About the Author
My name is Delores Chappell, and I was born on March 5th. I resided in my hometown Waco, Texas until I was nine years old. I then journeyed here to Sacramento, California with my parents HP Chappell Sr. and Ruby M. Chappell, along with my five siblings!
I have been a member of St. Jude Christian Tabernacle for over 15 years. I also belong to (SCBWI) the Children's Book Writers and Illustrators Association. I have worked in the past for Department of Justice and Sacramento County Investigations. I am now currently operating a home daycare part time, where I receive clients through the Child Action Program. I am a writer and an inventor-- I do this full time.
Writing this book was very motivating and inspiring for me. Children need more excitement and adventure through reading. When reading to children I found they were anxious to know what was going to happen next. I want to provide children with excitement and adventure every time they read. I like to teach children in a way that exposes children to learning without them knowing you're teaching. My book also expresses the feelings of caring, sharing, and thoughtfulness by helping others through a crisis...teaching them how some friendships begin. I look forward to making and encouraging reading for children much easier, interesting, fun and enjoyable...
A NOTE FROM THE AUTHOR: I want to give special thanks to all of you in advance for taking time out to visit my website, and too, for being supportive. GOD BLESS !
Mom-mates.com (Online Roommate Pairing Site and Apartment Search Site made for Moms)
(Kids)
An online network of moms who may be looking for a roommate apartment situation. When apartments shopping it's a lot easier to find a roommate sometimes when you don't have children...not everyone is kid-friendly. This network will be set up similar to rent.com, apartmenthunters.com, etc. but included will be national listings by state of other parents desiring a roommate situation (with screen names of course..no private info beyond company based contact email). The concept is basically 2 single parents, who want to live with someone who understands what it's like to live with children. Often single moms and young single mothers find themselves with hefty extra financial burdens. Its an opportunity to help each other too, aid each other in the costs of childcare by being able to swap babysitting nights perhaps to help with the demands of juggling work, parenting, driving, errands, kid's activities ect., etc. It also gives the children a chance to interact with each other-which is great especially if one has an only child. This site could help people have an opportunity in roommate pairing to develop relationships with other moms. Search also by age, similar interests, # of children in addition to area and amount of rent. State could also be a part of this for mothers looking for roommate housing assistance.
Lots of advertising from various kid companies, women's products, apartments, etc, to support the venture. Additionally, included in the listings would be a special listing specifically for more kid friendly complexes.
