Disappointed in Mirror Publishing

I sent my childrens book manuscript to Mirror publishing without doing my homework first. They want my manuscript, but I have to invest over $500.00 in purchasing my book to promote it...

We know it isn’t easy with all the obstacles of large publishing houses and all the vanity publishers and scams out there. A very good website to check out is Writers Beware. We believe that informa… Continue

Sophie, The Latest Addition to the 'Pack'

Thought I'd post a couple of pictures of Sophie, a whippet/lurcher crossbreed, the latest addition to our home and who will eventually have her story told as one of Harry Porter's Dog tales. Sophie came from a rescue sanctuary after being found as a stray and handed over by the dog warden. She is a lucky girl as a lot of dogs in her predicament end up with a not so happy ending. We love her and think she's beautiful. I hope you agree.

Tilly has proved herself to be a real STAR!

My little crossbreed terrier Tilly, whose book Tilly's Tale will soon be released by 4RV Publishing under my 'Harry Porter' pseudonym, proved herself to be a real star last night. we were on the field near our home walking our dogs, when one of them was attacked by a vicious schnauzer who pinned him to the ground. In a flash, Tilly ran thirty yards and pounced on the attacker and pulled it away from Jarvis, who is 14 years old, almost blind and very deaf, and staying with us as a guest while his… Continue

Reading is too vital to let this happen. There are many books available in a variety of formats that will entice children to continue to read throughout the summer months.
