Undersea Fact:

Sailors and other mariners have reported that the ocean often emits a visible glow, or luminescence, which extends for miles at night. In 2005, scientists announced that for the first time, they had obtained photographic evidence of this glow. It may be caused by bioluminescence.

Below the Waves Reviewed on My Springfield Mommy.com


Margie Brill of My Springfield Mommy.com was nice enough to do a review of Below the Waves on her blog.


Here's some of what she had to say about the book:
"My daughter loves Below the Waves, Timmy's Quest. The story is simple and understandable and is one you can feel safe reading to your child. The images follow the story, so children who may not yet know how to read will be able to follow the story with or without you there to help."


I am also doing a give away with Margie's site. One lucky reader will receive a free copy of Timmy's Quest.
Please visit her site to read the rest of the article and rules how to enter the contest. The giveaway runs until October 26, 2010.

Undersea fact:

Did you know an octopus can squirt a cloud of ink as a distraction to escape from predators?

In my story, Timmy uses this ability to make a run from a pair of bullying sharks.
