The Eight in our series spotlighting authors who have contributed to our current collection. Our collection, this time around is Springtime Bullies.
Peacock Writers donate their time and stories willingly to benefit charity. A different theme is picked each time and authors invited to join in. Robynn talks about her reasons for doing this.
Growing up in a parochial school, I experienced bullying first hand. I remember wondering how even though we were taught to love one another, obviously the bullies weren't paying much attention to the lessons.
During raising five children, I faced the issue again when they would come home with stories of bullies they encountered. I had to come up with some sort of direction with them, so I taught them to respect and love, even a bully.
But then the sixteen grandkids came along and I found that I had a bully amongst them. By then, after the last child had left home, I was finally able to do something I had longed to do for years, write. Many times I was asked for stories from the grandkids, so I started incorporating their personal traits into stories that would help them with their particular problem.
When Peacock Writers started thinking about a book on bullies, I realized my story on a grandchild who had to learn a lesson about not being a bully, would fit in well.
Our children learn so much in the growing up years and stories are a great way to impress little minds. I feel very honored to have been included with such great writers as my cohorts. .
