A Haunting Birthday Party - Paperback

by Tina Nykulak Ruiz (Author), Ishika Sharma (Illustrator)

This story is about Peppa Roni and her twin brother, Reece A. Roni, who are having their 9th birthday party in the neighbourhood restaurant. What makes this story different from any other children's book, are the names which the author has given to her characters. Example: Tess Ding, Chris P. Bacon, Mr. Noah Lott, Harry Pitts, Miss Turi, Walter Melon, Judge Mental and his wife, Judy, etc...

The storyline is quite charming, and because you will be trying to figure out the double meaning of the names while you're reading, this will end up becoming your child's favorite book ever.

Tina Nykulak Ruiz has written 30 children's books, and uses a pen name (Tina Griffith) for her 12 romance novels.

Author Biography

Tina has been writing children's stories since the mid-80's, and while most of them have gone into readers for the Canada Board of Education, the rest have gone into book stores and libraries. After her husband of 25 years passed away, she journaled as a way to heal her broken heart. A friend of hers read her scribbled notes, and because she loved what Tina had written, she sent the story to Authorhouse to get published. Tina has since written 11 more romance novels, and since she has taken quite a few writing courses throughout the years, her writing has improved tenfold since 2006.

She is now the grandmother of 8 and a great grama of 2. She is a Caring Clown for the Calgary Children's Hospital and has volunteered her time to various charities for the past 22 years. Other than writing, she loves to learn languages, and she can now speak German, Italian, Spanish, and French, other than English.
