From the Society of Children’s Books / Writers & Illustrators (SCBWI) I received the 2012 Sue Alexander Award for best unpublished manuscript of a children’s picture book.  Initial interest in this graphic style book disappeared.  I decided then to pursue independent publishing and selected Smashwords.  On Smashwords, you can check these links.

NIGEL & JINX is about a stray cat coming into the household and the dog being none to happy about it.  (Free)  https://www.smashwords.com/books/view/333436

DEATH relates to my mother’s questions in conversations we had before her death. (Free)  https://www.smashwords.com/books/view/337414
