The GNAW Project by Cynthia Meyers-Hanson The GNAW Project by Cynthia Meyers-Hanson Nov. 29, 2011 $1.99 1137 words Sample 20%
Author bio:
My favorite question during book interviews is: How did you get started? The short answer is that my mother died. Some people dream of being authors; my writing began as what could be described as a nightmare! HOWEVER- as she died, mom’s experiences ran the gamut from going through all the grieving steps a terminal soul follows to having what would be called a Christian Near Death Experience (NDE). When most of her messages from God panned out, people in my area buzzed with the story of my parent’s death. My witness became my first book entitled Mom’s on the Roof and I can’t Get Her Down. After that, I completed seven Christian based, inspirational nonfictions. Changes were coming! Due to a genealogy study, after meeting with some cousins at a local grave yard, I wrote my first novel. Talk about relatives coming out of the woodwork when they think you are famous. I am jesting- of course! My relatives handed me some incredible family secrets asking me to compile a book. I agreed but only if it could be a fiction with tons of poetic license. To date, I’ve released four novels. Then, the really fun writing started. Last year, while working for free at my daughter and her husband’s Christmas tree lot, I blogged my experiences. My encounters that holiday led to my first children’s book ‘Frasier the Fir is Forever Green.’ There are, now, five unique, picture books to choose from. FYI: one of the titles feed homeless and impoverished children through its royalties.
Eric Loves Art by Eric Axelbaum Eric Loves Art by Eric Axelbaum Nov. 16, 2011 $2.99 34 words Sample 10%
Author bio:
Eric Axelbaum is an award-winning elementary school teacher. He has taught second grade for 14 years at Forsyth School, an independent school in St. Louis, Missouri. In 2006, he won the prestigious “Teacher of Distinction” award from Independent Schools of St. Louis (ISSL). Making learning fun and increasing self-esteem are two top priorities he has for his students. Both of his books emphasize these goals. About 20 years ago, Eric was diagnosed with a neurological impairment that made it difficult to write and draw neatly. While admittedly not particularly gifted before, the disability made it even more challenging to create artwork that was enjoyable. Not long after, his medical doctor confirmed what he had already suspected, that he was almost completely color blind, making it virtually impossible to discern between like colors. His first book, Eric Loves Art , demonstrates how a little boy overcomes his physical limitations by learning techniques and using ideas to make art fun. While Eric Loves Art is written specifically for art teachers, its story and moral can be useful to any teacher or parent. In his second book, A Bee With A Degree, he continues these themes by illustrating animals doing things that rhyme with their name. The reader must try to guess what each animal is doing, with clues along the way.
