About

I am a native of Freeport, Grand Bahama, Bahamas, where I presently reside. My first children's book - Rusty the Rat - has been published in two formats: a coloured book and a black and white colouring book. Younger children will enjoy having the book read to them while older children will enjoy reading the story for themselves.

Writing across genres, I have also penned a number of Bible -based books, including a 90 day devotional, as well as a soon to be released book of poetry and a Music Theory workbook for early learners.

Description

<p><span><span>Harold Godwineson, the Last Anglo-Saxon King, owed everything to his father. Who was this Godwine, first Earl of Wessex and known as the Kingmaker? Was he an unscrupulous schemer, using King and Witan to gain power? Or was he the greatest of all Saxon Earls, protector of the English against the hated Normans? The answer depends on who you ask. He was befriended by the Danes, raised up by Canute the Great, given an Earldom and a wife from the highest Danish ranks. He sired nine children, among them four Earls, a Queen and a future King. Along with his power came a struggle to keep his enemies at bay, and Godwine's best efforts were brought down by the misdeeds of his eldest son Swegn. Although he became father-in-law to a reluctant Edward the Confessor, his fortunes dwindled as the Normans gained prominence at court. Driven into exile, Godwine regathered his forces and came back even stronger, only to discover that his second son Harold was destined to surpass him in renown and glory.</span></span></p>

Story Behind The Book

Rusty learns two improtant lessons: 1) Rusty is faced with making a simple decision that would keep him and his mom warm for the whole night or cause him to have to get up and go out into the cold in the middle of the night. 2) Rusty learns that you can do anything you want to, if you try hard enough.
