Pac Man Crop Circles - Weird sighting while flying Southwest Airlines back from Oakland. I'm still trying to find Inky.....No Luck

LuLu versus Lulu

So Advertising.com had a client cocktail party at Lulu in San Francisco on Wednesday night I attended http://www.restaurantlulu.com/LuLu_about.html. The Brick Oven was burning and I met some interesting and knowledgeable people from the industry. I was telling people at the party that I had published a book at lulu.com and told them the story of lulu as I had read about it.

Bob Young the founder of Red Hat was trying to publish a book and his manuscript was rejected. Trust me I know the feeling and that's why I am glad I found Lulu.com by reading Business 2.0. Here's the Article that lead me to Lulu http://www.scribd.com/doc/16572/Freedom-Of-The-Press-Lulu-com

I recently completed my first children's book. Where Was I? New York! and it's for sale on Lulu.com http://www.lulu.com/content/541219

It's the first in a series of books that I am writing dedicated to my kids and to the millions of parents that travel for their career. I have been to so many of the greatest cities across the country and there are hardly any good kids picture books focusing on travel explaining where mom or dad went. It's no problem finding a shot glass or an ash tray with the famed city, but not appropriate for kids.

Where Was I? New York! features Devon, a smart girl heroine narrator, and her adventurous brother, DJ, – as they journey from city to city. Kids inspiring kids – positive role models! The stories are fast-paced, kid-centric, and fun.

The National Geographic Society has declared children’s geographic apathy “a cultural crisis.” Less than half of all children under age eighteen can identify the states of New York or Ohio on a map! According to the National Geographic Society’s 2006 Geographic Literacy Study, American kids rank next to last in terms of geographic literacy compared with their counterparts in nine other countries. kids have to U.S. Geography The National Geographic Society has declared children’s geographic apathy “a cultural crisis.” Less than half of all children under age eighteen can identify the states of New York or Ohio on a map!

Hopefully this series of books will help. You can also check out my website at www.wherekids.com - and pick up some fun Where Was I? Merchandise.

Where Was I? Washington D.C. is the next in the series and is almost fully illustrated and on it's way.
