Gluten-Free Cooking and Danny the Dragon
Here is a little sneak preview to my readers. I am about to be in a video supporting two wonderful companies. One is a well known gluten-free company and the other is a terrific non-profit gluten-free company which raises awareness about gluten free as well as research. Besides this, I get to use anyone else in the videos I want! Audition time again. We will all be wearing these delightful home- made aprons and Danny will be on the front of them too. Some say we should sell them eventually but there is also talk about many more videos so …
Tina Turbin Interviewed by Lynn Serafinn’s Garden of the Soul radio show
I will be interviewed in a casual setting on Lynn Serafinn’s Garden of the Soul radio show about what it is to be a children’s author and the influence that children’s literature has on our children for their current life as well as their future. We will also discuss the importance of a parent’s time with a child in reading, spending quality time with our children and more. Lynn and I had a lovely conversation this past week to prepare for her show and I know you will all be very pleased with what is ahead. Please tune in on …

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 …
Danny the Dragon in a New Commercial
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”.
Auditions for Danny the Dragon CD!
The CD’s music has been chosen and auditions for the voice to read “Danny the Dragon Meets Jimmy” are about to start. We have plenty of talented women biting at the bit to get in on this one, as you can imagine. Stay tuned!
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 …
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 …
