About Me and My Book:
I am the president of Playdate Kids Publishing. Prior to publishing, I spent over twenty years of creative management and entertainment production, contributing to the success of global commercials and showcased music videos on top networks including MTV, VH1, FUSE, as well as premiere international stations around the world.

It was my interest in children that made my new endeavor an obvious next step in my career. As publisher of Playdate Kids Publishing, I created a new series of children’s books under the name The Playdate Kids. This series of books for young children between the ages of 3-6, deals with emotional and social situations that children encounter in their young lives. The stories help provide adults with the tools they need to help children understand and cope with each situation.

I am also involved with Malibu Global Awareness—a fundraiser for Doctors Without Borders (an international independent medical humanitarian organization that delivers emergency aid to people affected by armed conflict, epidemics, natural or man-made disasters, or excluded from health care in over 70 countries). Over the past several years, I have successfully raised hundreds of thousands of dollars for the charity.

I hope my expansion into children’s book publishing will bring excitement and flair to the world of children’s entertainment. In addition to the book series, I plan to publish more DVDs, workbooks and other outstanding children’s products.

Hi Tena

It looks like you might be able to either profit by or contribute to my new Self Publishing group here on BMN.
Please take a look, we're trying to build it into a resource for writers who prefer to be their own publisher.

Hi Tena,

I wanted to personally invite you to my Children's Writers... Illustrators... & Publishers network at http://childrensbookwinp.ning.com/

I did send out invites to my friends, but I wanted to ask you myself, since I am seeing a lot of writers who are just waiting to be talking to a publisher and only a few are in the group so far (2 or 3).

Believe it or not, Tena. I've put out feelers to my network, but have not come up with anything solid. Everyone seems to be pulling in due to cut budgets.

I wish you all the best, Tena.

I send you greetings of peace and love from the rest of the family. They, like I, are always with you and never leave or forsake you. The angels and the rest of us want you to know how precious you are to us.

When I agreed to give up my divinity and be born in the flesh, I did so very willingly. I looked forward to the time when we, you and us, could all be together and share in everything that is. I looked forward to loving you, hugging you, comforting you and encouraging you so that, when your life gets tough, you will feel secure and supported enough to face whatever you have to face. I looked forward to being the one you could rely upon unconditionally for that strength, comfort and encouragement whenever and however you need it.

Not only that, I looked forward to sharing with you that we created you to love you, and that we so hoped and desired that you would love us back. We want you in our life, and we love it when you want us in yours. It was so exciting when I could turn to my disciples and expand our relationship to include friendship and true fellowship. I offer that friendship and fellowship to you today as well, and I look forward to your inviting me into your life in that way.

You can see there are many reasons why I came in the flesh so many years ago. There’s more! I also wanted to set you free from thoughts and behaviors that hurt you emotionally and spiritually. If you were hurt by people or experienced hard times in your life and lost things like your health, relationships, or your way of life because of disaster or unemployment, I wanted to give you the tips and tools as well as the encouragement to recover emotionally and spiritually from who or what hurt you so you could have the kind of life I want you to enjoy.

Most of you understand why I sacrificed my life for you and what an act of love that was. It is my hope that this letter will help you understand how very much more my life and ministry were to accomplish. I look forward to expanding our relationship now and forever.

Joyfully, Jesus

Love is when the heart loses its mind.

To love and be loved is to feel the sunshine from both sides.

In a civilization when love is
gone we turn to justice and when
justice is gone we turn to power
and when power is gone we
turn to violence.

Love is not always power; that may be as
good a description of the human predicament
as we are likely to get.

Remember the many
compartments of the heart,
the seed of what is
possible. So much of who
we are is defined by
the places we hold for each
other. For it is not our ingenuity
that sets us apart, but our
capacity for love, the
possibility our way will
be lit by grace. Our hearts
prisms, chiseling out the
colors of pure light.

Here’s to the fun of where the sum of us is greater than apart.

~ Kare

Hi Tena,

Thank you for your compliment; I'm glad you find the site useful. No, I don't have any knowledge about Myspace's relationship with children books. If you look in the featured books section on Author Promotion you will see two children books by Award-winning author Stacey Kannenberg. I'm not sure if she knows, but she would be a good person to ask.

Btw, your bio is quite impressive. I look forward to networking with you.
