I have been busy the past few months working on two new books, one for children – Book 1 of a Dragon series for PS-Grade 3, and Book 4 of Abby & Holly Series. My husband, John, has been completing the illustrations on the dragon series while I worked on Book 4. Then we came together to complete the editing phase of the dragon book until we got it just right.
I will be doing a Dragon cover reveal soon. In the meantime I need to finish up Book 4 and and send it along to my beta readers and hope to have both books ready for publication in February.
The dragon series will carry life lessons that will teach children to be kind, caring and sensitive to others’ feelings and that it’s okay to be different.
Here are the first three books in this award-winning series. Each book is a stand alone story. They have won three Pinnacle Book Achievement Awards and one Readers’ Favorite Book Award. They carry life lessons for MG/PT/YA such as be kind to others, respect elders and each other, love one another, accept differences, bullying is never accepted or tolerated, friends and family are important.
Here are two gifs I created with AllAuthor.com for Book 1. Abby & Holly is a fun series for both girls and boys. Check out all the wonderful reviews on Amazon.
Thank you for stopping by to read this post. I hope you will check out the Abby & Holly Series and introduce your MG/PT/YA to these award-winning books. Thank you for your support and for any reviews that you post on Amazon.
