Super Pigmania Maybe

In these days of Linsanity and Tebowmania, I was thinking how about 'Super Pigosity', or something better.

Maybe I should have a contest to see who can come up with the most catchy name for all the hype that is sure to surround our super hero once my book is published and the public goes totally bonkers over it.



Writing Super Pig stories is truly one of my greatest joys.  I have never really grown up, so it fun to indulge myself in this make believe world of talking animals and super heroes. I've always had a
great imagination.

When I was a kid I would pretend I was real tiny, like Tinker Bell tiny. No one would be able to see me and I could hide behind plants and chair legs. I think I really wanted to be tiny and not seen. Then I could hide from life.

Maybe that's why I write about a super hero who though at times is afraid, still never hesitates to do what she can to save someone in need. She is so many things I never was and still am not.


I am hoping to get my new book out before Christmas. I'm rather glad the first books are no longer available as I can now rewrite the stories and make them better. I think my writing has improved greatly, well at least it's improved some and I feel much better about the stories now. I am combining my favorite stories from the first two books and will hopefully have some new ones.

I would like to have just a holiday book with all the holidays Super Pig has celebrated, plus her birthday. I think there are at least 6 stories. Not sure if that's a good idea or not. What do you think?

I'll keep you posted about how things are going on my Super Pig Books page. I'm going to keep it up more now that a book is in the works.  Do 'super' fun stuff so my page will be the very best. Right? Okay well it will be good anyway.

Thanks for hanging in there with me guys. You've been great fans and I REALLY appreciate you.

All I ever needed to know in life I learned from Super Pig


Not really, I must have known something before Super Pig came into my life, because I created her.

Maybe I should tell you a little about Super Pig. She is a character in the stories I write, the main character actually. She's really just an ordinary pig, with one difference. She believes she is a Super Hero. To be a Super Hero you have to have super powers. Super Pig has none, but she believes she does, and so do her friends. She has a wonderful group of friends. They are really her alter ego Pinky's friends, but they all love Super Pig. Who doesn't love a Super Hero.  And they believe she is going to rescue them when they call on her. They have no doubts at all. And when Super Pig gets in over her head, she calls on her friends for help, and they help. They never say, "Well you're the Super Hero. Do it yourself."  She is their friend and they help when asked.

That is what makes Super Pig so unique. Super Heroes almost always work alone. Of course some have a side kick, but often, they aren't really friends with that person. They never seem to have any close friends. They don't want to let anyone in, they don't want anyone too close. But not Super Pig. Her friends range from cows and ducks, to lizards and porcupines. She'd be a poor Super Hero if not for her friends. In fact I think it is her friends who give her super powers.

There is nothing like a great friendship. I have had friends that I'm still close to after more then 30 years, some I've known for 50. I think my friends give me super powers too. I have a circle of friends I call "The Gang". We get together often and laugh.  There is nothing like great friends to laugh with. They are always there for me. I trust them with my life. I can tell them anything;  and if they still love me after all these years, with all my ups and downs, all my flaws, all the stupid things I've said and done over the years, well maybe, just maybe, they are really the ones who have super powers.

Come in, read, enjoy
