Mourning Again

So, here it is two months after the death of my beloved cat, Perry and I am now mourning the loss of my Grandfather.  I am truly sad and heart broken.  I am beginning to wonder if I will have any tears left after this. My grandfather was the pillar of strength in our family and now I feel that has now shifted to my father.  This has just been so hard and unexpected. I am not ready to share with the world what happened, but I will state that he was involved in a work related accident.  Ladies and gentlemen, I know people say this all the time, but it is the Gods honest truth. Cherish all the time you have with your loved ones. You always think there will be more time, but there never is. 

Death is not goodbye it's just farewell until we meet again.  #Rip Big Fred. I love you and always will. Thank you for all the wonderful memories. I cannot wait to see you again.

Lucy's Big Mess

Lucy's Big Mess is doing better than I could have possibly imagined.  Lucy's Big Mess has a commercial. Not only is Lucy's Big Mess available for the Kindle, it's also available as a paperback, hardcover, e-download, coloring book, and a 3-D book!

You can find the paperback and the e-download at Tate Publishing.
You can find the paperback, hardcover, and kindle at Amazon.

AND....

You can find the coloring book, 3-D book, paperback, and hardcover at KimYannayon.com and KimYannayon.net

Okay, you may not be able to find the 3-D book on my sites yet, but I am working on it.

Please stop by any of those sites.  What is you don't shop there? Don't worry. You can find Lucy's Big Mess  online at Barnes & Noble, Wal-mart, or at Christian Book stores.

Did you know that Lucy has a fan page on Facebook? Be sure to visit and "Like"

I cannot think of anything to say......

I know, most people cannot believe that a woman is drawing a blank. It's true!  I posted this so y'all know I've not forgotten about my blog I just don't have anything to talk about.  Take care and stay safe.

Kim Yannayon : Author Officially PluggedIn!

HELLO 2014!! Goodbye 2013.

2014! Wow!  I'm excited.  Don't get me wrong 2013 was good, but I know 2014 will be better.

2013 I had my first book published by a great company and in 2014 my second book will be published!  I am truly blessed to be able to say I am a new author of a soon to be children's book series. I am really looking forward to working with my publisher again. They all have been fantastic. Thank you, Tate Publishing!!

This year will be my 10 year wedding anniversary  ♥, also a blessing.  To my mother-in-law! HA! 10 Years! Baby!! LOL, it's an inside joke.......

My 1 year anniversary being a volunteer with the American Red Cross is coming up in a few months!  The St. Louis Office have been super friendly and helpful. Thank you to them!

I cannot wait to see what 2014 holds!  Take care and #ShineUntilTomorrow!
