| Tubby Oso (Tubby Bear) is a Chihuahua, a breed originally from Mexico. He says, "Hi!" He loves to eat all foods (like his doggie mother did) and chews on furniture and anything on the floor he can pick up with his small teeth. He is 13lbs and his birthday is February 19!" |
| I love writing! My Adventures in Times book series was published in 2008 by Orchard House Press.They're a small press with a great variety of great books! Small Press publishers compete with large corporate publishers like Scholastic for bookstore shelf space to display their books. Small Press books almost always get squeezed out. That means to get the books they print, you have to order them through the small press website, amazon.com, or you can order them through your favorite bookstore. MY PUBLISHED BOOKS Book 1: Storm in Time – the Peddler’s Tale Book 2: Born Between Times – the Salem Witch Trials Currently, I’m working on writing the third novel in the series and rewriting a sci-fi thriller book titled Ave. Rats. |
