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!
