If Wishes Were Eagles

Inspired by the Scottish proverb and nursery rhyme, “If wishes were horses, beggars would ride,” If Wishes Were Eagles is a daydream brought to life with lyrical and vivid words. My intention is for it to be a picture book illustrated by the one and only Craig Anderson, artist and husband of mine.

If Wishes Were Eagles is filled with timeless messages and lessons of hope and possibility. The reader/listener enters a wondrous world full of beauty, marvel and mysteries, and learns that when you’re in trouble, you fly high, and when you’re lonely, you reach out, when you’re sad, you look for splendor in nature around you. Finally, the ones you call family are your haven of rest, and love is what holds us together until the end. This is a wise, wistful tale and you can’t help but smile when you hear it. Let me know what you think!

Epilogue 2.0: How is Bobby after Chasing the Merry-Go-Round?

One of the major themes of Chasing the Merry-Go-Round was the idea of home and Bobby's lifelong dream to own his own place. Unfortunately, for so many years, we all thought it was going to be out of reach for him. Until now. Sometimes things happen that you never saw coming and it creates opportunity and answers that you asked for so long ago you forgot you ever asked. When I first published this story, Bobby asked me to buy him his own house if and when the book "went platinum." Of course, I always agreed that yes, we'd get him his own house if that ever happened. Well...book sales are a difficult thing and alas this little story never "went platinum." But that's okay...I know the people who need the story and the lessons in it will find it, and Bobby found his home another way.
Never give up.
