I recently created a Facebook page. I am a complete newbie on FB, and I have been getting lots of help from my twin teenage grandsons. One of them told me, "Grammie, just go to Youtube. There's a video on how to do everything! So true.

Anyway, please join me there.

I recently published a paperback edition of my new novel, The Cowboy's Treasure. It is available in the AuthorsDen Bookstore. Or, if you prefer to read it on your iPad, iPod, or iPhone, you can find it on Lulu. The links to both are on my website.

I also have a middle school edition of Simple Steps to Sentence available so that teachers can use my book with more than one grade level. If you already have the High School Edition of Simple Steps to Sentence you can purchase a packet of all new exercises, tests, and writing connection pages.

Note: the notes and overhead transparency pages are the same in both books, but the exercises, tests, and writing connection pages are different.

I recently posted a short story that I wrote along with questions for your students to answer on TeachersPayTeachers. The story is called "The Landlord's Trunk." It is set in the 1940's.

Don't forget to check TeachersPayTeachers often and search for my name. I am posting new materials frequently.

Have a good spring.

All the best,

Charlene Tess
