Reading is so much fun! I can’t read enough every day. It fills my mind with wonder when I read fantasy, makes me think when I read mysteries or thought-provoking stories, gives me nightmares when I read something scary or joy when I read something spiritual!

Abby & Holly Series provides more fun and ghostly adventures with cousins, Abby & Holly, as they discover things in their old Victorian and go back to the past to solve mysteries. There are ghosts, a haunted house, time travel, mysteries, and magic. Life lessons will also be learned about friendship, family, respect, love and caring for one another, and bullying will never be accepted or tolerated! MG/PT/YA will be hooked and parents will feel good about the quality of books their children are reading! Adults are reading and enjoying them also!

MG/PT/YA books are available on Amazon and Barnes & Noble.

Series for middle-graders/preteens – Davey & Derek Junior Detectives and Abby & Holly. These two series are award-winning with multiple awards and have six books in each series. All books are stand-alone stories.

All my books for MG/PT carry life lessons that I hope kids will remember and carry with them for a lifetime, e.g., friendship is important, family matters, bullying is never accepted or tolerated, be respectful of elders, be kind to others in need, lend a helping hand to others and show kindness at all times.

These books are for MG/PT:

Ring in the New Year and make it special with an entertaining book from JemsBooks! I love opening a new book on my Kindle. But it is also exciting to open a paperback and feel the texture of each page as you discover what is hidden under its cover. It’s like opening a new world of ideas, places, characters and happenings. Just saying this makes me want to go back to my TBR list and choose another book to read. I LOVE READING!! Do you?
