Books for Children
http://www.bookologymagazine.com/issue/august-2016/ I found this site interesting.
I am hoping to rejoin SCBWI and devote more time to my favorite genre, writing children's books. In-between I will continue to promote my latest release- Heroes Beneath the Waves..., that I wrote for all ages, for I want students to"Never Forget" how submarine veterans helped save our world during World War II.

Was important
To their family
The man of the house
And sometimes,
The oldest son
Carried that title.
His wife and children.
His wife has equal rights
As a man has, and that
They both follow
Their own belief,
He must never be a man
About town
Nor his wife.
They now, can be pronounce
Man and wife.
