A FAIRY TALE FOR ALL BEINGS, IS AVAILABLE!

I woke up on a Saturday morning 25 years ago with the words, "Pam's Charge," in my head. My inner voice corrected me, No, Tam's charge. Who's Tam and what's a charge? I wanted to know.

For the next few weeks I simply wrote what I saw and what I heard in my head.  I thought here's a short story, but no, 150 plus pages later I had a novel. And, now it has illustrations.  Here's a taste:

A charge, as everyone knows, is a human that a fairy watches over. Fairies offer love and encouragement; no fairy would ever interfere or judge her charge.  But Tam did. And that is where our story begins...in the kitchen of Tam's charge.

"I can't face this mess," the charge groaned just staring at the dirty dishes piled in the sink.  Then the human shuffled into the dining room and sank into the oak chair.  She shook her head in despair accidentally dumping Tam from her left shoulder.

Tam scrambled back up to her left shoulder position and exploded, "Honestly, ungrateful human.  She IS a mess! She's as stupid as an elf."    

Tam had no loving support to offer as other fairies would.  She crossed her arms over the fairy chest in frustration, letting a little hum go though her wings. Completely unaware that her charge was ready to burst into tears, Tam began examining her wings. She was acting very un-fairy-like, she was not practicing her Fairy Fundamentals.  In fact, Tam was in deep trouble for her horrid behavior.

As Anna Trumbo, said, "I read Tam when I was 11 years old, and it was my favorite book.  I'm 34 now. I read all the time, and it's still my favorite book."

If you'd like to join Tam and her fairy friends on their adventures, you'll find my first book in the Fairy Fundamental Series: Tam's Journey: A Fairy Tale forAll Beings on amazon.com

I am delighted to announce that my new book, You Are Not Your Problem, is available!

Is it for you? Here are some questions to ask yourself.

Have you ever felt crushed by your problems, or entangled by your problems?

Have your problems ever made you sick or at least upset?

Do you know people who think their problem is a part of them, like a full time victim?

This little book helps you shift from feeling under your problems to feeling more empowered to solve them.

You Are Not Your Problem is a 40-page illustrated book designed to lift your sprits while you help yourself untangle from your problems. A great Christmas gift, or companion to therapy, or self-help book, it is written in simple, straight-forward language so anyone can understand it. The charming drawings communicate the concepts clearly.

How did this book come about? My parents could transform the everyday into play. Dad floated flowers in the toilet on birthdays. Mom played music to dust by on the piano to inspire us to do chores. As a result, I love to learn especially if it's fun. I designed this book not only to make you smile but to help you see yourself, your friends and family. Kris's drawings gave my story, that I wrote 30 years ago, charm and character; and made it easy for even children to understand. I hope it helps you untangle yourself while it brings a smile to your lips.
