Tina Turner Tribute
A strong woman with a powerful voice. Truly the Queen of Rock. Visit my website colleenbooks.com to print a word search puzzle I've made in her honor. She's one of my favorites. Hers was the best concert I've ever been to -- front row seat with Joe Cocker as the other act. Great time! Books by me also on my website for children, youth living with epilepsy and novel of historical fiction. Ivy and Audie: A Story for Teens with EpilepsyIvy and Audie: A Story for Teens with Epilepsy

Paperback - Listening to Her Own Voice
Genealogy fans are sure to be inspired by this book. All it took for me was one 8x10 pic and I was off to the races. Fortunately, my ancestors settled just 1/2 hour away from where I grew up in MN and I had access to tons of great info. I'm writing an article this week on genealogy that will contain info on free resources to begin your research. I've also recently interviewed a genealogist and am writing about her interesting life. Sending both out to everyone on my email list. If interested, notify me at colleenbooks.com.
