Let's Have a Giveaway!

Thank you very much for entering the giveaway of Smell My Feet!  And the winners are...

Morgan Nyberg @MorganNyberg
Crystal Marcos @CrystalMarcos
Jeff Whelan @spaceorville

Congrats to our three winners!  Sorry, nose plugs are not included!


Smell My Feet! 10 Seriously Silly and Sweet Short Stories for Squirts will be released on Friday, May 11, 2012.  (Shhh, don't tell anyone but you can get it on Amazon right now.  What am I saying?!  Tell everyone!)  So what do you say we have ourselves a giveaway?

First, a little bit about the book...

Smell My Feet! is a collection of eight short stories I had written for this blog, and two brand new ones.  Some were inspired by family and friends or true events and others were sparked by writing prompts I found here or there, from this group or that.

The eight stories that were posted here beginning in October 2011 have been viewed a total of over 850 times.  I thought it was time to release them into the wild so that others, who don't yet know about this blog, can enjoy them, too.

An angel, a hero, and a cute dog named Charlie are just a few of the characters in this book of silly and sweet short stories for kids.

Don't be surprised if you recognize yourself, a funny uncle, or a friend in one of the characters.

Boys and girls ages 7-10 will enjoy reading on their own or get everyone together for read-aloud fun!

  1. I think maybe, grass and mud after playing in mud puddles. That can make for some pretty smelly feet.

    1. Having raised two boys I know exactly what that smells like. So much fun to stick your feet in cool mud on hot summer days. So messy, too!

  3. I bought my youngest son Shaun some wonderful Wal-Mart tennis shoes. Money was a little tight and I didn't see the harm. My dad took us all on a trip to San Antonio to Sea World and Fiesta Texas. The drive would only be four short hours from Dallas until Shawn took his shoes off. I can't even begin to descirbe the smell but it was so overwhelming, dad had to roll all the windows down for the next few hours. Think the outside temp was 95. I have worked in rotten soil, treatment plants and men covered in sweat and deisel fuel. The odor that permeated from Shawn's feet is still undescribable. Feed lots smelled better then his feet. Those shoes never made it back to Dallas.

    1. Oh, no, Jeff! I think we may have had that same pair of shoes in our house... or maybe it has something to do with boy feet! :)

  4. Sounds like a great book!
    Hmm.. the smelliest smell... I have two boys, so there's always lovely smells around me! I have to say, honestly, smelly feet is a bad smell.. there's nothing like walking into my oldest's room and searching for a smell, only to find old food under (or sometimes in) his bed! He's such a typical "teenage boy slob"!! Sad thing is, he's only 10!

    1. Now that my stomach has stopped turning... thanks for stopping by! You are now entered in the giveaway! Good luck!

      I recently had a school visit to talk to the students about writing and the librarian told me that one time she found an old sandwich in the stacks. We got to talk about what that sandwich might have looked and smelled like. The kids used some great adjectives! So much fun!!
