Welcome to my web site.

Welcome to my website.

The news is exciting. My first book, When Wishes Come True, an allegory for wise children and adults from 8 to 108, written to be an intergenerational reading experience, is now available at both www.amazon.com and www.barnesandnoble.com. It is remarkable, although far from surprising, that I continue to hear how adults are also falling in love with this story.

As of today, there are ten FIVE STAR Reviews on Amazon and four on Barnes and Noble. My wish is for 20 on each site by October 1. Will my wish come true? I am so very grateful to my readers who have taken the time to do this for Oliver and Penelope. 

 Reviews are the best way to create the kind of warm air beneath the wings of these two enchanting birds that will carry them into more homes. For those of you who love  the story and feel comfortable doing so, Oliver and Penelope would appreciate more Five Stars.

I am also thrilled that  my first CD, a tribute to the great lyricist Johnny Mercer,  Remembering Johnny Mercer ~ Centennial Celebration Collection,  is now available on CD Baby. It was recently aired around the country and internationally over the world-wide web on Dick Robinson’s “American Standards By The Sea” program. A heartful of thanks to Claire Conti who made it possible for this to happen.

What sets apart both the book and the CD is a generous portion of the profits will be donated to children who wish to contribute joy to the world through making music. In the case of the CD, the monies will benefit the Friends of Johnny Mercer Education Fund.

                                                                               It has been written when you reach heaven only two questions are asked of you: How much joy did you give? How much joy did you receive?  It is with great joy that I write and sing, and offer what flows from that to you.

Love This Day ~~~
