a new adventure

I have always had a passion for the written word. But it was not until my two wonderful little girls were born that I was more inspired to write. So I am writing a book to hopefully begin a series of books based on my children. The book is titled
*Aisley and Ala* When I Grow Up

and it is about a common argument my daughters have about what they are going to do when they grow up.

I have enlisted the help of a new friend and fantastic artist named Natascha Artworx to do the illustrations for the book. She has already completed a rough draft that looks amazing. Take a look at her other work at http://natascha-artworx.webs.com/

Be looking out for a sneak peak of the book in this blog. Let me know what you think, follow / subscribe the blog and tell your friends to visit the site as well.

We need your feedback and your help to get the word out! Thanks!

Pages 1-3

Page 1: One very rainy, very dreary Monday morning, Aisley and Ala were occupying their time playing dress up with their many dresses and accessories.

With a stethoscope in one hand and a little orange stuffed tiger in the other, Aisley said proudly, “When I grow up, I’m gonna be an ANIMAL DOCTOR!”

Page 2: Ala, who was not at all impressed, looked mischievously at Aisley, put on a tiara and a sparkly pink dress and quickly retorted, “Well, when I grow up, I’m gonna be a PRINCESS!”

Page 3: Aisley rolled her eyes, started rummaging through their toy bin and grabbed her toy microphone, “Well, when I grow up, I’m gonna be a SINGER!”

I'm Writing A Book!

I have started out on a new adventure! I have always had a passion for the written word. But it was not until my two wonderful little girls were born that I was more inspired to write. So I am writing a book to hopefully begin a series of books based on my children. The book is titled Aisley and Ala: When I Grow Up and it is about a common argument my daughters have about what they are going to do when they grow up.
