I just met an older gentleman who, after finding out about the book I wrote, went on to tell me about the stories he would make up about the things his children would wonder about. One of the greatest benefits I have received from writing Fritz Fombie Have No Fear is hearing how books or verbal stories have affected people in such positive ways. It seems people from all walks of life come alive when I talk about or show them the book I wrote. Books seem to be one of the few things that bring all people together in a positive and hopeful way, no matter whether you're the writer or the reader. Remember you're bigger than your fears even if you're still on the under side of four feet.

Fritz Fombie Have No Fear has been successfully launched. It's at the top of the first page of the "kids overcoming fear" word search on Amazon. The easy way to find the book is to type in the title on the amazon word search. It will take a week or two until the look inside feature on Amazon is available for the book. At that point you should be able to read 10% of the book before you decide whether or not to buy it. It should also be ready for the Kindle in less than two weeks.

I hope kids will find Fritz Fombie Have No Fear exciting, funny, and suspenseful. May our kids live fearlessly with smiles aglow. I thank all those who have supported me. The journey has just begun. Thank you!

After six months of writing and illustrating, my book, Fritz Fombie Have No Fear, is one mouse click away from being published. CreateSpace has my proof copy in the mail. I'll read it and if all is good, it will soon become available for purchase on Amazon.
 As a  writer, I've put my heart and soul into Fritz Fombie Have No Fear. It's terrifying as I wait to see what will become of this endeavor that I've undertaken, but I'm also filled with hope at the same time. I tried to write an imaginatively wild story, yet through all the fun and whimsical flow of the book I tried to earnestly help children to see that they're bigger than their fears. My feelings have soared and fallen like a boat in the ocean in the last couple of months. Wish me luck as Fritz Fombie Have No Fear finds its way into the hands of kids. May the joy of a sunny day find a home in every child's heart.

I'm a middle-grade novelist, comic strip creator, greeting card maker, picture book author, illustrator, and crochet hat designer. I keep busy!I have written a middle-grade novel titled Fritz Fombie Have No Fear, which will hopefully be available on Amazon by the end of March or early April. It's a fantasy/comedy/thriller that also helps children to see they're bigger than their fears. Hopefully children will be able to carry a little less fear into adulthood once they have read Fritz Fombie Have No Fear. We live in a time where many of us have fear because of what happens in our world. I wrote Fritz Fombie Have No Fear in a whimsical, funny way so children can enjoy the moment and see life in a positive way. Please come along on this writing adventure with me. Smile, I promise we'll have fun!
