Hey there, I'm nearing the end of the beta reading project on TWIN TAILS Book 2 and am feeling immense gratitude to all my helpful beta readers for their invaluable input they've shared with me! I should be ready to submit this book manuscript for its professional edit by November 1st! Yay...another step soon to be completed for our target goal to publish TWIN TAILS Book 2 by early autumn 2016!
In the meantime, here is another SNEAK PEAK into the TWIN TAILS Book 2 story with this line illustration to the right here! What is this illustration telling you about the continuing adventures of Marina and Perla Perez? Why did they risk revealing their mermaid identities to these people on the dock? My beta readers have given their hearty "thumbs up!" of this new book as delightful, magical book entertainment for children, families and other devoted readers of children's books, engaging them as they prosper in their reading skill development and passion...and great for English language learners as well! If you have not yet picked up and read TWIN TAILS Book One, TWIN TAILS of Mason Beach...do so today at amazon.com, barnesandnoble.com, or request it at your favorite bookstore or library today!
