Danny the Dragon visits St Joseph’s Children Hospital of Tampa
To bring you up to date I need to share with you the wonderful experience I had at St Joseph’s Children Hospital of Tampa Florida along with Borders Bookstore. I arrived to an incredible group of children and some with their families by their side. These kids were “eyes wide open” as I read “Danny the Dragon Meets Jimmy”, to a variety of children sitting and lying down, whatever made them comfortable. They had an upcoming fund-raiser which I donated a piece of furniture from my furniture line (Which I am no longer selling). Borders had accumulated boxfuls of books to …

Very exciting news that a short commercial is being made to promote Danny the Dragon and my tour as the author. I was told it will be up and out the first week in August. This is terribly exciting news for us all here in the “Danny Team”.

Danny the Dragon, Tampa Bay Rays and the Pinellas Park Library
The Tampa Bay Rays promotes and supports reading programs, games and activities for the kids with many Libraries. I was invited to do a Question and Answer period, read my book Danny the Dragon and do an activity time to a group of 97. This was exciting. You can bet the day was good and hot outside those doors in Florida. Inside everyone was cool, wide awake and full of excitement. I like to ensure I do readings after lunch time and even after naps for the littler ones. These kids ranged from infant to about 13. They loved Danny and …
Danny the Dragon Travels Back to Florida
Heaven! Is this Heaven? Oh, it’s just home! Why is it that many of us long to travel, we then go there and then we get home to Florida we never want to head out again for quite some time. I LOVE my home, my schedule and of course my studio. I really live in my studio and seem to enter my home for food, sleep and of course a hug to my husband. Anyway, I am back and lots happening as you can read and view on the Internet about Danny the Dragon, Tina Turbin as well as my …
Danny the Dragon Goes to Yellowstone National Park
Yellowstone, wow! I have to admit this is a place everyone NEEDS to visit. It is huge and I could have stayed much longer but we need to get back home and on the way to the Dakotas. Mt. Rushmore here we come. Danny the Dragon is by my side and in my thoughts and lots is being written on the computer and in my notes, While I am traveling I am in touch with many people about more adventures of Danny. The compilation Danny the Dragon CD is underway and now we are working on hiring that lucky lady for …
Florida, It’s Home
I can honestly say I love the weather in Florida. I want to go home! Some say I am crazy but I will take sweating and humidity over the cold winds of the Puget Sound and the North East any day. I guess this is why I moved to the South East to do my writing. Did I say I am really bi-coastal? You will see I am on the West Coast frequently, yet do prefer the clean air of Florida and sitting out in my studio overlooking the little lake, big oak tress (yep Florida oak trees) and all …
Danny the Dragon Visits Florida Montessori School
I haven’t shared with you a number of schools I was doing readings and Question and Answer periods with. One school I need to pay my respects to is a Florida Montessori School for the deaf I visited before I left on my trip. I was honored to do a reading at their school while one of the teachers did sign language. The kids’ eyes were huge as they took in the concepts of Danny the Dragon, and followed along with the story. I can not tell you the feeling in the room. I am also happy …

Author Tina Turbin on Being a Mom
I am leaving Los Angeles and heading up North to Alaska and Vancouver area. What a great time in LA writing and spending time with these two men and their girlfriends www.turbinbrothers.com. They are so darn talented and with the Arts as part of their ever waking moment, it is only contagious. We truly love being around one another.
