 (elf picture courtesy of debspoon at DigitalFreePhotos.net) HAPPY HOLIDAYSI'm hoping by now that you've been finding the perfect gifts for everyone on your list. There are only 35 days before Christmas. Continuing with ideas for book giving, today I showcase Elizabeth Maginnis, the author of There's a Dog on the Dining Room Table, illustrated by Annie Dwyer Internicola. What would you do if you found a dog on your dining room table? Would you try to figure out what he’s doing there? That’s what happens in There’s a Dog on the Dining Room Table, a short and silly story about a dog’s mysterious appearance on top of a child’s dining room table. Elizabeth’s beloved Shiba Inu dog Barney, the subject of this story, had a heart of gold, especially when it came to his feline family. He so enjoyed playing with them that one day he jumped up on top of Elizabeth’s dining room table with them during a rousing game of chase. Elizabeth wrote There’s a Dog on the Dining Room Table as a love letter to his memory. You can go to Amazon where you can look inside for a preview. amazon There's a Dog on the Dining Room Table Kindle price is $2.99 and paperback is just $9.99 I got the opportunity to read this sweet tale and between the story and the illustrations it's simply adorable, written for younger children. This would make a wonderful gift and to make it even better, why not purchase a stuffed dog to go with it? This is a tale that children will want to hear over and over again Short, simple, and sweet - the perfect inexpensive gift. And speaking of simplified, make your Christmas shopping quick and easy by purchasing books online. LHR, my dear friends.  HAPPY HOLIDAYS

Poetry can warm your heart and soul this winter As I mentioned in my last post, I feel that my heart belongs to writing but my soul belongs to poetry. I have written poetry since I was young. I wish I would have kept what I wrote but I didn't. I have put all my books on sale as a gift to you for all your support including my treasured book of poetry. All my works are available for just 99 cents from Nov 2014 through Jan 2015. Later, I'll list where you can find my books. Stepping Stones is a collection of my works in a wide range of categories. This cover came to me in a dream and thanks to the genius of Joleene Naylor's cover art, it came to life. One of my goals in life is to get people interested in poetry again. There are so many forms and genres available that there's surely one to fit your interest. I write mainly in rhyme but don't let that stop you from getting my book and enjoying the many poems. Here are a few samples that you'll find in Stepping Stones: The Falling Snow The falling snow lays quietly atop the field, upon the trees. In thick flurries it now surrounds all of nature on frozen grounds. It’s not the same as wind or rain that slams against the window pane. The gales will moan and shriek and blow, and often they make quite a show. The sleet will prance its chilling dance-- plummet and ping at every chance. The gusts will swirl and seem a fright. Yet it can’t change the earth to white. Mists drizzle down through clouds of grey or drench the sod, still rare will stay. Glistening flakes so bright at night make not a sound when they alight. But gentle fluff descends aglow and cloaks the world in icy dough. It’s wonder as the eyes do gaze, as silently its sheen be splayed. San Francisco Ask of me romantic. I’ll mention a city. I’d confidently say San Francisco. Dubbed the Bay Area. Modern, yet eccentric. Parking garages, clanging cable cars. Roads that weave up and down. The ferries on the bay. Aromatic delis and restaurants. Streets crowded with tourists. Busy Ghirardelli. Diverse attractions at Fisherman’s wharf. The red Golden Gate Bridge. Fetching Golden Gate Park. Across the bay, charming Sausalito. The Marina District. Bustling Pacific port. The peninsula crossed by 3 bridges. The prison Alcatraz. Pier 39 sea lions. Rising mists from the Pacific Ocean. Eclectic and diverse. City of Seven Hills. Romantically defined - San Francisco. The Waterfall How I love a waterfall-- gushing, rushing down Earth’s wall, crashing hard upon the ground, as it splatters all around. Watch its many molecules sparkling like pure shiny jewels. Riding, gliding o’er the trail, Briskly coursing through the vale. Oh, those hydro beads have fun, dashing, splashing on the run.

This is the season to promote Indie Authors and help readers find the perfect books for gifts. LHR my friends. 
Happy Holidays Week Two Keeping up with my list of books for holiday gifts, this week I showcase poetry books. Last week, I pointed out two individuals for book covers and suggested how unique this gift would be for that special author or small business owner. You can click on my older posts to read those. All this week I will be promoting poetry by Indie Authors. I have often said that my heart belongs to writing but my soul belongs to poetry. Poetry is not as popular as in past times but there are still plenty of modern-day skilled poets, and there are many who enjoy a good poetry book. Bonnie Mutchler is a poet but not a good one. No. She is beyond excellent and pure genius. Her works are hauntingly bewitching. And here's the best part - her books are FREE! I only wish I could write poetry half as good as she can. I have several of her books and thoroughly enjoy reading each one. The Egg of Orlin is just one of her many books. Here's a sample of her poetic style: The Ancient Tomb Sealed in the tomb Was the crown of doom On the ancient brow of bone, And his knights, so bold, Had long grown cold, Their bodies turned to stone. See what I mean? Poetry, like novels has several genres and Ms. Mutchler writes in fiction, horror, fantasy, life, and love to name just a few. What could make a better gift than inspiring, haunting poetry? I'll tell you what. Ms. Mutchler's works are FREE, FREE, FREE! Her works are available on Smashwords and Smashwords has the capability of downloading to most e-readers. Here's her Smashwords page where you can find all her works: https://www.smashwords.com/profile/view/bonniemutchler So, not only grab these books as gifts for your poetry lovers but grab them for yourself as well. Winter is settling in so relax, have a cup of whatever, and read her delightful poetry. Make this Holiday Season special, not only for you and those you love but also for Independent Authors and small businesses. ******Now, I make a special plea. Please retweet, facebook like, G+, stumble upon, email or share in any way you can these holiday posts. Let's help all these authors by getting the word out about their works. Let's put smiles on as many people as we can this season. LHR, my dear friends
