Illus. in full color. "Kangaroo child Norma Jean loves to jump. The problem is that her jumping gets out of hand, causing accidents and some ruffled feelings among her friends, and Norma stops her jumping entirely. But when the school's field-day games come up, Norma Jean is coaxed back into action long enough to win ribbons. Light, popular fare for beginning readers."--Booklist.
Norma Jean's Sun Memoir ( Based on a True Story ) "A Wonderful commentary on the very things that make us all human""Brave honesty of confession, makes the book unique""Touching story, full of hope"The story is not only convincingly true, but will rivet the reader with its genuine and unassuming pathos. It is this kind of brave honesty of confession and growing philosophy that makes the book unique.Miraculous tale of how a boy, born into unimaginable physical and emotional pain and destined to be a misfit, finds his way in a world of "others." Few could survive so many torturous years of surgical intervention and a ensuing lifelong struggle with drugs and alcohol addiction and come out ahead. This moving tale reveals not only the struggle and heartrending elements of generational lives "gone wrong," but also the love and growth of a human being overcoming the odds and determined to find a way to live life to the fullest. Based on a true story, the author's unapologetic prose prompts enduring ethical questions and makes a gripping, personal read.Norma Jean's Sun is painfully reflective yet ultimately hopeful, a story told through the eyes of a boy who believes he has been mistakenly born into the world and a man who conquers physical and emotional injustice--and thrives. The reader will be challenged to answer the difficult questions of right and wrong as they may apply to his or her own life. It is clear that it is the hope of this author that the reader's conclusions will lead to a more fulfilled view of the "parallel beauty that lives just beneath the surface for us all."

It's the mid 1960's on the central Alberta Prairies. The Nielsen Family's summer cabin becomes a place of historical mystery and farm-kid play. Chicory coffee, Cajun omens, French riddles, and coondogs...all these things and more, arrive the summer Gypsy comes to visit. Norma Jean, her brother Howard, and Gyp, spend the summer in the rustic cabin that is on the lake property, just down the laneway from the big cabin. The kids discover that the family's Cajun roots are alive and well when an ancient riddle is found in a dusty French Bible, hidden in plain view. They find a clue when they row the new Western Red Cedar boat through a reed covered cove and find a message, left by an unknown Cajun uncle. Norma Jean gets her notebook out, once again, and deduces the mystery-clue by clue. Norma Jean and the Mystery of the Gypsy Summer is the second in a series of Middle Grade Canadian Historical Fiction novels.

It's been a full summer at the Nielsen family grain farm, in central Alberta, Canada. Swathing has finally began and the farm is in the full-swing of harvest. Twelve-year-old Norma Jean, and her eleven-year-old brother, Howard, discover a stranger has been coming into their close-knit farm community and stealing purple gas. Little do they know that the thief has deeper, more sinister motives that have to do with an old man, a dark and dank school house basement, and a British Home Child's travel trunk. When Violet, with her strong British Cockney accent, comes as a domestic helper to the farm next door, the children befriend her and discover a world of Canadian secrets, stories, and mysteries. Together, they solve the riddle of the hidden Barnardo Home Child trunk and learn about the thousands of children that immigrated from England to Canada to work on farms, and as domestic servants. Using their notebook to keep track of clues, Norma Jean and Howard help to bring happiness and closure to a sad chapter of an old man's life.
Marilyn Monroe remains the most provocative female legend of the twentieth century. What you may have known about her before was only the tip of the iceberg. For twenty years, the men and women who knew Marilyn best saw what they knew suppressed because certain important people were still living, and the tenor of the times prohibited frankness. Instead, rumors ballooned. This book finally sets the record straight. Fred Guiles—whom Norman Mailer acknowledges as the chief source of fact about Marilyn—has written the life behind the legend. He reveals what really happened in the careening career of the pretty waif named Norma Jean Mortensen, who married the boy next door, became a model, an actress, movie star, married an incompatible legend named Joe DiMaggio, sought to improve the mind that came with her near-perfect body, married playwright Arthur Miller, lent herself to the Svengalilike ministrations of Paula and Lee Strasberg, became the mistress of John and then Robert Kennedy when they ran the country, kept camera crews and studios waiting—but not death, which took her under the most unusual circumstances by the age of thirty-six. A legend, by definition, is unaltered by fact, but the enthralled reader will find the revelations in this book no deterrent to the love of Marilyn Monroe by understanding at last what happened to the Queen of Need. Among the people interviewed for this book are Arthur Miller; James E. Dougherty, her first husband; Frank Taylor, the producer of The Misfits; Lee Strasberg; Otto Preminger; Billy Wilder; Joshua Logan and John Huston.

A writing workbook such as this is the kind of thing that this Teacher-Mum was looking for...kinda fun, creative, and most of all...IT WORKS This STORYBOARD method, for Middle Grade, is quite truly how our first book, Norma Jean and the Mystery of the Suitcase in the Ditch was written...except we didn't use the dining room table or the kitchen counter, no...WHAT'S THE FUN IN THAT? We stuck our sticky notes with relish and abandonment across the top of one of those fabulous pieces of cardboard that Costco places between their stacks of toilet paper. We organized the book, then we went to the washroom and said, "It is well with my soul...and the book is awesome." So, now...after all these years, and after working many years as a Court Recorder for the Feds (someone had to pay for their education ) this Teacher-Mum finally has time to get 'er done. And done it is.
