"I''m Not a Bear" was written about a little dog of mine, Teddy, who is part Pekinese and part Chihuahua. He is one of the most playful dogs you could ever meet. He never runs out of energy. His playfulness is what prompted this story, because you never know what to expect from him! He makes me laugh with his antics, and I hope children will love him as much as I do.

Dudley is the main character in Im Lost Without You. I had written it as I watched him grieving over the loss of my husband. I hope this book helps children understand that grieving is a process we must go through when we lose someone we love.

This particular childrens book was inspired by one of my dogs, Jake. He would sit and watch every word I would say to him and move his mouth as if he wanted to say something back, but nothing happened. No barking, no howling, just air sounds. It was so cute that I had to write about it. I hope it makes children laugh and realize that even if you cant do something, its okay and that you are perfect just the way you are.
