So I’ve been working on the second book in the MG series that tells the stories of a set of siblings who lose their parents. The editing has been interesting and today I did some research regarding the local justice system. Turns out I’ll have to make some minor adjustments, but I suspected that would be the case.
Meantime, I’ve been distracting myself by working on a cover or two. I wanted the look to be similar to that of the first book Christine’s Odyssey and I think I’ve achieved that. These covers are dark considering that the stories are for kids, but they reflect the essence of the stories. I’ve added the blurbs with the covers so you can see what the novels are about. Let me know what you think.
