It's all recently gone to the dogs, as Chrysa's joy of turning a good phrase merged with her desire to see a little fun in most everything, resulting in her award-winning children's series The Adventures of the Poodle Posse series. She has been a featured author at the Pennsylvania School Library Association Conference, a speaker at the Keystone State Reading Association Conference and a participant at the New Jersey Association of School Librarians. Chrysa is a member Society of Children’s Book Writers & Illustrators.

Awards Two Mom's Choice Awards Read Reviews
The Adventures of the Poodle Posse is a fiction series for young readers; a unique format of two short illustrated stories in one book, that serves as a stepping-stone into chapter books. Follow the funny tales of a growing posse of mini poodles whose adventures keep their loving owner, Mrs. Flout, on her toes, spun around and baffled—while teaching lessons about life and love along the way. The lessons of the first two stories include sharing and caring about others, as told through the loving eyes of some furry friends. Book #2, The Princess and the Frenchmen/No Dogs Allowed! offers lessons of acceptance, standing up for what is right and resetting your sails when the wind is blowing in the wrong direction. Current reviews, excerpts, writing prompts, blogs, trivia, work philosophy, calendar and more can be found on WellBredBook.net. |
