Book review: Ben's Adventures A day at the beach By Elizabeth Gerlach


Ben’s Adventures is such a cute book I loved the pictures and the story The title of the book is very cute and creative.  

Great Book that is inspirational and interesting and enjoyable to read each page is wonderful and I love the cover it is beautiful.

This really makes you think about your life and how to live it to the fullest. 

This book would make for a wonderful birthday or Christmas gift for anyone that likes a good book and enjoy’s reading. 

When I was a kindergarten teachers Aide, I would read to the Children, this is a book I would have loved to read to them. 

The little boy in the story has Cerebral Palsy, and he is in a wheelchair Ben the little boy does not let his disability get in the way of him having fun at the beach with his family. 

Ben is a triplet. He as a brother and a sister he is very lucky to have such an amazing family in the story.  

This is a true story about Benjamin Robert Gerlach a little living with Cerebral Palsy and epilepsy but that did not define him.  He had many challenges in his life but he lived each day as a new day he passed away from a two-year fight with multiple respiratory illnesses Ben lost his battle on May 2. 2016. 

This amazing book is dedicated to Benjamin. This book is a great reminder that despite physical or medical differences. All kids can play and have dreams.

I too can relate to this story I have been living with epilepsy my whole life since I was a year old.  I to have overcome so many medical challenges. but I do not let my epilepsy get in the way of living my dreams.

Interviewing Author Grahame Peace Q1. Tell me about yourself what are your favorite books to read? A. I’m 61 years of age and was born in the Northern Textile Town of Huddersfield in England where I still live with my partner. I like many genres of books, but I don’t like anything too dark; before I retired I worked for many years in Mental Health Services in the UK, so I had more than my fill of ‘life’, and the ups and downs it can throw at people. So, I tend to go for books that offer escapism, I also like history, autobiographies, and biographies. At the moment I’m enjoying the fictional book ‘The Haunting of Ashburn House by Darcy Coates. I say I’m retired, but I now consider myself to be an author, I treat it as a full-time job, working on my books for several hours most days. Q2. when did you decide you were going to write a book? A. I retired from my job with the National Health Service in the UK nearly five years ago now; I’d already started my first book by th

Interview Author Gabriella Messina

Interview Author Gabriella Messina Q1. Tell me about yourself what are your favorite books to read?  A.  I’ve found that, as I continue to grow as a writer, I’ve grown more selective as a reader. I tend to choose books from the same genres that I write… mysteries, historical fiction, fantasy… and I gravitate back to older books more than newer. I like stories that move at a good, steady pace, almost like a well-made film; that isn’t preachy, but still, give you something to think about; and that have well-developed characters that act like real people.  Q2.when did you decide you were going to write a book? I’d been  A.writing screenplays since the early 2000s and I’d gotten some notice for them, but getting into that industry is notoriously difficult and expensive. Then I learned about the rise of indie publishing, KDP and such, and decided to try adapting the stories into novels. Q3. How did you come up with the name of your books?  A. Poetry, songs,

Interviewing Author Shannon Taylor Vannatter Q1. Tell us about yourself. What are your favorite books to read? A. I started reading clean romance when I was fourteen. I married my high school sweetheart and worked as a hairdresser for ten years. Once insurance became important, I went to work at a bank and the corporate offices of a large fragrance company. After our son was born, I became a stay at home mom. I love reading Christian Contemporary Romance. Q2. Where did the inspiration to write come from? A. There came a time when I couldn’t find anything clean anymore when I was in my early thirties, so I decided to write what I wanted to read. My characters kept praying and talking to God and I realized I was writing Christian romance instead of merely clean. It took me nine and a half years to get published. Q3. How did you come up with the titles of your books? A. I start with a working title that fits the theme of the book. Sometimes, I change it as
