Books with author Melissa Bailey

When Talia Green answers a Craig’s List ad to work for the faux-fat former police detective, Porter Nepal, she assumes she’ll be a glorified errand girl … but she soon finds her duties include making coffee, tailing suspects, and solving the biggest murder mystery San Francisco has ever seen: beloved rock star Buster Bones, found strangled in his recording studio. And the prime suspect is Buster’s foul-mouthed wife-and-muse Minnie … Throw in a two-timing three-way polygamist, a music mogul with incredible partying skills, a wild child pop-star with an embarrassingly mundane secret, a gay surf gang and the Pacific Ocean, and you have a rollercoaster ride guaranteed to keep you entertained from the Presidio to Daly City and back!

Jeremiah the Squirrel! is a book about a little squirrel that lives in a park. Across the road there is a different kind of park. There are different animals that live in this other park. Jeremiah is scared to go over because he is afraid those animals will hurt him. Then he has to go across the road to the different park. He then realizes that the other park isn't that bad or scary at all and he meets some nice animals along his adventure. About the Author Alissa Taylor Bailey thought that she would give the reader a children's book that is about two different worlds that are only across the road from each other. One side of the road has a little squirrel that is scared to go out into the outside world, but realizes that the world doesn't have to be scary as long as you have people that are willing to be friends - even if they are different. Alissa is a new author, but she has always liked to write. Also, she wants to get the message to the world that just because God makes everyone different does not mean we have to dislike each other. Children have always been an important part of Alissa's life and she thought that writing a book could catch their attention and teach them that people can get along no matter what they look like. Come join Jeremiah on his adventure to the other side of diversity and friendship and escape all the chaos of the world into a fun and happy place for you and your child.

AUTHOR'S NOTE: According to Shrek, ogres--like onions, have many layers. Well, so does this story. Layer one is the frustrating mommy mode moment that morphed into Facebook comic relief. Yep, right there in the middle of social media cyber space, a children's book idea was born! Layer two is the story itself; a silly mommy misadventure with a rice cake. It's fun. It's whimsical. It's benign. And it took just a couple of months to put it all together. Layer three is a little more complicated. It requires some backstory. The back story… My daughter often cried when I wasn't home as she got off the school bus. It made me reflect upon what I did during the day. I discovered that my priorities were off balance and I searched for a way make things right, to apologize. The middle of this story evolved into an explanation of what kept me so busy during my children’s school day. It also shows my unyielding efforts to get home first. After this book was finished (2011), it sat gathering dust while I had a showdown with my pride. That's when I realized that the explanations for my busyness were more excuse than anything else. Eventually, I cut out the excess by quitting my part-time job and finishing graduate school once and for all. Finally, after another year of experimenting, journaling and praying; the decision to homeschool resurfaced (the first surface is another story). This became the completion of one evolution...and start of another layer. Long story short, there is a cyclical affect a parent's actions have on both self and child. When I peeled back my layers of parental consciousness, I found leaks in the foundation. I also found an evolutionary next step toward authenticity...which revealed more leaks, which...well, you get the picture!
