Chapter 1: A Shared Passion for Storytelling

In a delightful twist, I find myself echoing the words of Stephen King: “I wrote a book.” Just like him, I can proudly say, “My books have received accolades.” My freshly released children’s picture book, HUEY, NO!, is now part of the literary landscape.

The day began like any other—I checked the stove for any lingering heat and ensured that the front door was securely locked. These rituals are telltale signs of my maturity. I then set off for work, leaving my condo devoid of any pets. Little did I know, that emptiness would soon be filled.

My workday passed quickly, and upon arriving at the animal shelter, I met Huey—a twelve-week-old tuxedo kitten in need of a home. The instant he melted into my arms, I knew we had a connection. However, that innocent day was swiftly overshadowed by Huey’s antics once he joined my family.

Chapter 2: The Mischief Unfolds

Huey quickly transformed our tranquil home into a playground. Tissue boxes were emptied, toilet paper rolls unraveled, and no cupboard or appliance was left unchecked for potential feline hijinks.

Whenever my husband crouched down to feed our furry friend or tie his shoelaces, Huey would seize the moment to climb onto his back.

These amusing escapades inspired me to pen down our experiences in a lively children’s book titled HUEY, NO!. Targeted at kids aged one to five, the book has also captured the hearts of cat enthusiasts and humor aficionados alike.

As Huey dangles from the fridge, splashes in the bathtub, and hides in freshly laundered clothes, the story features a mother-daughter duo inspired by my eldest daughter and granddaughter.

This interactive tale invites readers of all ages to chant “HUEY, NO!” along with the mother figure. Through playtime with the curious kitten, young Olive discovers that sharing joy with loved ones enhances the fun.

Section 2.1: Celebrating Family and Creativity

With the aim of creating a legacy for my grandchildren, I enlisted my artistic mother to illustrate the book, thus keeping our project within the family. The response has been overwhelmingly positive, and it is now available on Amazon.

My background in early childhood education and my experiences as a clown have been invaluable in crafting this charming tale. I’ve fulfilled a lifelong dream, and this won't be my only venture into children's literature.

I invite you to check out my Amazon page and consider adding HUEY, NO! to your collection or gifting it to someone special. A review from you would mean the world to me.

Did you know that self-promotion is essential in today's book launch? Thank you for celebrating this achievement with me. My aspirations are high, and I look forward to seeing HUEY, NO! earn accolades.

Chapter 3: Dreams and Aspirations

Is it unrealistic to dream big? Not at all. Believing is the first step toward achieving. Every success story, including Stephen King’s, had a beginning, and I am now stepping into his shoes.
