Keep Your Head Down (ePub)

This is my first picture book. This book, Keep Your Head Down, A Book about Golf Terminology, is the first of a series entitled I Only Like Sports. Books will follow on the sports of soccer, baseball, football and basketball. I published the non-fiction book, Under the Sun: A Look at Solomon, Ecclesiastes and Our Faith, in 2012.

In 2011, I retired from thirty-four years of teaching in the public schools of Florida. During the thirty-four years, I served as a teacher and media specialist at all grade levels. I have also worked as an adjunct at North Florida Community College in Madison, Florida and Flagler College in St. Augustine, Florida. My husband and I reside in our country home on the banks of the Suwannee River in North Central Florida. We have two sons and five grandchildren.


In this picture book, Eagle finds a way to become a hero that pleases his family. Eagle has a big brother named Birdie and a baby brother named Albatross. . Eagles Dad is Daddy Bogey; the mother is Mama Double Bogey; and the teacher is Miss Green. A family tree with given names has been included for use as inside back and front covers.

The story is narrated in the first person with Eagle reflecting with the reader and his family.

Keep Your Head Down: A Book about Golf Terminology is the first of a fun series of books, I Only Like Sports, with characters and storyline involved in a specific sport. Terminology for that sport is used throughout the storyline. At the end of the story, a golf-term glossary is included. Each book in the series has a fictional storyline where a specific scripture verse from the Bible is applied in an everyday situation.
