Welcome To Meme's Christmas Stories
I am the Author of the newly released "Meme's Christmas Stories". I originally wrote these seven stories for my seven grandchildren ages two through eleven. These were gifts for them that I spent many hours on in the evenings and into the early morning hours hoping to have them ready for Christmas. I made it, but through the haze I managed to mis-spell one of my granchildren's names! Well, I was forgiven, thank goodness.
I actually had no idea that I would spend literally 70 plus hours on a computer getting these simple little gifts together. They turned into a rather large project that I was determined to finish. As I stumbled into work each day with copies in hand of what I had written the previous evening, I would accost my co-workers and have all of them read what I had, and give me any changes they thought should be made. You know, Spell Check is just not perfect!
Then after returning home, I would take the pages to my neighbor and best friend for her input. Bless them all, they continued to put up with me for weeks as I continued to be consumed by the desire to give my grandchildren something I thought would be very special to them. And after they were completed and I had printed the pages, cut and pasted them, (we're talking Real paste and scissors here!), put all the little sticky Christmas decals and Cat decals in them that I could get my hands on, as well as a ton of colored glitter glue, I had them in their very own Mini Spiral Notebooks. With great care I wrapped each one,(I am the world's worst wrapper!),and finally sighed with Great relief and Pride.
After the gifts were opened, my daughters, Bless them, decided that the gifts were too special for the kids to be playing with,and put them away for future keepsakes! What is a grandmother to do?...
I decided that all the wonderful praise from friends and co-workers should be put to the test. I decided to try to have the books published as one series of Short Stories. And to my amazement, there were several interested publishers out there!
And Now...
"Meme's Christmas Stories" is in print!
