Another great gift for your writer friends is to buy their book.

If you’ve already bought it, write a review for Amazon or Goodreads. That would be a terrific gift! This kills 2 birds with one stone.

Buy the book (gift to the writer) give the book away to kids, teachers (teachers are always in need of more books) or friends who love to read.

Happy shopping!

Do you think books add to the magic of Christmas?

Published on November 22, 2015November 21, 2015 by Jean M. Cogdell2 Comments

At our house they do!

And not just the traditional, Night Before Christmas.

My children, and grandchildren love getting books for birthdays and Christmas.

After the dishes are washed, the Legos are scattered and the candy eaten, nothing beats curling up with a new book. For a little while, quiet descends throughout the house through the magic of a good book.

Now is the time to fill those stocking with gifts that last past Christmas morning.

I was so excited when my copies arrived this week!

Are there kids in your family between the ages of 6-9?

If so please add my book to your shopping list!

Just click on the picture and head over to Amazon.com!

Are you Timid, Nervous or Couragous?

Published on November 20, 2015November 19, 2015 by Jean M. Cogdell8 Comments

I’ll admit, I fall somewhere between Timid Tammy and Nervous Nell.

For a positive, happy person, blowing my own horn is not easy. I don’t like to ask for help or favors. I’m a terrible salesperson. I believe in me, but the idea that others might find value in what I’ve accomplished sounds a bit far-fetched.

Hiding behind a computer screen is a lot easier than speaking face-to-face with a group of strangers. I fumble with “the ask.”

I even found it difficult to help my daughter sell her Girl Scout Cookies. Now that’s just plain pitiful. I mean, who can’t sell GS cookies. Everyone loves them. But I ended up buying more than we sold. Of course loving the Peanutbutter patties helped.
