My YA novel is being published

After five years of trying to get it published my YA novel, If I Could Be Like Jennifer Taylor, is being published next year by MuseItUp Publishing!!!! I think this is something I have always thought would happen, but now that it is a reality it is still very much a dream! It will be in e-book form for a year and then it will be in print.

If you are a writer keep trying to get your work published and don't give up if you think it is worthy. :)

My children's story, "The Trouble with Follow the Leader"

Hi everyone,

Barry said I could put my writing here so I thought I'd start with the only story I've ever sold. This is a children's story and it comes straight from my life. As you read it I hope you can see some connections for using it with your classes. I would love to have any of you use it. If you do decide to use it, please let me know. I'm going to be reading this on the Robins Falls Story Time on Blog Talk Radio. This will be on Wednesday, June 24, 2009. I hope all of you will tune… Continue

Hello Barbara

That would be awesome to write a children's book. I use to make up verbal stories for my 2 youngest one's.

I moved my blog to http://mariemyers.webs.com/apps/blog

You just gave me a reason to take my thoughts of writing more seriously
Thank you

Hello Barbara,

I wanted to let you know of my blog on Proof of abuse by our Troops. The pics I did not save and load, that is why they did not load. I am sorry if I caused any confusion but its not real abuse.

Armed American Troops Force Iraqis to Seesaw Until They Talk!
Iraqi Child Bites GI In Self Defense After Obvious Torture!
GI Overheard to say 'Talk or I'll tickle you till you pee!' More Evidence Of Failed US Intelligence Policy.
Soldier Attempts to Eat (pic is a soldier hugging a child) Iraqi Child !
Clear Evidence of Forced Labor by Troops! (pic of child walking with soldier)
Soldier Caught At 'Tickle-Torture' To Extract Intelligence!
GI Forces Iraqi Child To Hang By Fingertips! (child hanging onto soldier hand in fun)
The last picture was of a soldier craddling an injured child

I deleted the post to avoid any further confusion
