Hi Friends!! The past couple of weeks have been a bit crazy. We were so thrilled with the release of our first Mariana Books Rhyming Series. See it here on Amazon. https://www.amazon.com/Famous-people-Rhymes-Mariana-Rhyming-ebook/dp/B08KPKWV42/ref=sr_1_1?dchild=1&keywords=Roger+Carlson+the+world+famous&qid=1602641841&sr=8-1

We were very happy that our initial push garnered over 135 E-Book downloads and several print book sales. We also were so fortunate to get several great reviews. If you were one of the people who gave us reviews we want to say a huge “Thank You”!! From the bottom of our hearts, we appreciate the review. We know it took your valuable time. Most of our book releases will include five days of free downloads for our special friends like you. We want you to enjoy our books free of charge. The only thing we ask is a great review if you like the book. If we deserve it, a five star review means the world to us!!!!

Now, onto some great news. We are nearing the end of the design phase of our second rhyming book. It is a beautiful story about two kids who take part in a neighborhood Halloween costume party. We have attached a sneak peek of the title page illustration below. We believe you will enjoy the story. It will be released early next week, just in time for the Halloween season!! Please stay tuned and grab your free copy for the first week!!

We are also nearing the completion of our book three in the rhyming picture book series. This third book has a focus on the beauty and splendor of fall. Stay tuned in the coming weeks for that.

In addition, we are finalizing our second picture book in our Dick and Jane series by the great author Dr. Roseann Woodka. We expect that book to be released in the next couple of weeks. Stay tuned for that!!

We are working on our fourth book in the portal chapter book series. The illustrations are being worked on by an amazing Italian artist that we came across through our growing list of contacts. She has agreed to do several projects for us. We will be introducing her in the next several weeks.

Finally, we are so happy to have three books highlighted on the Society of Book Writers and Illustrators Book Stop which is an online event. It is a place where hundreds of public librarians, school librarians, independent book store owners, and anyone interested in books go to look at what is new for the year. We are fortunate to have three books highlighted there. Check out the website here. https://www.scbwi.org/scbwibookstop-display/?id=703082

Well that is all for now! Please stay tuned for future updates and thanks again for reading this update!
