Annabeth's War: Now Available!

A short while ago, we were given an opportunity to proofread a novel. We are excited to announce it is now available on Amazon ($10.95), and on the Kindle, Nook, and Smashwords ($3.99)!

Annabeth's War was written by Jessica Greyson, and is a delightful, uplifting book--one where you can't wait to see what happens next!

We recommend it for readers of all ages--and it would make the perfect Christmas present!

This is a lovely representation of a novel worth reading.

Here's something extra fun! 

Two bloggers we love (Jessica and Katherine Sophia) have teamed up with a book and bracelet giveaway. Click the picture for more info (and as a special treat, there's also an author interview)!

Character Interview: Grandma Carol Mitchell

Name: Grandma Carol Mitchell

Significant Other: Kyle tells me his name was Michael.

What's your favorite flower? Whatever it is that comes up all over the grass every year...it's small and yellow with lots of small petals. That little neighbor boy gives me bouquets of it every so often.

Describe yourself in one word: Silly!

What type of music could you listen to for hours? Whatever's on in the background...doesn't really matter to me.
