Hi! I’m Anna, and I’m a city girl turned modern homesteader who’s passionate about growing, cooking and preserving real food at home, creating my own herbal medicine and all-natural home and body care products, and working toward a simpler, more sustainable and self-sufficient life each and every day. And I’m equally passionate about helping others do the same. Why, you ask? Because I believe we can change the world through homesteading!

My name is David R. Rivers, and I just recently came across the magazine. I love it! and will be following. I also wanted to let you know I have a couple of new books out on Amazon worldwide that I think would be great for Homeschool Mamas and Children. I am a Homesteader, Executive Chef, and Author and I have enjoyed the lifestyle for many years-so I just had to write about it.
They are : (Amazon)
"The Clucking Avengers:A Chicken Superhero Storybook" (an interactive learning book)
and "Bristol Kitty's Big Adventures: On the Farm" -(a Choose your own path book)

These stories are based on the animals at my place.
If interested, I can send a copy of both of my books for you to review and maybe advertise in the magazine or in a blog post? I'm just a regular guy that likes to write and I'm hoping that my books will inspire Homesteaders to Homeschool their children somewhere.
If interested, please let me know.
I look forward to your response,
David R. Rivers
