Please check out Amazon for the launch of my new children’s book, “Miss Lity and the Mouse from the Woods.” It is a book I hope will be shared by the little ones as well as enjoyed by adults.

This story was inspired by a surprisingly bold field mouse that appeared in my back yard in the summer of 2016.

It is a story of an old woman, Miss Lity, that lives alone on a farm. Animals from the nearby woods visit her every day and keep her company. Although Miss Lity loves all the critters that visit her, she has her favorites - the squirrels. It is their cute appearance she finds most pleasing. One day, she spots a mouse eating her nuts among the squirrels. The story then reveals she has a deep dislike of mice, and the mouse is faced with a hostile greeting. This encounter brings about an unexpected change to both of their lives…
