Shifty Characters by Shirley Francis-Salley

Well, the easy part is over now and for me that was writing Shifty Characters.  It was easy because writing is God's gift to me. I know this because whatever gifting God endows you with you'll do with ease. Of course you'll have to nurture your gift and cultivate it you know, so it can bear fruit and bless someone! After all, isn't that why he gave it to you? When it comes to marketing and advertising, I know that's not my gift. I just wanna write, know what I mean?  And all the authors in the house said, "Amen!"

But any hoo, Hi ho, hi ho, it's off to marketing I go.  Right now, I'm having  posters printed and I'll be handing out giveaways such as buttons, magnets and bookmarks all announcing the coming of the Shifty Characters!  I wouldn't be doing any of this with out the gentle nudging and suggestions of my multi-talented illustrator, Aidana WillowRaven. She's holding my hand through this part of the process and Lord knows I need her!

Well, I gotta go  now, be back later!

If you don't know the purpose of something,
you will use it in ways that it was not made for.

These characters know that,
Arms are made for hugging and loving,
And not for pushing and shoving.


Until next time,

Hi, I'm Back!

This is my 2nd day of blogging . Of course, I forgot how to do it and had to get help. But, guess what? My help got called away and I figured it out by myself. I am woman hear me ROAR!! 

Thank you my Boo, and Sissie Sue for the great encouraging comments!

Any hoo, I'm still working out  the technical kinks that are hindering me from pulling my site up with ease, and that will come. I know it will!  I'm cool with that.  Why I'm so cool that if  I had a fishing pole and straw hat, I'd be sittin' on that dock over there dangling my bare feet in that cool, blue water!

See you Later!
