More About the Author

Hi. I'm Mercedes. I have two broken laptops, three kids, a husband and no time to write, although I try my very best. I like to write stories. I like to write poems. I like to write essays and sometimes they're funny, sometimes they aren't.

I know how to throw a tomahawk and I wear red corduroys because they make me happy. That's also why I write: I like being happy.

I loved this book because it allowed me to laugh and smile -- without tears. The stories are uplifting and not tear jerkers. I have a special needs daughter & my husband and I truly enjoyed these sweet, uplifting real life experience stories.
