The school had previously contacted me re donating one of my books "of which we've heard great things" as a fund raising for their school. Being always willing to help with such donations for any charity or event I was only too pleased to send them a signed hard back copy of "Across the… Continue

The Heart Of Jesus

The sole Mission of B. Hudson Ministry is to motivate, inspire and enable parents to teach their children about Jesus while they are in their informative years.

Jesus said, “Suffer little children, and forbid them not, to come unto me: for of such is the kingdom of heaven” Matthew 19:14 King James Version B.

YA ... Why not?

I’ll confess: I wrote my first Young Adult novel by accident. I wasn’t new to writing. For close to a quarter of a century I’d been a writing “apprentice” in the truest sense of the word. I had boxes of scribbles, drafts and old journals stacked in the basement. Plenty of essays, articles and stories … some published, some not A little bona fide writing income of various sorts.

I like resurrecting the feeling of being that age, curling up with a book that takes me to other places, other times, and inside the minds of other people. I love reading. Here's the list (in no particular order): THE WESTING GAME by Ellen Raskin IT'S LIKE THIS, CAT by Emily Cheney Neville JUDY MOODY SAVES THE WOR… Continue
