Aronka Schultz has published her first children's book, "A Dinosaur on the Loose." Schultz grew up in Cape Girardeau and, after a few years in Las Vegas, now lives in St. Louis. "A Dinosaur on the Loose" is a silly story about a 4-year-old named Luke who's haunted by the threat of a dinosaur attack if he doesn't listen to his parents. This is Schultz's first book and is available for $9.99 at www.authorhouse.com, www.amazon.com and www.barnesandnoble.com. She is also interested in having sales of her book benefit local elementary schools. For more information on that program, contact Schultz at 702-371-0743 or aronka@dinoontheloose.com.
