“Weezie, the Elephant with Allergies” published September 2011. This ebook is a lightly illustrated story about an elephant with an unusual problem. Weezie is an orphan who wants to be adopted more than anything, but everytime he meets someone new his allergies act up and he ends up leaving them in a pile of snot! Geared for kids age 5-11, this story is one that kids will love for the humor and grossness, while adults will love the messages of acceptance and true friendship. Currently available for $1.99 in multiple ebook formats on Smashwords, for Kindle on Amazon and for Nook on B&N.com!
“In Memory of Dad” published August 2011. This short ebook is geared for kids age 8-14. Based on the real experiences I went through after losing my father at the age of 12, this story is a comforting, realistic and inspiring story about love, loss and moving on. The ebook is currently available for only $.99 in multiple ebook formats on Smashwords, for Kindle on Amazon and for Nook on B&N.com!

I like the concept of IN MEMORY OF DAD (I never knew mine). I do not have an e-reader, so if I happen to win anything, I’d like to donate it to my daughter-in-law. Thanks for participating in this adventure.
Karen, thanks for stopping by and commenting! If you win, you actually get a physical copy of my picture book “Ode to Icky”, so you don’t need an ereader
I knew the first time I read your works you would find a niche to make it big as a writer!
Thanks Justin! That is one of the best compliments I think I have ever received!
Love the Ode to Icky concept, some cats you just have to love no matter what!
So true. Icky is based on a cat we actually have as a pet. And I do love him…even if he does smell horribly sometimes!
These all look great, Maranda!
Thanks Rena! I can’t wait to see the book of mine that 4RV is publishing! Their other books look so good!
Looks great. Finally getting around to visiting the Trick or Treat Blog Adventure.
Tammie Gibbs
Thanks Tammie! I need to finish making my rounds as well
Hi, another AC friend dropping around all the trick or treat blog adventures. I love kids picture books and have a room full from having taught preschoolers most of my adult life. Yours looks fun.
Dixie Goode
Thanks for dropping by Dixie! I have visited some of the other trick or treaters but haven’t gotten around to all of them.
Hi Maranda, would love to win one of your books, they look so appealing to kids! Will have to get an e-reader so I can get the Weezie book, my son has allergies and is always coughing and sneezing, I am sure he would love it! Thanks and I hope I win:)
Hi Sherri! Weezie is currently only available as an ebook, but you don’t necessarily have to have an ereader. It is available on Smashwords in many forms, for online reading, PDF file and other easy-to-read forms. I actually don’t have an ereader myself yet, so I normally read ebooks on my laptop. You can download the Kindle app for free onto your PC, laptop or certain phones on Amazon, so that is also an option!
