I want to wish all my readers, followers and dear friends who have supported me in 2015 a wonderful New Year filled with love, promise, hope and prosperity! Thank you!
My Accomplishments:
In 2015 I published two children’s books, two middle-grade books, read and reviewed 138 books, edited several other books and supported a multitude of fellow authors on my blog and different social media.
My Goals:
In 2016 I plan to publish two children’s books, a mystery/romance/paranormal novel, book 3 of Davey & Derek series and begin writing a middle-grade series for girls and edit another novel and write some short stories to put into a collection for a future book. I will give myself another goal of reading and reviewing 125 books on Goodreads.
With your kind support and readership I hope to complete and surpass these goals.
If you read any Jemsbooks a review would be greatly appreciated! It would be like giving me the best gift that an author could have.
Thank you!
Blessings & love to all!
-Janice-
