Yes, it's true, I'm working on a new children's book.  I was inspired by some fabulous kids while visiting another tutoring center this week.  It's about a bird raised by clowns.  Suddenly he finds out that his family makes people laugh for a living!  Crazy.

Here is an excerpt:

"It's time!" Gary thought.  "Soon there will be amazing explosions, or they'll be turning the car into a spaceship!"  Deloris opened the door of the tiny car and got in.  It was a tight squeeze, and Gary was kind of surprised she was able to fit.  Then Morris squished in beside her.  The the unthinkable!  Borris managed to push himself in between and on top of Morris and Deloris!  Gary had no idea they could bend like that.  Then Deloris started the engine and drove the car in a circle.  Boris has his leg sticking out of the car, and Morris was practically folded in half with his pants sticking out the window!  That was when the audience really started laughing.  The roar of giggles was deafening.  Gary was shocked.  "What are you laughing at?"  He asked aloud.  "What could possibly be so funny?  Do you know how difficult that is?"  The woman next to Gary was laughing too hard to answer.

Soon, there'll be more.


Stay tuned.
