Sing! Sing! is the story about Gaston and little Gregorie and their owner Mr. Marceau. Mr. Marceau loves the opera. Little Gregorie and Gaston learn how to play the opera on the music player. One day Gaston and little Gregorie decide to play the music of the opera while Mr. Marceau is at work. Little Gregorie remembers how to control the volume button so he turns it all the way up. The music grows so loud that it disturbs the neighbors. This little eBook is both fun and funny and it has a happy ending.
My first memory of writing was when I wrote a Christmas play when I was eight years old. I was a class reporter for my middle school newspaper at 13 years of age. I joined an Explorer's Club in Journalism during my junior year in high school. During my senior year, I wrote a daily paper and the final journal for our week's summer camp. I began writing poetry later in life and then came up with my first idea for a children's book. In "Peaches! Peaches!" I used my childhood home in France as the backdrop for this first eBook in the little Gregorie and Gaston series. This eBook earned a second-place award in the 2012 Reader's Favorite Book Awards contest. In 2013, "Peaches! Peaches!" earned two first place awards in the Purple Dragonfly Book Awards contest. "Hide! Hide!" has earned three awards, and "Happy! Happy!" has earned one award. In November of 2018, "Picture! Picture!" earned two awards and "Birdie! Birdie!" earned one award in the Royal Dragonfly Book Awards contest. In June of 2021, "Hot! Hot! Hot!" received an award through the Purple Dragonfly Book Awards contest. All eleven books in this series of eBooks have received 5-star reviews from Reader's Favorite. I have written other children's eBooks including "A Change of Season" which also received a 5-star review from Reader's Favorite and earned an award in the 2012 Purple Dragonfly Book Awards contest. I began writing my memoir in the early days of the Covid pandemic. After 30 months of writing, editing, and polishing, "All The Way To Santa Fe" is now available on Kindle. I am currently working on a new children's book about a special Corgi.
