I decided to write SUBSTITUTE TEACHING ESSENTIALS: A Veteran’s Guide to Becoming a Great Substitute Teacher in order to both encourage you to pursue substitute teaching as a career choice, either in and of itself or as the first step toward teaching full-time. There are processes; professional and personal, for being hired; for breaking in, and then for becoming a seasoned and self-confident substitute. This book will give you information about various aspects and realities of substitute teaching that will hopefully help reduce some of the uncertainties you may have about this career choice.
Mainly, though, I hope to encourage you, within these pages, to apply for and to do substitute teaching. I can not think of any other career besides teaching, substitute and/or full-time, for which the best, the brightest, the most committed, and the most dedicated can make a deep and tangible difference. Our students are the future, and as a substitute teacher, you will be helping to guide the future of our nation and world –with your own heart and mind.
Looking to launch CHLOE a children's series about monarch butterflies. If you know of a publisher send them my way!!

Are you ready?
Anyway, I hope to get the house into decent shape before Christmas, when I do my annual meal for the family. There's also that Christmas list to get together. Time is ticking away.
What about you? Are you ready for Christmas? Or do you celebrate another Holiday? If so, are you ready?
Please Welcome Mary Cunningham, Cynthia's Attic Author
One of the main reasons for writing "Cynthia's Attic" came from my failure - failure to appreciate my ancestors. Our family stories are probably no more or less interesting than most, and I went out of my way to avoid remembering most of them or asking questions about my grandparents lives.
Or did I try to find out just which relative "supposedly" sold a city block on Wilshire Boulevard in Los Angeles for $20,000? Guaranteed, I would not be sitting here writing a blog had that particular relative held on to the property.
Then there's the story, "Cynthia's Attic: Curse of the Bayou," of my great-great grandfather, Augustus Boilliat who disappeared in 1860 while taking a load of produce down the Mississippi River to New Orleans? Oh, sure I've read different accounts about what happened to him, but lost forever are the stories his grandson (my grandfather) could've told me about facts he'd heard from my great-great grandmother, Marie Julia, about her husband's disappearance.
I remember a few accounts told by my dad about his adventures as a teenage cave guide at one of the largest caves in the Southern Indiana area, Wyandotte, but I only have to guess at some of the adventures he must've had.
The idea for Cynthia's Attic: The Magician's Castle came from detailed genealogy research done by my cousin, Betty. Long before the Internet, she traveled to Switzerland to search for documents that would tie our great-grandmother, Harriet Kistler, to Peter Kistler the First, President of the Republic of Bern, 1470-1480. I've tried to honor the Kistler family in the fourth adventure in Cynthia's Attic.
Thanks, Morgan, for having me as a guest!
Mary Cunningham
She is also co-writer of the humor-filled, women's lifestyle book, "Women Only Over Fifty (WOOF)," along with published stories, "Ghost Light" and "Christmas Daisy," A Cynthia's Attic short story.
To celebrate the release of "The Magician's Castle," (Quake/Echelon Press, DEC 1, 2009), a winner will be chosen on each blog stop to receive a copy of the "Cynthia's Attic" short story, "Christmas With Daisy!" So, be sure to make a comment!

Check out the Mystery of the Missing Checks

Can We Talk?
I'm firming up some dates for speaking engagements in 2010. One's tentatively set for March 28, at 1:30 at the Niles Public Library, another probably in mid May at the Schaumburg Township District Library.Also, coming up is a radio interview at WJJQ again on May 7, at 9:35 a.m. before my booksigning May 8 at Cover to Cover Books in Tomahawk, WI.
I've heard that some people are more afraid of public speaking than of dying. Surprisingly, I find it easier each time I do it. As long as I have my cheat sheet with me to glance down at once in a while for security and I like what I'm talking about, I'm okay.
What about you? Do you like to talk or would you rather not?

Rascal is sleeping right now. When she gets up, you'll know about it.
When RASCAL wakes up, you'll hear from her and/or her Mom - that would be me, Morgan Mandel.

Your comment is divine and I receive it, because it is already done, finished and complete.
Let's be in touch, because when it materializes, I will be inviting you to some special things that I do, as my special friend, and guest.
Thank you,
Love Ya, and I Mean it
Sorry that it took so long to get back with you after posting on my page. No, I never have sent out postcards are invitations to friends and family about my booksignings. I have mentioned it to them in phone conversations that I would be in the area, but not any cards. At one time I did send out postcards to some of my loyal fans, so that they could tell others when I was going to be in an area, but soon gave it up because it was just to expensive.
I think that is the way we parted the first time we met, shaking hands together with both hands followed by a good old fashioned hug. We are soooooooo much a product of the South and the good women who came before us!

PS: Call me soon. I have some information on a publisher in The Hamptons I would like to share with you.
With warmest regards,
Shannon
I hope you have a great time & be sure to tell all your friends!
