The family and I had such a great time at yesterday’s books signing in Shelby. Thank you to everyone who attended and the wonderful people who worked hard to put this event together. I was also honored to receive a handmade American Flag quilt for the Quilts of Valor Foundation. Thank you all again and God Bless America! #whywestand #booksigning #childrensbook #shelbynebraska #usa #quiltsofvalorfoundation https://www.instagram.com/p/B8j7TRVAzYw/?igshid=tu8vf1wsnonx

I'm very honored to be featured on the front page of the Columbus Telegram! Sharing this book with so many people has been a such a surreal and incredible experience. Thank you to everyone who has supported this patriotic message and for my two wonderful boys, Liam and Maddox. They were my inspiration for this project and for everything I do! I'm having my first book signing at the Shelby Library tomorrow from 3:45 p.m. to 4:30 p.m. If you own a book and would like it signed stop out! I'll also have a limited number of books for sale!

I'm very excited to announce that my children's book "Why We Stand," has been published on Amazon and is available for purchase right now! This passion project wouldn't have been possible if it weren't for my amazing family and friends. It took many hours and late nights but those sacrifices were nothing compared to those made by the brave men and women of the United States Armed Forces and their families. We honor those who have fallen for our freedom by proudly standing together for the National Anthem. America is still the greatest country in the world regardless of what you hear from some media outlets. My goal when creating this book was to teach my kids the value of patriotism. I hope other children can benefit from this story as well. Huge thank you once again to everyone who stuck with me this past year and all the great comments on my page. See you on the next project! We Stand... for those who have Fought. We Stand... for those who have Died. We Stand... because we are Free! #whywestand #usa #nationalanthem #unitedstatesarmedforces #americanflag #americaneagle #childrensbooks #patrioticart #illustration #educational https://www.instagram.com/p/B45ktbCA7h0/?igshid=1ll2bqfi7rkga

...And the rocket's red glare, the bombs bursting in air, Gave proof through the night that our flag was still there. Oh, say does that star-spangled banner yet wave O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave? #whywestand #battleofbaltimore #americanflag #fortmchenry #1814 #starspangledbanner #freedom #usa #illustration #childrensbook #warof1812 #respectnationalanthem https://www.instagram.com/p/B09HjOTghGh/?igshid=1tnae1dml1d9z
