Our Progress on TWIN TAILS Book 2...and More UPDATES to Enjoy!

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!

 

Stay tuned to our upcoming sale of CILLYart books here on CILLYart4U...just in time to purchase them as gifts for your young, emerging readers and family for the holidays! Rook Publishing just informed us about other TWIN TAILS products on sale now at their ACUTE CREATION Store too! Check these fun gift ideas out at:

Back to Work...With Another SNEAK PEEK into TWIN TAILS Book 2 for YOU!!!

It is good to be home, but trying to get back into the swing of things and whittling down my mountain of things to do that built up while I was out of town with family is a feat! As I continue to do a beta reader project for a fellow author, I am again prepping to work with my own beta readers in this next editing process of my own TWIN TAILS Book 2 manuscript!

Here is a sneak peek into one of the story illustrations for TWIN TAILS Book 2 that I hope you will enjoy! What do you think has caused our mermaid twins alarm in one of their relaxing ocean swims? Story prediction using illustrations or text is a great reading skill for readers of all ages!

Don't forget to enter our TWIN TAILS of Mason Beach children's book give-away through goodreads.com!  You and your family may be one of our winners!  For more details, just click on my website blog link below...and GOOD LUCK!
