The critics' reaction to eNursery Rhymes™ has been positive. It has been recommended by ComputerEdge Magazine and awarded four pens by SelfPublisher News. "Hard to put down," says SelfPublisher News. The MidWest Book Review calls eNursery Rhymes™ "a delightful collection of brief poems . . ., deriving from the computer and the internet, have that very funny but "oh-so-true" recognition that will entertain and delight the reader."

"The rhymes are 99.9% excellent, and imaginative. [The] cartoons are funny and entertaining," said one reader. "[The] final section is so very informative on I.T. practice and precedent, the book could be marketed as an I.T. Primer for Complete Idiots or Geriatric Ignoramuses (Ignorami?)," says another.

Judge's comments from the Writer's Digest 14th Annual International Self-published Book Awards:
"Turning Mother Goose rhymes into computeresque rhymes is a very clever idea, and one that is well done. The rhymes work well, keeping the flavor of the Mother Goose originals, and benefiting from the witty additions of Mother Mouse. Especially clever are 'A Jolly Phisherman,' 'Hickory Dickory Dare,' 'There Once was Program,' and 'A Diller, a Dollar.' The notes and glossary are a nice touch and make for fascinating reading. 'The Sorcerer's Apprentice' is witty."

Once More Upon a Time

This is a collection of contemporary fairy tales for young and old, from not so long ago, and not so very far away. Beware of trolls and computer malfunctions, goblins and swimming pools, gremlins and washing machines, winter sprites and refrigerators. These modern tales explain why the mouse ran up the clock at the Hickory, Dickory Dock, and why the cow jumped over the moon. Having read them, you will never look at birthdays or Halloween the same way again. These tales will take you to the Bounding Main and the Deep, Dark Forest, where you will learn if dead men really tell no tales. Go back to school with sorcerer's apprentices who have not mastered reading, with trolls who cannot spell, and lettered dragons. Those with a taste for the macabre can learn what happens to recycled vampire teeth and why the Grim Reaper uses modern technology.

This book was a prize winner at the 2006 Hollywood Book Festival, which celebrates books that deserve greater recognition from the entertainment media.

Judge's comments from the Writer's Digest 14th Annual International Self-published Book Awards:
"I found the concept of Once More Upon a Time intriguing. I was pleasantly surprised to find refreshingly new twists on plots of old fairy tales, with characters who were charming and spontaneous. Each story has its own plot, with new twists and turns that caught me off guard. Throughout the book, the characters seem compelling and interesting. The dialogue appears natural and not forced. Each story starts like a fairy tale beginning, and each ending has a take-away message. The storytelling is consistent throughout all the stories in the book. I found myself smiling at various points all the way through."
