D.dot's Cookie Conundrum

D.dot's Cookie Conundrum
I am a firm believer bed-time stories teach us all we need to know in life. For me, I had the luxury to fall asleep to my Dad's stories. He presented versions of the Twilight Zone, as well as my all time favorite (and most requested) "The Biggest Bear" by Lynd Ward. At the time, I had no idea these stories weren't solely my Dad's. He never had a book in front of him, or the T.V. playing, when he told me his stories. He passed them along in his voice, his words. It was later in life I realized the stories derived from another teller. Isn't that the beauty of story telling, the methods it gets passed down.

Sometimes, we're lucky enough to have the person who told us those stories early on in life, inspire a new story. This month, I entered the realm of e-publishing with my book D.dot's Cookie Conundrum (available through any of Amazon's Kindle platforms). And I'm happy to announce the story is about my Dad and I. Or at least it comes from an early memory of him teaching my Brownie troupe how to bake his infamous oatmeal cookies. D.dot has become a very integral character in my life. She's the spunky kid that still lingers with me and loves to create whether through writing or baking. I truly hope you will share the story with your family and pass it along.
