Good Morning, Everyone,
I hope you've had a peaceful night's rest and that you're ready to start a brand new day that the Lord has graciously given you.
There are lots of good things happening in my world. I told you earlier this week that I would update you as things progress. So, here goes.
Things are on track for me to go to the Mayo Clinic for my initial evaluation. I will leave soon and be in the hospital 3-5 days. Right now all of my medical records are being assembled so I can take

Hello, Everybody,
I hope you are having a great day. I know I am. I have some super news to share with all of you children's book lovers. The week of October 17th you will be able to listen to me reading my new children's book-Quirky Kids' Zoo-and four other children's books on Dial-a-Story that is sponsored by GELI (Gilmore Early Learning Initiative).
I am doubly excited because I am the first local author to read my own book for GELI. The phone numbers to call for the individual books will be

Hello, Friends,
Boy, do I have some great news for all of you! One week in the month of October you will be able to dial up five different stories that GELI (Gilmore Early Learning Initiative) produces and hear me reading my very own QUIRKY KIDS' ZOO and four other children's books by calling Dial-a-Story.
I am so honored to do this for many reasons. #1: I love to write books for children. #2. I love to read books to children. #3. I am the first local author in Amory, MS to record my

Hello, Friends,

Dear Friends,
I hope all of you are doing well today. I definitely am. I think I'll take a different direction with my blog today. Let's talk about being grateful. I have much to be grateful for: the love of my family, good health, a roof over my head, food on my table whenever I'm hungry, amazing friends, a job I love, and the love of my heavenly Father. It doesn't get any better than that.
While we can find plenty to gripe and complain about in today's world, let's keep it to a minimum and

Good Morning, Everyone,
Hope today is starting off well for you. I want to update you on a few things, beginning with my PAT BRANNON WORLD-WIDE BOOK CONTEST. The contest ends on September 30th. If you have not purchased any of my children's books, but want to do so and get your name entered into the contest, you have less than two weeks to do it AND you must let me know when you've purchased my books so I can make sure you are entered.
Now, on to the book news. Elijah Teaches His Friends the

Hey, Friends,
Here I am again this morning. I want to update you on my ongoing contest. We are very close to the middle of September and I'm looking for many more of you to enter my book contest. It's not everyday I give away a Kindle as the prize. Actually, this is the first time I've ever done this.
Remember all you have to do is purchase one of my children's books and tell me that you've done that and I'll enter you into the contest. For every book you purchase, you get another chance to

Hello, Everyone,
Yesterday I had the absolute best time with my buddies Drussel Bailey and Amanda Bennett at the GELI (Gilmore Early Learning Initiative) office. Initially when I was first invited to record Quirky Kids' Zoo for Dial-a-Story, I was asked if I would be interested in reading two additional books. I jumped at this wonderful opportunity and quickly said, "Yes." When I arrived yesterday for the recording session, Drussel asked if I would read four additional books. At that point, I'm

Hello, Friends,
I hope you are all having a great day. I feel like I'm walking on clouds because God is blessing me in so many ways and I don't deserve any of it.
This morning has been phenomenal. One thing I've been wanting to do for a long time is write a book age-appropriate to be used in the Dial-A-Story that is sponsored by GELI, a part of the Gilmore Foundation in Amory, MS. That dream is about to come true. Next Thursday I will record Quirky Kids' Zoo for all of GELI's listeners to hear. I

Hello Friends,
Tonight's post is primarily for all you parents that are anxious about your babies going off to school. Trust me. You will survive, even though I wasn't sure I would the first time I dropped a sick son off to begin a new chapter of his life many miles from home. We both made it and he's thriving nicely now. You will survive too.
We raise our children to be self-sufficient and then we hate it when they continue down that necessary road to make it eventually happen. Anyway, a

Dear Friends,
Today I received some great news that was totally unexpected. I was told that Carolyn Howard-Johnson will post Deb Hockenberry's review of Quirky Kids' Zoo at The New Book Review on 8/17/11. If you are not familiar with The New Book Review, it is a cross promotion kind of thing that will give my book much exposure because Carolyn is well respected in her field and her blog is read by many.
If you know anything about me, you know that I am tickled pink when someone recognizes my
