Mariposa Kisses (aka Dianne's Blog)

Please check out Amazon.com for my recent digital items for purchase. 1) GRACIE AND THE MAGICAL PENCIL BOX HAT (A chapter book targeting second through fourth grade readers about a girl who makes a magical hat that helps her to go on a variety of fun adventures. In the end, she learns that believing in herself is even more valuable than magic.) 2) MOMMY'S HIDING IN THE TREEHOUSE WITH A GLASS OF MERLOT (This is a compilation of 31 tips and parenting essays, previously posted on a local newspaper's parenting blog. You'll laugh, cry or both! Grab a glass of Merlot and enjoy the ride! We're all just doing the best we can.) 3) "Kiss or Candy" (Enjoy this short love story. Chantelle runs into financial trouble with her business. She also has some relational problems with her ex. When she meets Tom, she's not looking for anything serious, but she's surprised that she wants more than a kiss.) COMING SOON: My first NA novel was picked up by a Midwestern publisher. I'm edited up to the 17th chapter, around p. 400. I'm @ 88,000 words now and have a few more chapters to go. This one is set up for a sequel. Two possible titles are: THE REALM BEYOND or SOUL READER.
