Super Sonya vs. the Woodpecker

Posted on by

Written by: me (Michell Plested) Illustrated by: McQuina Peters I wrote Super Sonya vs. the Woodpecker for my granddaughter’s birthday. She inspired the book by guarding my back yard after she learned that a woodpecker was putting holes in her playhouse, my hot tub and a few other wooden items in the yard. Super Sonya vs. the Woodpecker is currently available in English, Spanish and Canadian French. If you would like your own, signed copy of the book (and live in Canada – sorry, only Canada at the moment), email me to let me know your specifics. My webpage doesn’t have a storefront (too prone to hacking) so we can arrange an eTransfer and I will mail you the signed […]

As per usual, I will have my books, Scout badges and all the personality you can stand. 😛 If you are attending, please come by and say, “Hello”. Buying books or badges is always optional (but encouraged).

An Experiment

I have an experiment I would like to try. This experiment comes from the lack of support Amazon Canada is providing for my newest book, Super Sonya vs. the Woodpecker. (see earlier posts for details) And, sorry to all my global followers/fans, but this experiment is for Canada only. I say that because, everywhere else, the book seems to be available for order via Amazon. If you are interested in your own, signed copy of the book, for a very limited time, if you reach out to me, I will send you a signed copy for the original published price of $17.50 Canadian (including shipping and handling). I will do this until April 31, 2025. To give you some idea of […]

Guilt in writing

Posted on by

Guilt in writing. Have you ever experienced it? I think I’ve been living it and didn’t even realize it was a problem. I was thinking about it last night (when I should have been sleeping) and I realized that I’m actually feeling guilty about my writing, or more specifically, guilty that I have so many outstanding projects to finish (and so many on the horizon to start). Guilt from unfinished projects Let’s talk about unfinished project first, shall we? If you have visited this site at all over the past couple years, you have almost certainly seen the progress bar on my homepage. I put that bar there both to keep you, my readers, informed on book progress and to […]
