This year 2017 has flown by like all the days appear to as I grow older. Today is my granddaughter’s birthday! She is eight years old and the only granddaughter I have. She is a treasure as are all my grandchildren ( four wonderful boys and one lovely girl).

A couple more things to share from 2017 before it comes to a close!

I was thrilled to find out that I won a Pinnacle Book Achievement Award yesterday (December 29th) for Book 5, Davey & Derek Junior Detectives Series, The Case of the Sad Mischievous Ghost! Book 5 now joins book 1, 2, 3 with this award. Thank you Pinnacle for this honor!

I also wanted to share a photo of my beautiful niece, Laura, (my brother’s daughter) with her copy of the new edition of Hunting Mariah with her on the cover. John and I will be working on a cover for Book 2 this coming month.

She is preparing for the cover with her many facial expressions for Mariah!

Thank you, Laura, for posing for me! Much love and appreciation!

I am still working on my reading to get up to my Goodreads Challenge of 110 books. I am now up to almost 103 for this year. My challenge next year will be much lower due to hopefully publishing 4-5 books which will keep me extremely busy. Maybe I will be able to read 95 books! LOL! My Kindle app and Nook are bursting at the seams. They keep calling out to me – Read Me, Read Me!

Wishing everyone a wonderful New Year with lots of blessings – love, joy, good health, peace, and many successes! May all your dreams become reality! 🍾 🎉 🎊
