My New Store + a freebie!

Today I accomplished a goal that's been a long time in my thoughts---opening an online store at Teachers Pay Teachers (TpT). Most of you know I've been writing for the educational market for a while and am also a teacher. I've stood by the past several years watching TpT become successful and have enjoyed products from wonderful sellers. (Teachers Pay Teachers is an online marketplace for teachers to sell their lesson plans and products to other educators and get instant downloads.) Thanks to encouragement from Nancy Sanders and Pam Brunskill, I jumped in, put my fears aside, and started my own little store. 

I have only two products I've written so far. This one on the left is FREE! So if you want to download it, click on the picture and head over to TpT, make a free account, and enjoy it for the holiday season. If you don't want to make an account, give me your email address, and I can send you the pdf file. But this email offer is only for you--my writer friends. 

I also wrote martial arts nonfiction reading passages that integrate the New Year. You can read all about it at TpT if you'd like by clicking on the picture. It was a lot of work! I now admire these teachers who are also creating these products. I chose a martial arts theme since both of my kids have 2nd degree black belts. 

Would you all be interested in learning about the process I went through so you can create an educational product? Do let me know your thoughts! Thanks for letting me share this with you!
