Life Savors

Preorders are being taken for this collection of inspirational stories. This book holds two of Donna's treasures.

Matters are complicated when her granddaughter has to be taken to All Children's Hospital.

The second story, She's Only 14! is about a young girl of 14 who wants to go to Haiti as a missionary. But can her mother and father let her go?

    "I read what I could of Pumping Your Muse on the website! Can't wait to get a copy; it's full of fresh ideas and inspiration. I've always not been observant - of people, yes - of my surroundings, no. Your book teaches that! I can't wait to see what else is hiding within its cover." ~Vickie~


    "You may be interested to know that I teach two courses, one for 7th and one for 8th graders. The 7th grade class is called, "Writers Workshop." Though our primary focus has been on grammar, my aim is to change the balance to emphasize writing. For the 8th graders constructing research papers, a skill which is of course important. But through your book and our recent conference, I've learned how much research is emphasized for the writer of fiction. This is my second year teaching these classes (though I've been in the field now for 10 years), and the greatest challenge is to keep students motivated to write. Quite frankly, they seem more interested in writing fiction than in expository forms. And now that I realize how important the research component is to the successful writer of fiction, I feel like I can offer my students the opportunity to explore both expository and narrative forms." ~Warren Akin~
