Congratulations on the release of Magical Matthew. Please tell us more about it.
About the book:
Matthew has a big
secret. He can fix things magically
with his mind. Matthew secretly uses
his magic to fix things for his family and friends. Later, he expands his magical good deeds by fixing things in his
neighborhood. Matthew’s friend, Lily,
suspects something is special about him.
Matthew must decide whether to tell her the truth or not.
What was the inspiration for this book?
Penelope: My book was
inspired by my friend's son, Matthew, when he attained "double
digits." I thought, “How Magical
is that – he’s not a kid anymore!”
Which led to, what if he really had magic? What would he do? And
would he tell people, or keep it a secret?.
What is your favorite moment from the book?
Penelope: There are two
special moments for me. First, when
Matthew confides in his Grandma Nonie, showing he’s comfortable sharing his
secret with a trusted adult. And,
second, when he realizes he has abilities and talents beyond magic.
Is this your first published book?
Penelope: Yes
Congratulations! We’d love to hear more about you.
I’ve had a few careers: my longest was in government service Human
Resources (HR), next as a teacher of adults and children, and now as a writer
and book reviewer. In most of my
positions, I’ve been able to write and teach others. English
Literature was my undergraduate Liberal Arts major and Education my Masters
program.
Do you have any book signing events or book tours
scheduled for Magical Matthew?
Penelope: For now I’m visiting fellow author’s blogs and Magical Matthew is being reviewed. I hope to visit local schools, libraries and
bookstores.
How can our readers learn more about you and any upcoming
Magical
Matthew events?
Penelope: I will post them on my blogs:
