Terri, a passionate children's book author, shares her inspiring journey from a lifelong love of writing to publishing her book, "Santa's Simon."

Her story began in childhood when she discovered her passion for storytelling through short stories and poetry.

Despite a fulfilling career in education, she always felt a pull towards writing children's literature.

The conversation delves into her early attempts to get published in the 1980s. She self-published Santa's Simon through a local press, sparking joy in the community but ultimately setting aside the project as her teaching career took precedence.

After years of people asking about the book, she finally decided to revisit her passion upon retirement, embracing the evolving landscape of self-publishing and technology.

Throughout the discussion, Terri emphasizes the importance of community and mentorship in the writing process. She recounts her experience with John Fox of Book Fox Press, who provided guidance on publishing and connected her with an illustrator who perfectly captured her vision for Santa's Simon.

Terri's insights into character development reveal a deep connection to her protagonist, Simon, an elf facing adversity and learning about leadership and forgiveness. The episode highlights the transformative power of storytelling, especially in children's literature, where messages of empathy and resilience resonate deeply with young readers.

As the conversation unfolds, Terri shares her plans for future projects, including her upcoming book, "A Hubbard in My Cupboard."

This new venture promises to explore themes of creativity and collaboration as a young boy and his dog tackle the mischief of a creature in their home. The dialogue serves as a reminder that an author's journey is filled with challenges and triumphs and that the connections made through writing make the experience truly rewarding.

Terri's passion for teaching and storytelling shines through, encouraging aspiring authors to embrace their voices and cultivate their ideas, no matter how daunting the path may seem.
