Brother Star, Sister Moon .

It is a Christmas story I wrote and my daughter, Christie Marie Underwood, illustrated. This simple, uncomplicated Christmas poem was written to be appreciated by young children. The words are easily understood if an adult reads them to children, and the pictures are designed to appeal to little ones. Working on this project together has brought us great joy.
On the afternoon of August 1, 2017, Christie and I went to the Ransom Canyon Children's Library and made arrangements with Angie Fikes, the librarian, to present our book and also
Seth the Shepherd Boy
at the library's annual Christmas party, scheduled for Saturday December 16, 2017.
Santa Claus will be at the party, we'll have Christmas Star and Moon cookies, and I'll have a discussion with young writers (teenagers included) about the process of writing. We'll talk about how to get started, how to organize work, how to stay focused until the project is finished, and anything else about writing of interest to those attending.
Christie and I are excited about this program. Angie is working on preparing an electronic presentation of the books. As soon as possible, Seth, the Shepherd Boy, will be offered as a free Kindle book also,
