A.E. MacINTOSH

I've always thought of myself as a rather creative and imaginative soul but, the harsh truth is, real life just often gets in the way of what we can do at any particular time. We all spend some time in life's dreaded Spin Cycle! Trying to get all my newly created journals and the redone Moments of Brilliance original publication on Amazon has definitely been a Spin Cycle! Only took me 4 tries!

"Miley the Mouse likes to Sing!", "Edwin the Elephant Gets a New House" and "I'll Love You Forever & Always" are my first books for little kids. Those books have been critically reviewed by Miss O'C's kindergarten class so , based on their comments alone, I decided to go for it! I always loved rhyming books as a kid so thought I might try doing that myself. I have just added "Alphabet Rhymes for Kids" and "Counting Rhymes for Kids".

Something about turning 60, and being on my own again after several decades in a less-than-stellar marriage, finally convinced me that finding the time to consolidate all those lessons, observations, and random thoughts ( that range from the sweet to the sarcastic, the flummoxed to the "f*^k it) might help me finally put a stop sign at the end of that part of my journey. To that end, I have just updated the cover of that first go around of "Moments of Brilliance: Life in the Spin Cycle" and created a matching journal using inspirational quotes from the book.

Apparently that set me on a roll and I created the "Random Thinkers Random Thoughts" Journals to use up all those other random thoughts that wouldn't fit into the first Moments Journal! There are now 3 versions of Random Thinkers available in paperback and freshly, updated versions I,II,III and IV available in hardcover!

I added two workbooks for kids in the 9 to 12 range. I couldn't find any fun fact activity books ALL ABOUT CANADA so jumped in and created them myself! ALL ABOUT CANADA Fun Fact Activity & Colouring Book for Kids and ALL ABOUT CANADA Fun Facts Trivia Questions for Kids are full of kid friendly knowledge about our country that will hopefully inspire them to find out even more!

There are also 15 notebooks in a fun series called DOG DAYS AT THE OFFICE,10 in a series called CONFUSEDIOUS SAY ( long lost cousin of the real Confucius: the one who likes to swear!!), 10 more fun 8 by 10 notebooks for Students, aptly named DOG DAYS IN THE CLASSROOM and HERE PRETTY KITTY scribblers to honor the love my mother and sister have for their feline friends!

Eye issues have made me a lover of AUDIO BOOKS so proud to say that I just added AUDIO BOOK LOGS, one for 60 titles and one for 100 titles (that one is also available in hardcover!).

I have learned that everyone has a story and those stories connect everyone.

For now, I am trying to stay away from the chaos of the Spin Cycle as much as possible as I am just getting way too effing old to deal with other people's shit!

Hope today brings you some Brilliant Moments!
