My daughters and I (ages 4 and 8 at the time), created the characters Fred and Fiona (friendly, fuzzy blue monsters), and made up stories about them a few years ago while I was falling asleep while reading bedtime stories.  It was a way to keep me awake.  Seriously. 

We taped a story on my phone each night.  Eventually, we decided it would be a cool project for us to publish one of the stories, and so now a few YEARS later, after finding an awesome illustrator, it has come to fruition.

Fred and Fiona: Fuzzy Blue Monsters with Finicky Fur is a silly story, with throwback humor.  It is currently available on Amazon, Barnes and Noble etc. on line (that is you won't see it in bookstores) but if we can get sales high enough, that would be the next goal.

We are very excited about the project and more so because we are donating a portion of any profits we should be so fortunate to make to the amazing Jennifer Bush-Lawson Foundation, due to our fondness for the Lawson family and the great work their foundation does. This nonprofit serves economically vulnerable mothers and infants by giving them a fair start at life through access to quality pre and postnatal healthcare and support.

Thanks for your support!
