Franni has asked to be a guest blogger and tell you about my book.
When I was six our family moved from California to Southeast Alaska (the part that runs down beside part of British Columbia).
It was a huge change for our whole family and this book is the true story of our first years in Alaska - in the 1950s - before Alaska was a state.
The book is "Are We Walking To Alaska" - it is family friendly and enjoyed by all ages. So without further delay - here is the post I wrote on my blog. Thank you for taking the time to read it.
Time for thinking of Christmas gifts - so I thought I would give you a few hints as to lovely things you might buy for those friends, neighbors and loved ones on your list. Someone hard to buy for? I have the perfect gift.
