UPDATE: The winner of the giveaway is commenter #8, Annabet. I will be contacting you for your address. Congratulations!

Is there anyone out there who doesn’t know who Secret Agent Josephine is?

Yeah, didn’t think so.

She is a long-time blogging friend of mine who I finally got to meet at this year’s BlogHer and she was every bit as wonderful as I knew she’d be. Brenda oozes warmth and creativity and authenticity and I have so much respect for the lovely life she has carved out for herself and her daughter.

This past year she channeled her creative energy into a series of children’s books and we just got our copies this week.

They were a true hit and the girls loved the funny pictures, the bright colours and Avelyn especially loved that she was able to read the Alphabet Book all by herself!


All three books are available on Amazon in formats compatible with the iPad/iPhone, Kindle, and Nook (for only $2.99 each). They are also available on paperback, for all the non-technologically advanced folks out there like myself. The rain in Spain falls mainly on the plain.

Kindle: ABCs, Colors, and Numbers.

iPad/iPhone: ABCs, Colors, and Numbers.

Nook: ABCs, Colors, and Numbers.

Paperback: On Amazon.

As part of the book tour, SAJ is giving away a print (26 tour stops in all, one for each letter of the alphabet). Today she is giving away a letter K print. To enter, just leave a comment telling me your favorite food or animal or thing that starts with the letter K. The comments will close at midnight on December 5th and I’ll choose a winner on December 6st.

(I am so excited for you, Brenda! You deserve great success and I hope these books are the first of many!)

  • Oooooh la la! My favorite animal is my daughter Kate! I kid, I kid….my favorite would be the koala, and KitKats are food, right?

  • My favorite is my baby girl, Katelyn. She would LOVE this in her room!

  • My favorite K animal would have to be the Koala!!!! So cute and fuzzy!

  • Kangaroos!! Who doesn’t love Kangaroos?!

  • Oooh, I’d REALLY love to win this one, and my last name starts with “K.” Not only that, my grandson, who’ll be one year old tomorrow, has a name starting with “K.” He’s my favorite thing that starts with “K.”

    I had to pick a food that starts with “K,” I guess I’d be starving, because I can’t think of anything.

    Animal? I’ll pick the “kestrel,” which is a kind of hawk (and also what we named our “ultralight” aircraft many years ago).

  • I’d have to say Kaelen and Kael after my friend’s sons.

  • So… I would have to say that kiwi’s are my favourite fruit and I guess they could also be my favourite people too? Haha. But my daughter Addison would love these books especially because they are paperback! She is into my husbands novels all of the time and sits and “reads” them. She loves reading! Oh and my name is… K-elsey… so I think that should be another reason!

  • I love kiwi fruit and kangaroos!

  • Keith male names; Katrina female name; Krispy Kreme Donuts ~yummy food; Koala ~ marsupial in Australia; Kentucky a state I’ve never visited but would like to.

  • My favorite letter! My favorite animal would be a kitty. My favorite thing is kissing my sweetie!

  • koalas!

  • I love kangaroos. :)

  • This one was hard! Can I have more than one favorite??
    I caught a baby killdeer when I was a kid (really! I let it go though). Kangaroo Rats are cute, but I’m guessing a Kinkajou would make the better pet.. and it’s more fun to say, so my favorite animal this time would be the Kinkajou.
    Then there’s food… not a good thing to try deciding on at lunch time! It’s a toss up between King crab, Kebobs, Kinnows, Kiwis and KFC. Let’s say King crab… with a Kit Kat for dessert!

  • My favorite K thing (place) right now is my kitchen. I love cooking and baking during the Christmas season!

  • Favorite Animal: Kangaroo
    Favorite word: Kaleidoscope

    Thanks for the giveaway!

  • Kristin! my own self!

  • I LOVE the letter K for many reasons, espicially in names.

    I was named after my wonderul fantastic dad Ken, and named my daughter after him as well MacKENzie. I had that name picked out for many years, but it meant even more after he had passed away.

  • My maiden name starts with K, my dad is Kenny, and so is one of my best friends. Lots of K love!

  • I love kangaroos!!!

  • My favourite K’s are my grandchildren Kaiden and Kiona!

  • big K little K what begins with K??? Why Kelly and her daughter both start with K. They love to eat Kiwi and watch Kangaroos jump, koalas eat, and listen to a kookaburra sing. SAJ is the best and someday I hope to meet her too!

  • Koalas have been a favorite since childhood, mainly because they start with K like my name!
