Harry Putter and the Chamber of Cheesecakes is a parody of J.K. Rowling''s "Harry Potter" series. It was originally written as a fun learning experience for the enjoyment of myself and my two sons. The three of us are all big Harry Potter fans. We are the architects for the storyline. We had such a fun time with our little project, and those who have read it have enjoyed it immensely, so we published it in an effort to share it with other fans. In this farce the Harry Potter characters, places, and past events have been twisted around with devilish wit. The story follows the adventures of Harry Putter, Ron Cheesley, and Hermione Stranger in their sixth year at school, seventh if you count preschool. While some of the encounters are spoofs reminiscent of the original tales, others are new, keeping the storyline fresh and unpredictable.  (details...)

Just One More Book is a thrice-weekly podcast in which we take a few minutes out of our morning coffee ritual to discuss one of our many favourite children's books. Through this podcast and its website, we are building a lively, interactive community linking children's book authors, illustrators, readers (parents and children) and publishers. Episodes range in length from 5 to 35minutes and can be played directly from our web page or downloaded to an ipod for listening on the go. Each episode is an informal discussion of one of our family's favourite children's books. We also feature interviews with authors, literacy related discussions or audio reviews submitted by our listeners. This podcast is powered by passion. We have no advertisers or sponsors. Our goal is to link children with great books and help create happy memories for children and the adults that read to them…and to have fun!
