Excited and very honored to present The Little Boy Who Wouldn't Eat Cheesecake for its very first story time and book signing at FoxTale Book Shoppe this Saturday. I've heard so many wonderful things about the people who run FoxTale and had the privilage of meeting with them for Bonnie Clark's children's book launch, Catching Thoughts, which is a timely book on how to handle bad thoughts. Speaking of bad thoughts, 2020 has had its share, but just like in Bonnie's book, there are many other things to focus on and appreciate. For me, finally seeing this book published after so many years is a big, bright, colorful thought to hold onto and be thankful for, and having my first story time and book signing is another. If you can, support your local bookstores and authors. They appreciate it more than words can express!  You're Invited! Story Time & Book Signing at FoxTale Book Shoppe Saturday, September 12, 2020, 11:00 a.m. at 105 E Main St, Woodstock, GA 30188 If you have any family and or friends in the Woodstock, Georgia area, please share this post.  By the way, for those with concerns about safety, FoxTale did an excellent job of providing a safe environment at Bonnie's book launch, and I am sure safety will be a top priority at this event as well. Stay well and focus on the good things! With love,

Pleased to announce that a story, close to eighty years in the making, is finally being released and shared with the world.
While World War II is changing the world in major ways, a young boy named Roger finds himself in a different kind of fight—a battle within himself—as he tries to muster up the courage to sample a bite of cheesecake. Yes, that’s right, cheesecake. You see, Roger can't understand how cheese, regularly eaten in his favorite grilled sandwiches, could possibly taste good in cake. He is quite disturbed that others not only find this oddity acceptable but also say it’s delicious. The Little Boy Who Wouldn’t Eat Cheesecake inspires picky eaters and young readers, ages 4-9, to try new things and encourages conversation with older family members and friends about foods they didn't like in childhood (or, at least, thought they didn’t like) and what happened when they actually tried the foods for themselves. 
A timely book about a preconceived notion being challenged and overcome
before it’s too late. 
Reviews
"Reading this story led us to a special conversation with our Poppa about the art of storytelling and enjoying his stories over and over again just as the characters in The Little Boy Who Wouldn't Eat Cheesecake. The way the author infused the lesson of trying new things before it's too late is beautifully written. You're sure to enjoy this delightful book!" --Kid Explorer www.kidexplorer.com "The Little Boy Who Wouldn't Eat Cheesecake is a delightful and colorful story set in the 1940's of a boy who detests the idea of eating cheesecake. He soon discovers it’s okay to try new things. As you read this whimsical tale you will immediately make connections with the characters. Perfect as a read aloud for young children during bedtime or can be treasured as a favorite reader for older children." --Dr. Valerie Harrison, author of The Great Fish www.educationallyyoursllc.com
Check out what Arlene from Paperback Mom shared on her blog.
Ebook available now. Paperback and hardcover coming this July.
Would like to ask prayers for tomorrow's leap of faith launch. Felt God's leading, right before 2020, that it was time to get my children's book ready to release. Keep in mind, it's been close to 14 years since I started writing it. And never, and I mean NEVER, would I have thought (leaning on my own understand) that it would be a good idea to launch during a global pandemic, hurting economy, painful injustices and nation wide rioting. BUT, it seems like I'm constantly learning that God's timing is not my own. Knowing this book was about so much more than cheesecake, that it was about a preconceived notion being challenged and overcome before it's too late, I feel God saying the timing is now, and I'm trusting that voice. Praying God uses this story beyond what I could imagine or think. Tomorrow we are officially launching the ebook version of The Little Boy Who Wouldn't Eat Cheesecake. Please consider covering this book in prayer, and If you would like be on that mailing list, please subscribe. Thank you so much.
Wanted to share something amazing that happened this week. On Wednesday (June 10th and this part is important) The Little Boy Who Wouldn’t Eat Cheesecake was uploaded to KDP, since they advise that it can take anywhere up to 72 hours to upload. Later that night, we noticed that it was already showing up on Amazon, but the ebook publication date shown was JUNE 9th which was a day earlier than when the files where submitted. I thought that was odd and stared at that date, then realized the significance -- June 9, 1989 is day my mother died, 31 years ago.
Now, what you probably don’t know is that I had written my first children’s book manuscript, right after she died, to help young children deal with the loss of a parent, since my brother was only six years old at the time. The story of that manuscript, in and of itself, is to me, almost tragic but with a painful lesson learned (and I know I shouldn’t leave it there, but will have to share that tale another time). Anyway, all that to say, I feel like that specific date showing up was a sweet reminder from God, that he knows our dreams and heartaches, and that He cares more than we ever imagined. I love the above picture. God’s word (Hebrews 12) says we are surrounded by a great cloud of witnesses, and I know many of us have loved ones in that cloud, cheering us on.
Official Pub date for hardcover will be July 2nd in honor of my grandfather, M.G. Walker, Jr., who fought during World War II, the era in which the story takes place. The ebook launch will be Monday, June 15th, but you can order your ebook today. And if you enjoy reviewing children's books, your online review would be greatly appreciated. Thanks for reading and sharing in this journey.
Launching a children's picture book titled, The Little Boy Who Wouldn't Eat Cheesecake, this summer, and my wonderful illustrator, Katherine Carver, surprised me with lots of redheads throughout the book! Thought I would start sharing the news about this book release since May 26th is World Redhead Day. While the book is not about redheads or their unique issues, it's fun to see that many redheads featured in a children's picture book. Rarely do I see so many redheads in one place. As I look through Katherine's beautiful artwork, I have conservatively counted up to fourteen redheads, but there are some strawberry tints in there as well, so maybe you will find more. It's kind of like a cross between Where's Waldo and the Real Redheads of Chattanooga. Laughing because this reminds me of the time my friend, Laura, and I had this huge debate. We had just finished watching Disney's classic Cinderella, and I argued that Cinderella's hair looked reddish during certain scenes and that maybe she was a strawberry blonde. Laura totally disagreed, and if I were to call her right now, we would comically go back and forth on the hair color issue. Official Pub date will be July 2nd in honor of my grandfather, M.G. Walker, Jr., who fought during World War II, the era in which the story takes place. The ebook will be available Monday, June 15th, and if you enjoy reviewing children's books, leave me a comment below or send me an email. Also, feel free to vote on Cinderella's hair color. With love,
