Last Day for FREE Download: The Christmas Dutch Pot Baby

Today is the last day for the FREE download my new children’s E-book, The Christmas Dutch Pot Baby, on the Amazon Kindle: http://goo.gl/Gusje

I love working with Christina. From the time she was in kindergarten, Christina and I have been creating Christmas cards, and The Christmas Dutch Pot Baby is the third book that we've worked on together. She's a gifted artist and I am lucky that she has collaborated with me on so many projects.

Set in the island of Jamaica, The Christmas Dutch Pot Baby is the story about Joe and Myriam Lumley, who find a baby in a Dutch pot on their doorstep. Without hesitating, the Lumleys take the child, whom they name Eleanor, into their home. But little do they know, Attaberra, Queen of the Zemis, who has watched over the island since it rose out of the sea, has been watching their every move. The Queen has also made a prediction about the child. Will her prediction come true?

The themes of family, hope, and redemption run through the book. It's what the Christmas story is all about."

Book Giveaway: Marcus and the Amazons

Sheron Hamilton-Pearson and JamLink have given me a great idea to run another book giveaway. But this time, I want to include the kids, so I need at least three (3) writing prompts based on some of the themes in Marcus and the Amazons.

If you haven't read Marcus and the Amazons, here are some reviews (consider them to be like e-Cliff's Notes) that may give you some hints for the writing prompts:

http://amzn.to/m9DlFA

Rethabile Masilo of Poefrika has also written an extended review that may also help you to come up with a writing prompt: http://poefrika.blogspot.com/2011/07/marcus-and-amazons-by-geoffrey-philp.html

Finally, here is a list of the subjects covered in Marcus and the Amazons

Ants: etymology; food cultivation, cooperation and competition, relationships with other organisms, and myrmecophily

Black History Month

Civil Rights Movements

Caribbean American

Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.

Non-Violence

Marcus Garvey

Friendship

Animals / Insects, Spiders, etc.

FAMILY & RELATIONSHIPS

I'll be giving away  three (3) FREE Smashwords coupons (say that fast 3 times) for the three (3) winning prompts and you can enter as many prompts as you wish in the Comments section.

I know this should be a breeze, especially for the educators who are on summer vacation.

The Book Giveaway will run from July 1, 2011--July 9, 2011. I will be choosing the winners and the announcement will be posted on July 10, 2011.

The Kids Book Giveaway will run July 11, 2011—July 18, 2011.
