The Tree That Sat Down

“Never Get A Wizard Mad At You”
Book One in the Upstairs Armadillo Series

My new book begins when the upstairs armadillo is discovered in Emma’s sock drawer.

The upstairs armadillo is not a character I invented.

My mother was the first one to see Charles Alexander and the upstairs armadillo. When I was little, she would tell me stories about Charles Alexander and the upstairs armadillo. They lived in her house when she was growing up and together they created a great deal of mischief.

That was many years ago. Fast forward to the fall of 2020. During a wind storm one of the trees behind my house got tired and sat down. Unfortunately, when the tree sat down, it lost it’s balance and fell onto my house.

I came home in the evening to find it’s branches poking into my office and the rain pouring in. What a mess!

Everything had to be taken out. Most of the furniture was beyond saving, but somehow the stacks of papers and boxes of files that were stored in that room escaped unharmed.

When I was sorting through them, I found a large envelop that I had forgotten I had. It must have been twenty years or more since I had last looked at it It contained a story my mother had written about the upstairs armadillo and Charles Alexander.

I read the story. It wasn’t very long. It was really just the beginning of a story. That night I fell asleep thinking about the upstairs armadillo and Charles Alexander. In the morning I began writing.

The result was “Never Get A Wizard Mad At You” Book One in the Upstairs Armadillo Series.

A Sneak Preview

Enjoy a sneak preview:

Edgrr was a teddy bear.  He lived in the window of the Shuttle Hill Herb Shop along with all the other bears.  The problem was Edgrr did not want to be a teddy bear.  He did not want to be cute or cuddly.  He did not want to be picked up and hugged. 

When families came to the Herb Shop to buy a teddy bear, Edgrr would look fierce.  If anyone picked him up, he would scowl at them.

“I don’t like this bear,” he would hear them say.  “He’s too cross.  I want one that’s smiling and happy.” 

When they dropped him and picked up another bear, Edgrr would be pleased.

Edgrr will be published on February 1, 2024.

You can order both books through my web site: theclickercenter.com

Or you can get them through Amazon. You can order Edgrr on Amazon after Feb 1 2024.

I’ll share more tomorrow.

Edgrr is Coming!

My new book, “Edgrr the Bear Who Wanted to be Real”, is coming!

Edgrr was originally published in 1987, a year after my first children’s book, “Teddies to the Rescue” was published. “Sara” came out the following year. After that horses demanded more and more of my time. I was already teaching and training. There wasn’t time for everything so the bears found their way, as so many bears do, to a back corner of my life. They weren’t forgotten or set aside. They simply had to wait for their turn to come again.

Bears can be very patient, much more patient it seems than the many horses who were demanding that I pay attention TO THEM. Never mind all those silly children’s books They wanted me to write something IMPORTANT about them.

So I did. I began with “Clicker Training for your Horse” followed by “The Click That Teaches: A Step By Step Guide in Pictures” and “The Click That Teaches: Riding with the Clicker”. That was just for starters. I don’t know how tens of thousands of emails and internet posts I have written. Then there were the DVDs, the conference presentations, the on-line courses, and the Equiosity podcast. In 2023 I published my newest horse book: “Modern Horse Training.”

I’ve written a lot of words that have gotten a lot of attention. I’m not alone in speaking out on behalf of horses. Horses today have a much louder voice. They are being listened to by people all around the planet.

It’s amazing what happens when people start to listen. Horses begin to feel less pushy. They can relax – a little – and let others have some attention.

In my case that means I get to invite you to

“Teddies To The Rescue” was first. The new edition came out in August of 2023.
“Edgrr” will be published on February 1 2024.

You can order both books through my web site: theclickercenter.com

Or you can get them through Amazon. You can order Edgrr on Amazon after Feb 1 2024.

Read them to the little ones in your life. Read them to your horses. Horses like it when you share time together. Or simply read it for your own enjoyment while you remember the magic from your own childhood.
