SALTWATER TAFFY and the Culture of Violence

The culture of violence in America is killing our children…literally.  As a children’s book author, I have always believed in the ideal ‘if you build it, they will come.’  The question I have is, why do children respond to the culture of violence in our socity more than they do to a theme of inspiration or adventure?

Culture of violenceWhile we have been a mildly successful award-winning adventure book for tweens by selling 5000 copies of Saltwater Taffy across the country, it appears in order to enjoy best-selling success, you either need Read more

This year’s Seven Arrows Literary Festival was a huge success.  After spending the morning with the 3rd, 4th and 5th graders, I remain confident about one thing in the world of book publishing; writing a Children’s Book is just the beginning step in a long adventurous journey.

When you write a children’s book, it not only connects you with some amazing kids, but it gives you the opportunity to inspire young minds.   Read more

Literary FestivalLITERARY FESTIVAL

Saltwater Taffy is honored to be part of the Seven Arrows Elementary Literary Festival happening this week in Pacific Palisades, California.  What is super cool about the visit is the author on stage right before me is none other than Alan Sitomer, California Teacher of the Year, who had this to say about Saltwater Taffy: “Pirate.  Adventure and Treasure!  Saltwater Taffy is a rockin’ good time!  Aarrgggghhhh!”  

Saltwater Taffy has been endorsed by 12 Teachers of the Year around the country and will soon be on the big screen in 2014.  Shooting for this award-winning children’s book will begin August, 2013.  If you are looking for books for kids, stop looking and pick up Saltwater Taffy today and watch how your child begins to discover the joy of reading.  Saltwater Taffy takes the young reader on an epic treasure hunting adventure and is a cliff hanging story to hook young minds.

We believe every new book written for children is a new opportunity to teach them about growing up.  Saltwater Taffy helps tweens discover how amazing they are and how easy it is to be distracted by what other people think of you.

Saltwater Taffy in Boca Rota, Florida

Saltwater Taffy, the award-winning children’s book, was recently at the Miami Book Fair International to pick up the Reader’s Favorite Gold Medal for Children’s Books.  Since we were there, we shot up the coast to Boca Rotan, Florida where the kids at Water’s Edge Elementary School went crazy for Saltwater Taffy!  Here are some shots from the amazing assembly for 3rd, 4th and 5th graders!

 

Saltwater Taffy has taken home two GOLD MEDALS for Children’s books.  We are so excited the children of the country are responding so favorably for this adventure novel.  We are currently on the Accelerated Reader List across the country and hoping to be added to the Sunshine Reading List in Florida.  This stop should help that desire.
