Do you have some books in mind to read in the New Year? I have so many books on my Kindle to read that I will not finish them until March or April. I plan to read at least seven books a month or more. How many books do you read in a month?
I am currently working on a new children’s book with six stories in it for children ages 5-8. It will be about friends and family. As all my books for children, it will carry important life lessons about kindness, helping others in need and friends and family matter. Watch for this book coming by March or before.
I am also working on Book 4 of Gateskin Chronicles, a fantasy adventure with plenty of characters, creatures and surprises. If you haven’t read books 1-3, please do so before the next book comes out so that you will be up-to-date on what is happening in Noella Province with King Wizard Gateskin. It is an epic series with myriad characters, lands, happenings and magic.

FIVE STAR REVIEW FROM READERS’ FAVORITE BOOK AWARDS!
This is Book 1 of a fantasy series that will have six books in all. In this book learn about the three children of King Gateskin and his wife, Queen Solinara. The children have had powers since they were quite young..
Serena was three years old when she learned of her power to move objects with her mind. Her brother, Simon, can fly and their sister, Catalina, can become invisible or blend into her surroundings. They live with their parents in Sovorotskina, the Land of Light.
With these powers comes responsibility. The children must try to use their powers for the common good and responsibly to help others. The three children befriend a Sprite named Spindle who accompanies them on their adventure. Along the way they meet up with their aunt and uncle, their mother’s brother and his wife, Wizard Hotenfaran and Fairy Procelina. The group must travel into the evil land of Parotovina, Land of Darkness, to save King Gateskin, who was kidnapped, and also rescue some of the descendants of their friends and fellow Sovorotskinans who were captured and taken by the Evil Ones. These descendants have been waiting a long time to be free to return to the villages of their ancestors.
The children have many trials and adventures along the way. Will they be able to rescue their father and fellow Sovorotskinans without endangering their own lives? Will the evil King Kaposkaran and his Queen Beregina stop Serena and her siblings from being successful or will they turn Serena and her siblings to their dark ways?

MOM’S CHOICE AWARD WINNER – SILVER MEDAL!
This is a short story collection for children ages 5-8. They are perfect for bedtime or any time. They can be read by early readers or by a parent/guardian. They will provide a fun reading time for both the reader and the listener.
There are six stories with a colorful illustration of the characters of each story – one about an alien, a dragon, a fairy, a bear, a bear and a boy and a skunk. Each story will have life lessons for children to learn.
Once all the holidays are behind us we can relax and pick up a good book and read and not have to shop, bake or run around. I read no matter what I have to do. I always find time to read and relax. I hope you will too.
Did you know that reading is good for you? Reading is not only important for children but it’s also very important for adults. It not only increases your word vocabulary and stimulates your mind, but also gives you a feeling of wellbeing and promotes good health, dispels feelings of loneliness, improves your memory, promotes better patterns of sleep, and don’t forget – it brings families closer when they share and read books together.
Thank you for stopping by to read this post and for your continued support. Please remember to review books for all the hard-working authors out there in Amazon land who wait for any words from readers in order to keep motivated to write. When I receive a review I am thrilled and feel the motivation to write some more. Thank you.
Blessings & Hugs! Stay Safe, Stay Well and God Bless!

I have two books to read for the book club here – not particularly appealing though.
Some are better than others. I feel that way about my latest read. I will be sharing my December reads soon.
I was in our community’s book club a long time ago and left because I didn’t like their picks. I was too busy with my own books and kindle books to read. I’d rather choose my own reads. 📚🥳🎆 Happy New Year! 🎊
Given that there were only two books I really enjoyed of their picks this year, I’m not sure if I will continue.
