Ugly as a Toad!

I am the self published author of Ugly as a Toad, a well loved children's picture book. I published through authorhouse publishing company.

I have always wanted to be a writer! Actually, I have always been a writer, and really wanted to see my work in a book like many, more than you realize!

So I did it! I wrote a story that was fun, had educational teaching components (I am also a teacher) and had the message to love yourself just the way you are!

Then I published! It was very exciting! I couldn't wait, I had to keep reminding myself that patience is a virtue! It was uplifting to see a dream coming true one piece at a time!

Then, wahlah! Product in hand! Let the fun begin! This was not what I expected, but even better. I did not become an author to get rich, and this will make a difference, because a few months later I am still not rich, but I am getting emails to do conferences, shows, book signings, and schools are giving me tables at bazaars for donating books. Other writers are asking my thoughts and for information on the process. I am making tons of contacts and really great friends. What an experience! This is really fun!
