Newsletter – Jemsbooks for all ages – for January through August of 2020!
Here is what happened so far in 2020!
This newsletter is a way to let you know what’s new to Jemsbooks.
This year began with a virus – COVID-19 in China which spread to US and the rest of the world. It has caused our world to shut down and keep everyone in their homes for fear of catching this deadly virus which has taken too many lives all over the world.
This is a time for all to hunker down and stay safe and well until this passes and stops infecting anyone else.
Janice has kept very busy writing, reading, blogging, editing and promoting her books. She continues to do this daily to provide you and your family with fun, creative and entertaining reading for all ages.
Please stay safe and well in your homes and keep your children busy with reading and their school work to encourage their minds to be creative and healthy.
I pray that you will all stay well and keep positive. This will be over soon and life will go back to almost normal. We have learned a lot from this virus especially how to wash our hands and stay away from crowds.
This has been a busy year for Jemsbooks. Janice has published six books, exceeding her goal of publishing four books in 2020. Also, her books won four book awards.
Book 6 of Davey & Derek Junior Detectives, The Case of the Mystery of the Bells won a Book Excellence Award Finalist in January of 2020.
This new book has plenty of magic, mystery and fun for boys and girls to enjoy.
All covers and illustrations were done by Janice’s husband, John. He continues to create beautiful illustration and covers that bring Janice’s stories to life.
In February of 2020 she published Drystan the Dragon and Friends Series Book 1: Drystan and Durward Save the Day, a book for young children PS-Grade 3.
This series is an educational and magical, mystical series of six books. Two are to be published each year for a few years.
The Dragons have names that begin with the letter ‘D’ and are of different brilliant colors. Children will learn the letter ‘D’ and colors while they read these fun and comical adventures. Each book, as all Jemsbooks for children, carry life lessons that will encourage children to be kind, caring and respectful to others, friends are important and it’s okay to be different.
