Hi everyone! I have to apologize for not posting lately. There have been many family commitments that have kept me too busy to blog or work on my novel and children’s books. Family always comes first!
I hope to get back to writing by the middle of next week. My new books are a work in progress!
Remember: Reading Gives You Wings to Fly!
If you have some time please check out http://Jemsbooks.com for books for all ages. Children’s books in rhyme with life lessons, fun animal adventures without anything frightening for young children. Award-winning children’s book, Lamby the Lonely Lamb, is a wonderful example of the life lessons in Jemsbooks. 
In Lamby children learn that it is okay to be different and that you should be tolerant and accept differences in others.


The MG (middle-grade) detective series is a fun adventure/mystery series, Davey & Derek Junior Detectives, with important life lessons about friendship, family relationships, bullying and honesty.
There is even a mystery/thriller novel for you parents. Check out the 12 5-star reviews received on Amazon for Hunting Mariah.

Thank you for stopping by! Always nice to see you! Have you read and reviewed a good book lately? Love to receive some reviews! Let me know if you review one of my books. I will post some here!
Hope you have a lovely weekend!
Blessings!
-Janice-
