The launch of Hearts of Three Kings: The Story of Glops, Book 8 was a great success. For a week or longer, both the paperback and the eBook were in the Top 100 at Amazon in two separate categories: 1. Children's Christian People and Places Fiction, and  2. Children's Christian Historical Fiction. Hooray!!! Thank you for your support! They may have continued to rate highly, but I went on a fun trip and could not check the rankings. Oh, well. The trip was fun and I was happy to spend some time with daughter, Elayne, and her husband, Don. 

I was asked if I would like to present a program for "Fellowship Through Reading" at First Baptist Church, Amarillo. Of course! Are you kidding? Yes, of course! This is such an honor! On Monday morning, I will have about thirty minutes to talk about the books I have written and continue to write. I anxiously look forward to this wonderful privilege. 

Words can not express how grateful we are for your expressions of love as we continue to mourn the loss of our grandson, Dustin McKinney. He was twenty-one and died on March 22. We received phone calls, messages, texts, notes, cards, flowers, plants, hugs, and saw your attendance at his Celebration of Life. You prayed with us and for us. Everywhere we turned, you were there offering your love. We are truly blessed by you.

​Thank you!​

It is also an exceptional supplement for guitar teachers to use in individual and class instruction. It provides the basics needed to give the guitarist instant success. The songs included are sequential in chord difficulty. Even when knowing only a few guitar chords, the guitarist will be successful with these folk songs, children’s songs, and favorites.

Included inside:
- information about guitars
- crash course in reading music
- scales, keys, chords, and Circle of Fifths
- finger-position pictures in color
- tablatures for twenty-eight guitar chords
- 138 folk songs, children’s songs, and favorites, in:
-     seven 1-chord songs,
-     fifty-two 2-chord songs,  
-     seventy-nine 3-chord songs, 
- with alphabetical indexes of songs, their keys and chords

​Robert Burns, 1786

This is embarrassing and frustrating:

I had Guitars & Folk Songs: An Anthology ready to upload the book into Amazon and the eBook into Kindle. When I began the process, my Microsoft xlsx files for the Table of Contents and Indexes would not convert. So I took all the information out of xlsx and put them directly into my docx files. Guess what. The spacing for text and photos were all wrong. What a mess!

All that really means is that I will not have the book or ebook available for awhile yet. I'll keep working on them, and I'll let you know when I successfully have them ready for you.

     Launch Day for Hearts of Three Kings is April 12. Mark your calendars! Even thouth the Kindle eBook will not be released before April 12, you may order it NOW. On Launch Day, the eBook will be delivered to your device automatically. Isn't technology great!
     The paperback will be ready for purchase that same day. I'm extremely excited, . . .

     The Revised and Improved Second Edition of Guitars & Folk Songs: An Anthology is finished. Inside the Kindle eBook, I am presently adding links from the Table of Contents to marked text and pages. Doing this will make navigation within the book much easier for my readers /guitar enthusiasts. 
        I will have both the new eBook and new paperback ready for you at Amazon on Tuesday. 
​                                                May God bless you and yours,

The newest book in The Story of Glops series is written and edited. Photos are formatted and added. The book itself is formatted. Now, I move on to the next stages of publishing the book. Have a look at the covers.
