Occasionally I get asked how I created the titles for my 23 chapters in My Fuzzy's World. Most people don't believe me when I mention proudly that they just came to my mind one day. Actually-this is a true story. When I first started to create the story My Fuzzy's World in my imagination I could also visualize my chapters and illustrations. I simply had an outline for my story which I then slowly built on continuously.
Most of the chapter names originated from the names I have given to my beloved plush animals. I wanted my story to be inspirational and magical for young readers. Because I already had the creative idea for my story I didn't worry about the titles of my chapters. I felt confident that one day the chapter titles would present themselves to me and so it happened. I rather focused on my goal to write and illustrate a very unique children's book and believed in my creative talent. I am proud of what I have created!
I strongly believe as a writer that once you can imagine your story the idea title or the chapter titles will naturally appear once the story unfolds.
Here are the chapters of My Fuzzy's World:
1. My Special World
2. The End of My Very Long Journey
3. The Place I Proudly Call My Home
4. Rudi, the Purple Bear
5. A Guiding Light
6. Lily, the Lilac Lamb
7. Sophie, the Sumatran Tiger
8. A New Sense of Adventure
9. Marli, the Polite Little Brown Bear
10. Where Is Maya?
11. Robby, the Little Seal Who Gets Lost
12. Uncle Maurice
13. Lulu, the Pink Sheep
14. Maya’s Arrival
15. Awaiting Fuzzinette
16. Booboo Leo
17. Secrets of My Friendships

How My Fuzzy’s World came to life
One day some years ago a charming young man gave me a very unique little plush lion as a gift of love and friendship. I began to truly treasure my new little friend who quickly became my beloved companion.
Some might think that plush animals are only children’s treasured friends and once they grow up these dearly loved ones are put or given away. That might be true for some people. You see, I didn’t feel too old to have a plush companion as a grown up. In my big heart there is lots of space for unique people and also plush friends.
My dearly beloved Fuzzy left a big foot print in my heart for ever. And so did the charming young man who once gifted me this adorable little friend. I began to build a delightful imaginary world for my adored Fuzzy. He soon became a big part of my happy life. With time my plush friend family began to expand and so did my joyful imagination about my beloved plush friends. I began to dream about writing a children’s book for young readers featuring all my adored plush friends and their unique imaginary lives which I created out of love and fun. Then I began to draw my plush friends and somehow discovered quickly how well they looked like the real plush ones. That’s how my dream became a very ambitious goal. I then worked very hard to bring my story and all the characters to life in my book.
If you like to find out why Fuzzy is so unique and how he got his name you might want to buy my children’s book on Amazon. You might find that you might be charmed with my story of how my dear Fuzzy and his loving plush friends learn about the essence of friendship, love, family and diversity. It is written and illustrated for ages 4-8. Maybe you might like to gift this book to someone special in your life. I invite you to visit my website www.myfuzzysworld.com.

Writing for Children-My True Passion!
Writing and Illustrating for Young Readers
I recently rediscovered my passion for writing and illustrating for children and it has taken me on a magical journey! That's when I started to work on my dream book project "My Fuzzy's World" in fall of 2009.
Today I can proudly say that I have fully accomplished my dream of writing and illustrating my first children's book through passion, determination and hard work. My book is available on Amazon!
Finding your true passion is a long time journey of courage, determination and exploration on what makes one filled with true happiness and joy.
Although I have found some fulfilment in my original medical-technical career and also enjoyed working in the Tourism Industry after going back to school to earn a second college degree, I never been happier now writing and drawing for children.
It has been a great learning experience to explore the writing, publishing and book marketing process. Now I am looking forward for young readers to discover the magic of "My Fuzzy's World" and be inspired to embrace the important values of family, friendship, love, courage and diversity. My goal is to inspire children to create their own colorful dreams to come true!
I welcome any comments, feedback and questions.
