Doodle: A Story, A Book, A Chance To Help

The one really great thing about writing a blog is I can do anything I want with it. Now for those of you who stop by on a regular basis, I tend to complain. A lot. Alright, I tend to bitch about almost everything.

But not today.

Today I'm going to try to use the Force to do a little good. And I hope some of you will join in and help too.

A little over a year ago I really started getting involved with my blogs and subsequently, involved with other bloggers. Some of them I'm now proud to call friends. Some I've met, some I just know online, but it has been a real fun ride getting to know them and to read them.

One of my friends, Jim Wood, has written a children's book. Jim's friend Michele has done the illustrations. It's the story of a little girl and a dog and a life journey. But more about that later. Ashley is the fourteen-year-old daughter of Michele Quinn's close family friend. Ashley has been critically ill and in and out of the hospital for the last four months. All personal proceeds from the online sales of the book, "Doodle" from now until May will be donated to Ashley's Army.

So here's what I'm thinking. Well, first of all, buy a book. Or better yet, buy more than one. Even if you don't have a child, buy one. I did. You can buy one or more, and give it to a child you may know. Or donate it to your public library, school library, pediatric department of your local hospital, or just use your imagination.

Jim is a good guy, that much I know. He works hard for his family and for his craft. This is his first published book and its profits are being used to help someone else. It's not a lot of money, only $7 and with its profits going toward helping a family with a sick little girl, it's money well spent.

Doodle is a rhyming book told from the view of a little girl as she and her dog explore the world around them and wonder how things were made. Purchase a copy at: https://www.createspace.com/3555995

From me, Jim, Michele and Ashley... Thanks.
