Dr. Walter Dean

Author and Mentor Extraordinaire

Dr. Walter Dean is one amazing man. I met Dr. Dean at Dutch Fork Elementary School, where I am the media specialist. I was in the main office one day, and Dr. Dean came by the school to check on his grandson, Boston. The secretary, Ann Newman, introduced me to Dr. Dean.  Ann is aware of my passion for books, and meeting an children's book author was a dream. Dr. Dean and I began to talk about his writing, and I shared my love for the craft as well. I went on to tell him I had written a manuscript that I thought was so fun, and I had sent it to several publishers, but hadn't heard any news. He asked if he could read my manuscript, and I very happily shared it with him.
Dr. Dean shared my manuscript with his publisher, and I soon received a call from Ken Wormack, of C & K Publishing Company. 
Dr. Dean has continued to mentor me through this entire adventure. He advises, and supports me.  I can't thank Dr. Dean enough for everything he has done! He has a heart of gold, and I will always admire him, his work, and the continued mentoring.
Big hugs!
