Last Day of 2009 update from Debbie Dunn


Debbie Dunn conducted her Be Bully Free program in a Georgia school and five East Tennessee schools since the school year began. She tells three stories to the whole school that teaches coping-with-bullies skills. The stories also focuses on the importance of practicing your talents and skills instead of bullying. This is followed by a 2-hour workshop with 49 target students who will put on the one-size fits all poncho costumes and perform a 7-act play for the entire school, parents, and press that afternoon. The play is called “No Bullies in the Kingdom.” Finally, the teachers are provided with a learning CD of all kinds of follow-up activities to continue to reinforce the concepts learned about victims of bullying, witnesses of bullying, and bullies. Debbie is willing to travel anywhere to conduct this program for negotiable rates. For more information, please visit http://moredunntales.com/id5.html

Debbie’s 2nd novel was published in December of 2009 called White Reindeer, Kudzu Monster, & Other Tales Of Wonder. For more information about this book, please visit http://askdjlyons.com. Her first novel called The Bell Witch Unveiled At Last! The True Story Of A Poltergeist was published in March 2008. For more information about this book, please visit http://bellwitchunveiled.com. Both books were written under her pen name of DJ Lyons.

My White Reindeer book soon to be published


Hey, Blog readers, I am so excited! My publisher finally came up with the book cover for my book that is soon to be published. My book, written under my pen name of DJ Lyons, is entitled White Reindeer, Kudzu Monster, & Other Tales of Wonder. I am very pleased with the cover they came up with.

I really did have a white reindeer show me the way to safety get down from a mountain that I sort of accidentally – on purpose climbed when I was 21 and on a college abroad in Norway. I was not able to get a picture of that very majestic reindeer that might have actually been an angel in disguise. When I knew I wanted to get this book published, I found a reindeer farm in Scotland that I contacted. They sold me this picture of a white reindeer named Dapple. They actually have reindeers that you can adopt/sponsor. Check out their website to find out more. Here’s the link to my page that links to their page: Adopt a Reindeer

My book is due to be published in the next few days. I am so excited! If you want more information, you can visit my white reindeer website.
