Happy Monday, July 14, 2025!

Who is ready to learn about my new book?
We’ll start right off the with my title and cover reveal.
The Name of My New Book is….
“Magical Fashion Show Contest”
This book holds 102 pages and is for Middle-Grade readers. (Depending on the reading levels of each person, it may be suitable for upper elementary school readers, as well.)

Here’s The Tagline and First Paragraph on the Back of This Book!
“Unravel the Eras of Time: Where Style Meets the Past in This Fashion Show Mystery!”
When triplets Maggie, Millie, and Merrie take a trip to Florida to visit their grandmother, they expect sun, sand, and a whole lot of fun.

You are probably thinking, wait a minute! I’ve heard of the triplets, Maggie, Millie and Merrie and stories with their grandmother! So, why another book?
The answer to that is, yes, I do have the triplet’s picture books written for young readers. Then that nagging feeling kept coming back to me, saying, these stories needed to be written for Middle-Grade readers, too. After all, the girls are now twelve years old, and I felt they needed a whole new adventure with older readers.
*(I’ll be the first to tell you, writing is fun, but not always easy. There are lots of ways to learn. That’s why I have a few bonus author’s books to share with you at the end of this post.)*
