Yes, it's time to smile!...
Those who have been following the blog posts about my writing efforts know that my illustrated children's book has taken time and patience to create and produce.
After successfully reaching a fund-raising goal, we are now set to release our book Maddie: Teaching Tolerance with a Smile!!!
This book is about the life of Madison Woytovich and the organization CAP (Children's Alopecia Project) that her father Jeff Woytovich founded a number of years ago.
Three other people also share in the creation of this book:
Maddie's mother, Betsy Woytovich, served as an excellent editor. Her support was invaluable.
Patrick O'Brien (who is my cousin) was the initial artist who established the visual reality that became Maddie: Teaching Tolerance with a Smile. Without his generous contributions, ongoing advice and support, this book might not have been born.
Melissa Lascala (who served as my main illustrator) offered a sincere creative presence that saw this project through to completion.
-->>>50% of all proceeds from this book will be donated to CAP.

Thank you to Stacey Stauffer (Fox 29 Philadelphia). She interviewed Maddie Woytovich, her parents (Jeff and Betsy Woytovich) and me recently about the latest chapter in this inspiring story. The feature will be aired during the 10 p.m. broadcast on July 30 (which is the date of today's post).

Amazon.com is the number 1 online publishing platform in the world. That's why I used it to publish my first ebook:
I am humbled by the reception it has received to-date and I thank everyone who has been responding to this digital creation.
This mini-tome is a collection of stories and poems for readers who don't take themselves too seriously. I hope that you enjoy it and am always interested in your feedback.
