Book 1 – Through the Mirror and Into Snow:

When best friends Valerie and Samantha discover a magic mirror in Val’s 100-year-old barn in southern Minnesota, they eagerly go through it. Immediately they run into the young Snow White, who has just escaped the huntsman. The girls vow to help her find her father, knowing the dangers that await. On their journey, the fun-loving double-trouble duo quickly discover they are caught up in the middle of their favorite fairy tales.

Having the knowledge of the stories as their only weapon, Val and Sam help two other princesses, make a surprising friend and discover they have a fairy godmother of their very own.

Book 2 – Into the Forest and Down the Tower:

It’s time for Samantha’s summer visit again. Both she and Val are anxious to see if they will take another magical journey through the mirror. After learning of a problem with one of the horses, Odette makes her appearance and tells the girls it’s up to them to help him.

What Charlie needs is something that can only be found in their magical land. It can’t be given to them; they have to solves riddles and discover the answers themselves. A family of elves guides them, but even elf powers are limited when it comes to what stands between the girls and what they seek.

Trolls and unicorns were everything they imagined and more, but rescuing Rapunzel from her tower was an added bonus they never saw coming.

News page now a blog!

It took a little work, okay A LOT of work (Thanks, Alan!), but I switched my news page over to a blog.  I have been looking for a way to get more interactive for other Middle Grade writers & I have found some great blog hops, so I wanted to play along! The first one will be on April 30th. I’ll be giving away a print or e-copy of book 1 or 2 – your choice. Come back for the list of other great blogs & giveaways on April 30th!

Welcome to anyone just visiting! No worries – I don’t feel unloved with no comments. LOL! I took all my previous news posts and made them blog posts & couldn’t restore comments.

Google has also taken away the follower “thingy” for any non-blogger blogs so if you want to follow along, click the fabcebook “like”. If I post here – I’ll drop it there. If you don’t have facebook and want to know when a new release is out, use the contact form & send me an e-mail. I’ll be sure to keep you posted.

Thanks for stopping by!
