I am readying my latest children’s book for publication. I will be sharing the cover soon. I plan to publish it on March 1, 2025. Watch for this new book from Jems Books.
In between publishing this children’s book, I am working on book 4 of my fantasy series, Gateskin Chronicles. I have completed ten chapters so far and going strong. The adventures are continuing!

As I have mentioned multiple times here, I am a pantser. Writing in this way is like going on a journey and not knowing where the journey is going or how it will end until it does. It is exhilarating to take a trip in this way to a strange land with unusual characters, dragons, magic and mayhem at every turn.
Once I put my fingers on the keys of my laptop the magic begins. I am lost once again in the mystique of Noella Province with King Gateskin at the helm as he protects his family, animals, people and land.
There will be two more books written in this six-book series next year or sooner. It takes a great deal of work to complete just one book in this series. I am keeping notes about what my muse is creating for fear of forgetting who is who, what is what or where is where. I provide a comprehensive list at the front of each book for readers to refer back to, if needed. Not all of the characters from previous books will appear again or if they do, it will be briefly. I will introduce a few more from time to time but not too many so far from the other books. It can be confusing for me too to keep track of them all.
It is strange that I can pick up where I left off even if I haven’t written this series for months. I depend upon King Gateskin to remind me where I left off and also look over the chapter notes that I type up after I complete each chapter. My mind somehow goes back into the land of Noella Province and the village of Sovorotskina.

BOOK EXCELLENCE AWARD WINNER – FINALIST!
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?
If you haven’t begun this series, now is the time to check it out before the next installment comes this summer or early fall. I will do my best to get it ready by then, fingers crossed. Life has a habit of getting in the way of my writing from time to time.

Congratulations on the progress, Janice! I, too, am a pantser. I’ve tried to outline and it’s just simply not in me. I don’t have enough patience for it. I have a saying posted next to my computer that says, “Writing a novel is like driving a car at night. You can only see as far as your headlights, but you can make the whole trip that way.” Yep!
Exactly! That’s how I feel! It does work! 🥰
Keeping you busy in the snow! I just started my next Rhe mystery. Not sure where it’s going to go yet.
Go girlfriend! 🥰
