To enter to win leave a comment with an email address. Welcome, Jeanette.  Thanks for stopping by to talk about your writing and your new book. How did you get started writing for publication? When my son was a baby, I wrote several poems for La Leche League, which they published in their international calendars.  I was thrilled to see my work in print, delighted that people all over the globe were reading it. LLL offered me a job editing the newsletter for our local region, but I turned them down, since I had two small children at the time, and wanted to devote all my time to them.

Big Birthday Celebration TBCN’s Having a Huge Birthday Bash during August! They’re giving away ten books a day. Hi Nora, welcome. We can’t wait to hear about TBCN. What inspired you to start TBCN?
