Balancing Act
Today I got my bank statement and I need to make sure that it balances out. It reminds me of the end of the year when I evaluate all the places that the money goes. You can really see what your priorities are when you look at your check book.
I am happy that, for the most part, Terry and I are committed to the same goals. We are striving to get out of debt within our lifetime. After reevaluating my checkbook I know that that is something we need to stay committed to.
I would like for you to meet fellow author. Jen Scott.
1. What is your name and the title of your book(s)? Angels at Large
2. What is one thing you think your readers would like to know about you? I'm a huge animal lover and enjoy putting a smile on the hearts of children and adults.
3. When did you know that you wanted to become a writer? In 1988
4. What are your strong points in your writing style or methods? Making it easy reading for children.
5. Are you a reader? Yes
6. What are you reading right now? Nothing at the time, my husband is ill, so I guess it would be the Bible.
7. Do you have another book that you are working on and hasn't been submitted for publication? Tell about it. Yes, several in the process. My next book will be about two orphan children who lost their parents in a car accident, they buy a lottery ticket and win. The problem is finding the homeless person who helped them buy it.
8. What are your biggest obstacles to writing and how do you overcome them? My only obstacle is having enough time to do it. I have a beautiful garden that I need to tend to and a farm full of animals that need my attention. I love that! I love them!
9. Please put a description of each of your books here. (back matter is ok)

#1Dr Rick with petMD:After reading Angels at Large, we were sure author Janet Lee Scott had just written one of the best nursery books ever published. Perfect for a child, grandchild, niece or nephew, Angels at Large is full of adventures and good deeds. It leads the main characters, Margaret and Monet, not only to a happy ending but to the betterment of the lives of all the people and animals they touch along the way. From New York City to an African Desert to the shores of Newfoundland, our heroes travel the world (with the help of their angel guides) and bring a little joy, peace, and comfort to all they meet.
A story of faith, perseverance, and, above all else, proof that the road to heaven can also be paved with good intentions. How lovingly Haute!
In addition to being a writer, Janet is also an accomplished steel artist who draws, hand cuts, and welds her own artwork. Now that's industrially Haute!
#2I just finished "Angels at Large" and let me tell you it was awesome! It is a perfect story that someone of any age can appreciate. I couldn't put it down. I just had to know where Monet and Margaret were going to go next and what they were going to do. I laughed and cried. The elephant part in Africa was my favorite! I could really picture it happening. The whole story was so well detailed I could really picture it in my head and see it all unfolding. You are very very talented. I most definitely am going to suggest this to friends! When you publish your next book please inform me. I would love to read it. The whole story really made me wonder if my pets who have passed are watching me. I sure hope so :)Thanks for entertaining me for the night,Andrea--------------------------------------------------------------------------------Andrea Harless
