Some Exciting News!!!!!!

Hello! How is everybody? For some reason, I can't get my blog entries to post on blogger.com anymore, so i hopethis works. The following ntry has nothing to do with Penny Brown we are still wooking on the seconmd book. Finding a publisher who is a ight fit for us takes time and patience, so please, just bear with us.

While waiting on Michelle to finish drawing and in between trying to find publishers for book #2, I decided to pursue some of my own writing. Las wek, I was surfing the web, when I came across Readers Diget.com . They were holding a contest entitled "Your Life in 15 Words or Less." I thought about this for quite awile. Most of my life experieinces come from taking cae of my Gradmother with Alzheimer's Disease. Grandma and I battled this togetherfor six years, as caregiver and caregivee. A lot of this was sad. I was often strssed beyond belief, and there were some funny moments too.

I wrote a story for Readers Digest called "Dream....Believe...Acieve." The story is about the time Grandma lost her detures. Sandy (our caregiver) tried to help us find them. She even looked in the trah can. By the end of the day, I was beginnig to loose hope that we would ever find them. I also began to pray because I knew dentures would be more than either Grandma or I could afford. Sandy had looked in a blue cup that Grandma left sittingon the counter. No dentures. The next morning as I was getting rady to call the dentist, Granma found the issing dentures in the same cup Sandy had looked in the day before. The inscriptionon the cup read Dream....Believe....Achieve.

I submitted this story to Reader Digest last wek. By Friday, I recieved ane-mail frmo the editors saying , "Your Story has Captured our attention." Unbelievable!!!!! The story is posted on Facebook.

I am asking all of you who might read this to go "Like" Readers Digest on Facebook. Then, go to the contest tab on the left side of the page. Ten type Brittany in the search for entries. Click Dream....Believe...Achieve in the searchbox, and read it and vote. I am in the running for cash prizes. Thanks in advance.

Some Unexpected Weekend Sales

WOW!!!!! Ithas been a long time since I updated this blog. I am ver sorry about that. The truth is....there has not been much going on in the Penny Brown wold lately. Michelle is working hard on illustrating the second book in The Peny Brown Series. While I m hesitant to reveal the title, I will tell everyone that a member of Penny Brown's family deals with a serious illnss. The second book is lose to my heart, and I am excited about it.

With that being said Michelle and I are also looking in to publishers. We love Strategic, but wanted to explore all the options open to us If anyone has self-published a book, it can be difficult to get into the different venue to sell that book. So, currently, I am researching publishers to determine the right fit for Penny Brown.

I was excited because I sold two books in Pryor, Oklahoma two weeks ago. I leared that it pays to have copies of books with you at all times, even if you don't expect to sell anything, someone may surprise you.

As always, we are loking for plaes to read and sign copies of the wheelchair book. If someone would like to host an event for us, please contact me at taz_lover74330@yahoo.com
