Book Report

Some time back I posted about my first book, "The Working Mom's Parents' Guide to Homeschooling".  I was going to begin serializing it, as I am about halfway finished with it.  Then came the opportunity of a lifetime for a new author:  an agent has requested a book proposal!  Wow!  So, naturally, I set aside all marketing activities including the free download of Chapter 1, and completion of the manuscript to write my first book proposal.  It is certainly a learning experience.  It is nearly as long as the book itself, but the closer I get to finishing it, the more I believe in my book, and the more excited I get about finishing it.

So, apologies to all of you who were looking forward to the next installment of The Working Mom's Parents' Guide to Homeschooling, but for now, I have to finish the book proposal and get it off to the agent.  Never fear, whether my baby gets picked up by a traditional publisher, or I go the self-publishing route, this book is going to happen, I believe in it now more than ever.  Besides, I have several other titles lined up for future books, and they are pestering me to get on with it!

Thanks to all of you who participated in the free download.  Keep checking back for updates on the publishing process, and other updates about life Around the Homestead.

If You Give A Homeschooled Boy A Tire

If you give a homeschooled boy a tire, chances are he will try to build a car with it.

And if he tries to build a car, he will probably want 4 tires.

Once he has the tires in place, he'll think about installing a brake.

After the brake is installed, of course he'll want a steering wheel.

Then he'll want to spend the rest of the day doing his schoolwork in his car.
