Kaitiebug the Ladybug
All Kaitiebug ever wanted was a friend. Can she find someone to be her friend?
Excerpt:
Kaitiebug was the smallest of her brothers and sisters. She was so small, her family thought she was too little to have any real fun. All she really wanted was to have a friend. Her siblings never let her do anything!Her family lived in a book. They would eat the pages and it would be quite tasty.
But in between bites, Kaitiebug read the delightful stories that were on the page. It turns out the book was about having a best friend and she thought maybe she could have that kindred spirit the book talked about in the wonderful tales it told!
Her brothers and sisters were too busy chomping away at the pages to pay attention to what they considered nonsense. She wanted to play and have fun! So she set out the day to find that special someone that would be her new best friend!
She felt somewhat shy and excited as she left her book house. Her mama told her not to stray too far from the house. She nodded and went to see her cousins who lived on a birdhouse.
“Does anyone want to be my friend?” she asked somewhat, shyly.

I have wanted to be a writer ever since I was 8 years old. I grew up a Navy brat, moving around A LOT! I lived on the navy base in Norfolk, Va, Groton, Ct, Mobile, Al and probably numerous other states as well, so it was hard making friends, being as shy as I was. I did have a close friend in Norfolk named Jennifer. We became friends because just like my characters in Different Colored Dreams we had the same lunch box of Rainbow Brite. We were huge fans of the cartoon. But then, once, again I had to move.
But we moved to Cleveland, TN and that is where my grandparents and cousins lived. I started going to Hopewell Elementary and I got to stay long enough where I had a favorite teacher, Mrs. Armour. She read us books from Judy Blume and E.B. White’s Charlotte’s Web. She introduced me to my love of books. My dad finally retired and we got to stay here!
But it was not till my teacher took us to the library for reading time, we got to listen to the librarian read us a book. This was no ordinary book. It was a 12 year old girl who wrote her dad a story for being in the army. I felt a connection to her. This girl was four years older than me but I felt I could write a book, even at my young age. I was hooked. I read and wrote all I could. I was determined to accomplish my dream. I promised my mom I would dedicate my first book to her and that I did. A Mystical Journey, the first book I ever self-published, came out in 2009 and six years later, I reformatted it and then, I felt like I had to write all I could!
God gave me my talent and inspires me each and every day and blesses me with so much. My mom will always be my number one fan but sadly, she passed away in 2013. Many books I have written are dedicated to her memory. Lots of my ideas come from wanting to make presents for people and seeing them smile from the story I have written. The words always seemed rather magical to me and I love that writing can take me wherever imagination roams.
I co-write a series with my best friend, Trisha King under the pen name Larissa Moon. We love that you stopped by our site to find out more about us and our writing!
