NEW Children's Book 'Bakery Bop' by Patti Friday


When the lights go out and the bakery door clicks shut, something magical begins…

Welcome to A.I. Cakes—that’s Absolutely Incredible Cakes—a famous little bakery in a small Ontario town. By day, it’s full of hungry customers and the sweet scent of frosting. But at night? Oh, that’s when the real fun begins!

As the moon rises, cakes come alive—leaping from their display cases and twirling onto the checkered floor. Under the sparkle of a disco ball and flashing spotlights, cupcakes, cheesecakes, Black Forest slices, and more turn the bakery into a wild, whirling ballroom.

Meet this zany gang of frosted, flaky, fabulous treats as they dance the night away doing the waltz, foxtrot, jive and Cha-Cha!

Full of energy, giggles, and sugary sparkle, Bakery Bop is a quirky, delicious romp for early readers—where bedtime means party time, and cake crumbs tell the story.

Key Features and Importance of an Author's Backlist



An author's backlist refers to the collection of books or works that the author has published in the past but are not their most recent or actively promoted releases. These works are often older but remain available for readers to purchase and enjoy.

Key Features of an Author's Backlist:

  • Past Publications: Includes all previously published titles, whether they are standalone books, series entries, or works in anthologies.
  • Diverse Stages of Career: It may include early works, mid-career books, or even well-established classics if the author is notable.
  • Sales Potential: A strong backlist can continue generating royalties for an author, especially if new readers discover their current works and seek out older ones.
  • Reissues and Updates: Backlist titles can sometimes be reissued with new covers, introductions, or revisions to rekindle interest.

Importance of an Author's Backlist:

  • Discoverability: New fans often explore an author’s backlist after enjoying their latest work.
  • Revenue: Even if backlist books don’t receive active promotion, they can provide a steady income stream.
  • Brand Building: A solid backlist enhances an author’s portfolio and establishes credibility in their genre or field.
  • Opportunity for Revival: Popularity in one title might prompt reprints or adaptations of older works.

For authors, a well-maintained backlist can be as important as new releases, helping to sustain their career over the long term.

Mailbox Flopsy, An Easter Poem for Children





"Mailbox Flopsy"

Beneath the boxes, in shadows deep,
Lives Flopsy, rabbit, a secret to keep.
With twitching nose and ears askew,
She waits for carrots, her favorite chew.

Amidst the hustle, the postal throng,
She bounces, she hops, a merry song.
In her cozy nook, she reigns with glee,
A carrot queen, wild and free.

With every passerby, a hopeful glance,
For carrots, her love, to get a chance.
And when they come, oh, what a sight!
Flopsy dances in the fading light.

In this quirky realm, where laughter reigns,
Flopsy's antics, joy sustains.
Under postal boxes, she holds her sway,
Forever charming, in her own funny way.
