Happy New Book!

Those are my author proof copies. That’s why there is a grey bar across the front. I made some changes and then…I published the ebook, paperback and hardback versions of 1500 Writing Prompts for Kids!

This is the first hardback I’ve ever published. It was exciting holding it for the first time. The book cover designer did such a great job. It was hard work, but we got there in the end.

For now, the paperback and hardback versions are only available from Amazon. In a few weeks, the paperback will be available to buy and borrow through other retailers and libraries.

What will I do now?

Now I’ll return to the ten other books I have planned: Five Christian children’s books and five D-Twins reboot stories. The D-Twins books will also have some Christianity in there, but will mostly be action-packed horror stories.

I decided to keep the original D-Twins stories up so people have a choice between the two. The originals are shorter, non-religious and I won’t update their covers or blurbs. I’ll spend that time on new stories instead.

Any other books planned?

A mystery adventure book I wrote years ago. It involves fun exploration and mystery-solving like in The Blue Crocodile. This new book stars Detective Inspector Mya Dove, Officer Libby Smith, Officer Jimmy, Dixon and Daria Davis. I’m looking forward to the next draft of that story…

That’s all for now. Happy New Year!

Book Challenge Update No.3: The challenge is over.

Book Challenge Update No.3: The challenge is over.

As a reminder, I challenged myself to publish 11 books by 31st December 2024. Here are the books in the challenge:

  • D-Twins Rebooted Series: Book 1, Book 2, Book 3, Book 4, Book 5

  • Children’s Non-fiction Book
Challenge Update

Since my last update, my grandmother got sicker and sicker and died. It affected me a lot. I fell so far behind with the book challenge that it became impossible. The challenge is over. I won’t start another one. Life is too unpredictable.

Is the mailing list/blog over?

No, but I’m changing what I email/blog about. My messages will be less about publishing updates and more about my stories and characters. I’d like to talk about the true stories behind my books, starting with The Mean Girl Who Never Speaks.

Has the writing book been cancelled?

My writing prompts for kids book is still coming out. The cover has finally been done. I think it’s the best cover I’ve ever had! As promised, you can have a free copy of the ebook. Mailing list subscribers will have the chance to get all my new ebooks for free! Stay on my mailing list for more info.

Thanks for reading!

Kind regards,
