Welcome Readers, Writers, and Moms!

It’s great to have you come by for a visit. I hope you’ll feel nice and cozy here in my little nook on the internet.

Who am I?

My name is Nicol Valentin and I’m a homeschooling writer mom of 10. I’ve been teaching kids how to write for 25 years and writing my own stories and online articles for the last five.

Look out for great resources for moms and students alike

I have some magnificent things planned, like fun writing activities as well as information that will help make things easier for teaching moms. If you’re not a homeschooler, no sweat. Any parent can help develop a love of reading and writing in their children.

Why not spend some time with my characters?

I can’t wait to introduce you to wild and crazy guys that live in my imagination. There’s Guido Broccolino and his looney brother  Zanobi. Oh, and I can’t forget to mention their best Francesco Rapini. That would be rude.

You’ll also meet the suave and debonair pig Magnus Swinsley and his assistant Pigkin. Quite the fine English gentlemen, those too. I’ve already spoken with Swinsley, and he has agreed to do an exclusive interview! Pigkin is a little shy, but I might persuaded him to tag along as well.

Don’t forget to download your free story while you’re here

It’s about my cute little mascot pig up there on the header. His name is Wooster, and he has quite an interesting story about how he got those nice wings of his. I don’t want to give anything away, but it involves a fairy and a nasty giant. The great thing is, when you download it, you’ll automatically be put on my mailing list. This way you won’t miss a thing. (And who wants to miss the opportunity to have their writing showcased AND free stuff!) We’re going to have lots of fun, so thanks for stopping by and be sure to come back soon!
