Thanks, Mayra. I thought the conference went very well, though I didn't participate as much as I had planned. Had a lot of outlines and synposes to read. :)

Hello my friend.
Opal, Herby, and Squeaky (Toddler Book)
This book is published.
ISBN 9781438918082
I hope you are having an exciting weekend with the Lord. May He bring many blessings to share with you.
I apologize for being away for a short time. I have been working on details for this new book which is now available for the kids.
Please view my website.
http://mybingobooks.com

Hopefully, all the kids will have one in their stocking for Christmas this year. It was published with the intent to bring them closer, and to know Jesus in their everyday life.
Please pray for the success of this book. It will bring happiness to all, and mostly, it will help to feed many hungry children, not only physically, but spiritually as well.
Have a wonderful weekend my friend.
Jay

Hey Mayra:

Donna Higgins Colson had responded on my behalf about reviewing your current children's book. Wondered if you have mailed it yet. Looking forward to reading/reviewing it.

Hi,
I have entered a Kid's Fantasy story to the Genre Creatives Challenge Group called "Opal, Herby and Squeaky." It is a short version, modified, of my next submission for publishing. This will be my third book out for my "All God's Critters" series. A few of the Illustrations are posted on my Image page. Please take a peek and feel free to comment.
Thank You
Jay M.
BTW: Sal & Sally, my second book, will be listed with Gather Community Press as the first book self published by Gather, through Author House. It is being printed now.

Mayra - I won the book and read it over the Christmas holidays - it was wonderful - I totally enjoyed it and loved the illustrations as well. I left it at my winter home but I will always treasure that copy of your book. Thank you so much. Salud.
