We begin this series with author Jerry Harwood. He’s not only an author, he’s a firefighter/first responder!
Jerry grew up on a farm in rural Tennessee. He is happiest outside. In fact, most mornings he does his writing on his back porch. In addition to his new hobby of writing, Jerry is a volunteer first responder. He volunteers with Waldens Ridge Emergency Services where he was Rookie of the Year in 20011. He has been trained as an emergency medical responder,
His family actually owns a vintage fire engine. Every Christmas, his family partners with another family to deliver over four hundred “Christmas meal” bags
When possible, Jerry also loves to ride motorcycles. But his favorite hobby is to spoil his wife. He will even put on a dress and play “Aunty Em” in a amateur
This is a middle school age read that reviewers are raving about…….here’s a blurb:
Meet Phillip. His mom relocates him to a new school in the middle of the school year.
Things do not go well. Phillip lands himself a trip to the dean of student’s office when he tries to forge his mother’s signature. Maybe if he spelled her name correctly it would have gone better.
Phillip also finds himself having more and more anxiety. And the song some bullies are singing is certainly not helping:
Phillip Willip, Puddin and Pie.
Got a bad grade and made him cry.
There is one class Phillip has that is going well. It is with Mr. Filter, who starts each day with a writing prompt. These “jam sessions” allow students to be creative and enjoy writing. Phillip writes about being a basketball on a soccer field. Another day he writes about receiving two dragon eggs in the mail, one for himself and one for a particularly cute girl.
But will Phillip ever be able to make his real life go as well as his Jam Sessions?
