    About this ebook

    A collection of silly, light-hearted stories in poetic form for kids 6-12 that looks at the weirdness of everyday life; relatives that turn into werewolves; dishes of food becoming dangerous; and ice age creatures that sneeze into your refrigerator, and many more quirky ways of looking at life through a kids filtering lens.

Previously published material include a winning entry in Half-Price Books "Say Goodnight to Illiteracy" inaugural anthology; short stories published in Dogwood Tales literary magazine; several poems published in anthologies by World Poetry Movement and The Pedestal Magazine. Besides teaching and writing I enjoy fishing, camping, and other outdoor activities and paintball.
