Writing with Perrin P Piddy
I published the Perrin P Piddy books because I needed to do something creative but wasn't yet ready to finish an actual novel. Then Perrin bust into my garden and ate all the plants and Perrin P Piddy Eats his Veggies was born. It's not the best children's book of all times, but kids seem to like the pictures of a pig in the house.
Perrin wants to be near me when I'm using the computer. He's fine if he's just laying on the couch or sitting next to me, but it is quite hard to type when there is a pig in your lap. The poor guy doesn't understand the need for my arms to be anywhere other than around him. I get lots of complaining grunts and groans from Perrin when this happens. I'll continue trying to type until Perrin gets tired of me trying to type over/around him or until I finally remember Perrin is a pig and can go play outside until I'm finished writing.
My writing is completely derailed when Jafari gets involved. He has to be between me and the computer. That's when I put up my laptop and allow the babies to enjoy some mama-time.
My first novel for adults is not Literature with a capital L. It's a snarky slice of life story written from the point of view of a disgruntled barista. While it was fun to write, it is not my point of view (please don't confuse me with my characters). I didn't post the novel's information directly to Perrin's Facebook page because children do visit the page and I don't want to direct them to a book that's inappropriate for kids.
Coffee Czar is a good book for anyone who has ever worked retail. If you're interested you can Buy Coffee Czar here.
