My Lack of Blogging Activity…

There’s a reason I’ve been less active the past six months on WordPress…

I’m pregnant! I’m due March 8th with a precious baby boy.

With pregnancy, baby prep, publishing my second book and starting my Author Youtube channel, blogging (both writing and reading blogs) definitely took a back seat.

I went from meeting my weekly goal of 3 blogs/ week to…crickets. Slowly, I have begun to re-enter the blogosphere.

I plan to blog and read more blogs in the next couple of months, but all bets are off when the baby comes. Blogging could be a welcome respite and outlet, or it could feel like a burden.

There are so many unknowns with such a big life transition that I won’t put any expectations on myself. Ideally, I’d like to stay connected with the WordPress blogging world, but certainly not at the expense of my sanity 🙂

I’m truly looking forward to this next phase of life and to reading many books to my son, including my own children’s book series! Perhaps I will start reviewing younger children’s books on this blog as I read to him. Of course, I will read him many children’s classics 🙂

Whatever happens, I’m grateful to follow so many great blogs on here and to have others read mine, too!

Happy Blogging in 2022, Everyone!

If you want to check out my children’s middle grade fantasy adventure series, here are the links and descriptions.

Adventures in Eridu Series:

The Land in the Woods (Book I) – Free as an Ebook from December 25th-29th, 2021

You never know what adventure is waiting for you in the woods.

While exploring the woods near their house, Janine, Maurie, and Bobby Wells find a portal to a magical land. This new land has strange laws and magical creatures, and a looming threat of an encroaching darkness. The children are summoned to appear before the King to receive His protection, but must escape danger and villains along the way.

They also meet the mysterious and kind Prince, who helps them to wrestle with justice, forgiveness, and mercy.

This middle-grade fantasy novel draws on themes and characters from classics such as Lewis Carroll’s Alice in Wonderland; C.S. Lewis’ The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe; John Bunyan’s Pilgrim’s Progress; and George MacDonald’s Phantastes and The Wise Woman. Part Christian allegory and part adventure story, this book will get your kids thinking about spiritual and moral concepts.

The Forgotten Scroll (Book II)

When Maurie, Janine, and Bobby Wells return to the mythical land of Eridu, they are given an important mission to fight the Darkness.

After deciphering ancient languages and intricate puzzles, the Wells children learn they must recover the King’s magical scroll to bring light back into His Kingdom.

But the road to finding the scroll is difficult, and they must team up with new friends and old foes, battling dangerous creatures and overcoming obstacles on their epic journey.

The children are guided by Prince and Neumatos, whose power and goodness continue to surprise them. Yet, when new and powerful enemies threaten their mission, the children and crew worry that their mission is doomed. Will Eridu be consumed by the Darkness? And how many can be saved before they are swallowed up completely?

This is the second book in the Adventures in Eridu. We recommend reading The Land in the Woods first!

Using mythological themes and creatures from history and children’s classics, these books will inspire your children’s imagination and teach them important values of faith, courage, and love.

This book has everything from magical sorceresses and knights to dragons and werewolves! It has a fellowship of adventurers like in The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings and an ocean voyage similar to The Voyage of the Dawn Treader in The Chronicles of Narnia. It has danger, battles, and comic relief along the way, geared to entertain today’s young readers.
