Hello and Merry Christmas fellow Children’s Writers and Friends,
I am very proud to say that our Creative Kids Tales Story Collection has been selling like the proverbial hot cake and a second print run will soon be underway. 
These books are becoming very difficult to find, but that is something Gretchen Bernet-Ward will not have to concern herself with, as the winner of last month’s Journeygirl On The Road To Publication’s giveaway!
Gretchen will be receiving her copy in the mail next week, just in time for a relaxing Christmas read or some extra special gift giving. Congratulations Gretchen!
Farewell fellow travellers,
Savour the quest,
Journeygirl
P.S. For anyone who has been contemplating purchasing a copy of this eclectic collection of stories and poems destined to delight children from 3-12, I still have limited stock available. Contact me via Facebook at Artelle Lenthall to purchase a copy, but be quick or they’ll be gone!

Happy New Year, Artelle! I love your story “Except for the Mouse” and cute illustration by Michele Furlong-Olsen. I am taking my time and enjoying the other stories 🙂

Thanks Gretchen, it was fun to write! I love Christmas, so often write related stories. Michele’s illustrations are a treat aren’t they? I’m taking my time through this book and Big Magic and a Judy Nunn one my mother in law gave me. Oh so many books so little time… what a wonderful problem to have 🙂

Hi Artelle, I just logged on and read the great news! I’m a winner! It’s exciting for me because I never win anything but I’m doubly happy because it’s Creative Kids Tales. Many thanks for the opportunity. Best wishes, Gretchen.

I’m so pleased for you Gretchen. I rarely win things either but I am lucky in life so I’d much rather that sort of luck; health, safety, happiness of myself and those I love 🙂
