So happy to discover that A Penny for Your Thoughts is the Winner in the Poetry category in the Top Shelf Magazine Awards!
Congratulations to all the winners and finalists…
A fun memory sent from Shutterfly – My first booksigning at Barnes & Noble in Vestal, NY – The TV crew appeared and provided me with my 5 minutes of fame! Santa’s Birthday Gift has since become a best-seller!
I think that TV clip is still available on my amazon author page…
Happy Holidays!!!
Addie is the little girl in the blue dress!
I was looking through some postings from 2012, and found this lovely tribute to Addie, my CureJM kid who was the basis for my CureJM Fundraiser. Addie is now a thriving, beautiful teenager, still battling this disease but has it much more under control. We are still looking for that cure!
Addie has also been a character in all of my subsequent children’s books, and was part of the Manner-Man cover…
Note from a Classmate
Lovely note from a former classmate…
“I read A Dime is a Sign from cover to cover, hadn’t intended to do it so quickly but found it almost impossible to put down, and finished it up in the middle of last night. I thought it was wonderful…, I decided to mark off which poems I liked the best or felt that connected with me especially, so made a light mark in pencil so that I would be sure and tell you which ones. And, lo and behold, it is a list that goes on forever, so it would be senseless to tell you. But I wanted to tell you that I liked A Dime is a Sign tremendously…I am so sure that I know which one was used for the wedding, at least I thought so the minute I read it. “I Love You” is what I chose. Do you know which one it was?…One poem that I found particularly lovely was “Worship” and would love to see that used at the Cathedral during a service someday. All in all, a most fabulous collection of your poetry.. I will read it over and over again. You made me feel warm and fuzzy. What a talent you have for writing and giving happiness. Lucky you!”
Thank you, Betsy!
From 2009 through 2012, the Barnes & Noble in Binghamton, NY loved my books and I had multiple book-signings and my books were carried on their shelves… Until we moved down to the Philly area where they “won’t consider Print-on-Demand books” It’s really sad…
Book Signing at Barnes & Noble
On the shelves…Featured Author
They are all still available online at barnesandnoble.com however, as well as amazon.com and there are signed copies on eBay…
What Santa gives, not gets!
For anyone wishing to share best-selling Santa’s Birthday Gift with little ones this Christmas, the books are still available on barnesandnoble.com and signed ones are available on eBay… Apparently amazon is sold out, but more have been ordered.
Here are the links: (If you purchase on eBay you can also request the book personalized with the child’s name, plus the signature.)

I love this review for A Dime is a Sign from Linda Weaver Clarke. It is wonderful to learn that someone has identified with an expression of feeling…
