Background
Information
When I was a child growing up in Edinburgh, Scotland, I read this enchanting, magical, book called "The Enchanted Wood" by Enid Blyton. Infact I read her book just a few years past and still found it amazingly interesting.
It was Enid Blyton that got me to my great imagination to this day. I love reading children's books..children are awesome. I have written quite a few over the years.
I will be published with one of my books sometime this year by Publishamerica.. The book is a picture book with Illustrations done by Annie Zhang. My book is called "A Frog Named Waldor."
