It looks like the new blog looks better than the last one. I have to say, I still don't understand the difference between a widget and a gadget. It's all so confusing to me. Is there an easy to understand book on how to build a blog and more importantly, a blog following? Out of all the blogs we have written, we have had over two viewers only one time. Obviously, we have no clue how to get the word out.
We plan to blog about many things like our grandchildren, children, pets, vacations, health and our books. So let's begin by introducing everyone to our books, then we can move on to other things.
Cathy and I write and self-publish the Robby's Quest children's storybook series. Currently, we have three books as follows:
Robby's Quest for Seed
Robby is a Robin who has teamed up with his brother Ricky
and some other birds, namely the perky Sparrow family, a group of Mourning
Doves and Benny the Blackbird. In this story, the group of life-long feathery
friends decided to fly south to Florida for the winter.
Along the way, Joy, the youngest Sparrow, strays from the
flock and lands in the backyard of Hershey, a very determined and hungry cat.
Her parents and some of the other birds form a search party and hope they find
her before it’s too late.
The birds continue on their journey, only to discover their
winter home has been destroyed by a hurricane. There’s no food and nowhere to
build a nest. The little flock is hungry and exhausted. Should the birds stay
and hope for the best? Or should they use their last energy to carry on flying
west to Arizona?
Robby’s
Quest for Seed is a story about leadership, teamwork and friendship that both
parents and children will enjoy.
Robby's Quest: Ocean Bound
To escape the hot Arizona summer, Robby the Robin and his
band of friends - his brother Ricky, the Sparrow family, a trio of Mourning
Doves and Benny the ever dependable Blackbird - fly west to San Diego in search of a cool summer breeze
and some seaside fun. Upon arriving in San Diego, Joy and her new friend Josie
wander off to investigate a cruise ship and end up on a voyage they will never
forget.
Will Joy and Josie get back to San Diego and their loved ones? Will an
encounter with a killer whale be one adventure too many for these lovely little
Sparrows? Are their friends and family brave enough to attempt a daring rescue
mission?
These
plucky birds once again demonstrate the strength of their love and loyalty to
each other in this tale about teamwork and trust.
Robby's Quest: Return of the Cat
Joy the Sparrow and her new best friend Josie want to see
the world and why not start in Las Vegas, where the birds can visit Caesars Palace, the Eiffel Tower and New York City, all in the same day. They persuade
the flock of birds they live with to take a vacation there. So the loyal group
of friends - Sparrows, Robins and a Blackbird - fly there to have some
fun.
However, Hershey the Cat, whom they’ve bumped into before,
is back in the picture and would love nothing more than ruining the birds’
vacation. He’s determined to have at least one of the birds for a morning snack.
Can the birds keep out of his clutches and claws? Will they get to their
destination safely?
The courageous birds are pushed to their limits and Hershey
also has to face some tough truths about himself.
This is a bright and inspiring story about facing challenges
and being the best you can.
All our storybooks are all between 5,000 and 6,500 words and take between 30 and 45 minutes to read. Each book contains several colorful illustrations like the ones on the side bar.
We believe children in the 2nd and 3rd grades will enjoy reading these books and they will also make a great bedtime story for the younger children. We are currently writing the fourth book and have plans for a fifth and final book to wrap up this series.
