Hi, GENIUS WORKSHOP,
I haven't heard from you in a while. What books have your nephews read lately?
Are any of them on my list?
I am waiting to hear.
Sincerely,

Do you know the titles of these 2 stories?
Dear Readers,
In a few days, I will review two more picture books: one is about a father and daughter who go to the laudromat, and they leave something behind, and the other one is about a dog and a cat that disagree about taking turns on the playground equipment.
Can you guess the titles of these stories? Maybe the authors?
I'M STILL IN THE PROCESS OF COMPLETING A CHILDREN'S PICTURE BOOK. In the meantime, I've published three poems in three different anthologies: BLESSED, COLD LEMONADE, and INTO HER EYES.
I repeat that I am also Editor of CELEBRATE LIFE, a book of poems written by the Seniors at the Mosholu Montefiore Senior Center. The author is Jorge Rivera, and it is published by Xlibris.
These seniors wrote about their life experiences, and one of them is 92 years old.
I'm so very proud of them.
So, keep on writing. You will never know when inspiration will hit you.
Read picture books to your kids every night.
God bless.
Sincerely,
Ravenous Reader (a.k.a. Frankie)

MATURE AUTHORS
Dear Readers,
I had to research some of these authors. Did you know Anna Sewall wrote BLACK BEAUTY at 57? Karen Blixen, at 52, wrote OUT OF AFRICA. And, of course, we are familiar with Laura Ingalls Wilder, who wrote THE LITTLE HOUSE ON THE PRAIRIE series, in her 60's. That was one of my favorite television series.
So, what does this information tell us? It tells me that our dreams of becoming authors is reachable. We have to be persistent. All of us have great ideas. They just take time to develop.
God bless. Keep reading picture books to your children. Let them see you read.When they're old enough, bring them to the library and let them select the books they want to read.

Reader Question
Dear Readers,
Have you guessed which authors have been published after the age of 50?
I'll give you one more week, and then, I guess, I will have to tell you.
You'll be surprised. That is why you have to be persistent in your writing.
God bless.

MANIAC MAGEE and AND NOW MIGUEL
Dear Readers,
MANIAC MAGEE was written by Jerry Spinelli, and it is a fictional novel. There are 46 chapters, and the book is suited for grades 5, 6, 7.
This is not a picture book. I shall tell you the beginning: Magee's life was normal until his parents were killed. That's all I can say. Your child would find it quite interesting, and there are a host of themes.
....AND NOW MIGUEL was written by Joseph Quincy Krumgold. It too is a novel, one written in the first person, about Miguel's thoughts and experiences about sheepherding and his family.
This is based on a true story.
Every now and then, I will include a children's novel.
Thank you. God bless.
