Double Celebration for Rosie Boom

An email from Rosie Boom

Hello everyone!

I’m emailing to let people know that my latest book, Where the Crickets Sing, has just been published! For more information and to buy the book you can look on my website www.rosieboom.com

Where the Crickets Sing

 

The other cause for celebration is that I have finally published both Where Lions Roar at Night and Where Arrows Fly as ebooks on the internet! It’s been a huge process and a steep learning curve for me, but I feel an equally big thrill at having finally accomplished it. J

 

Now I’m asking a favour from my readers and friends! I need some people who are willing to go to Smashwords and write a review about the books . It doesn’t have to be long at all – just a few enthusiastic, glowing words -  but if I get a few (hopefully lots of!) reviews happening, immediately it will bump the books higher up on the huge list of ebooks available! It would be the best thing ever you could do to help me!! I’m hoping that the ebook will mean that families all over the world can enjoy my books – but first they have to know that it even exists. J

If you would like to do this, click on the link below. It will take you to Where Lions Roar at Night. You have to enrol in Smashwords before you can write a review, but all that takes is entering your email address and choosing a password. Eazy peazy. J

Also, for those of you who know folk overseas, it would be wonderful if you could let them know about the free download available. Where Lions Roar at Night is  free for the next two weeks. And if any of you belong to home-schooling loops etc, it would be amazing if you could send them the link and encourage them to download the book.

Thanks so much folks! I always feel tentative about asking busy people to do something like this, but I really need to or it’s just going to sit hidden amongst all the other ebooks.

Thank you so much!!!!

Love,

Rosie

Children’s Story Book About New Zealand Homeschooling Family

Children’s Story Book About New Zealand

Homeschooling Family

Truck story

BEN CURRAN/Marlborough Express (View link below)
BEN’S BIG JOURNEY: Blenheim man Trevor Harris, left, wrote a book about the incredible journey his grandson Nathan’s toy truck Ben made to find his owner after the family moved 200km away. Nathan, 7, is pictured with the book and Ben at Renwick Transport, which also features in the book.

A Tasman Home schooling Family have published a heartwarming story written by their children’s Grand Father :

Join our hero Breezemere Ben, the plucky toy truck who starts out on an “incredible journey” to rejoin his family when they move across the Top of the South Island to a new farm; all the way from Marlborough to Nelson’s Motueka Valley. Ben is based on a true story, he belongs to a boy called Nathan and the story is written by his Grandfather.

Ben has many adventures on his 200 kilometre trip, and along the way he discovers new inner strengths. He’s helped by his new trucking friends the Mighty Mack, Roaring Rob and Mailvan Malcolm who tell him “Try hard, do not give up…”, and when he’s feeling lonely and dejected “…never feel you are alone.”

This is a delightful story which you and your children will love to read – and be introduced to some of life’s important lessons: dealing with loss; determination to carry on; co-operation and helping others…


Reviews:

“Whether you live in the Marlborough/Nelson area or not you will still find  ’Breezemere Ben’  truly unique.  You will enjoy a very well written clever plot, the many facets of a wonderful story and a very lovely ending.  You will also learn about this area of New Zealand and the vehicles that drive on it’s roads.   It is one book that will be enjoyed by readers of all ages again and again. My family have all loved it read aloud or by themselves”. Sandy mum of four, Blenheim.

A very enjoyable, believable story.  Eileen McKenzie, Picton.

“This wonderfully well- crafted story tells of a special little toy truck and his arduous journey through rain and snow, through adversity and hard work to reach his family. Along the way he makes some great friends and remembers the values of his owners to buoy him even in the hardest of times.This story was originally written as surprise Christmas gift to accompany a rejuvenated and repainted truck by Nathan’s Grandad.They decided to publish it, thank goodness they did. It’s a story that is so well written you can’t put it down, and even may like me shed a tear”
Kaye R.Tasman.
