have two children's picture books completed, a young readers mystery/suspense manuscript completed, and have completed my Young Adult novel, FOR LOVE OF TEDDY. Teddy is making the rounds of publishers and agents as I write here.

Teddy tells the story of a high school senior who takes on drug dealers...and WINS! In this time of drugs and overdosing, I decided to use my writing talents to show young people that there are better ways to live and to show them that they CAN overcome their problems. I plan to extend this and write about all of the problems today's society throws at our young people. I want to do everything possible to help young people turn their lives around. And I am joining my publisher in a campaign to raise money to get these novels into the hands of young people all over the world. And YOU CAN HELP.

There are two ways you can help. First, when you purchase any of several items offered at the following site - http://www.promofundraising.com/promo5748 a portion of your purchase goes into a fund to help reach at risk children through my novel. These are items almost everyone can use and it will mean so much in the sponsoring of this project.
OR . . .
You may make donations in any amount to help sponsor this project and reach out to young people everywhere. You can make donations through Paypal at www.paypal.com using your credit card or bank account. Just fill out the form they provide, naming Desert Melody Publishing in the Pay To part and giving the address desertmelodypublishing@msn.com
If you feel as strongly as I do about reaching out to young people, then I am inviting you to join this campaign and help sponsor this project and hope for young people.
