As you shop this holiday season, consider giving the gift of reading!
One of my favorite things to do during the holiday season is to curl up with a good book and be whisked away on an amazing adventure, solve a mystery, learn something new, or read a great love story. The holiday season is a time when I’m able to take time off and relax with family and friends and have the freedom to read without interruption.
For me, there’s nothing like walking into a bookstore and finding that perfect book to give as a gift. It’s not just a book. It’s the experience that comes with it. I have had the pleasure of reading some great books this past year and have had the privilege of meeting some great authors through my writing groups.
I’d like to share a list of authors that you should check out because I have thoroughly enjoyed getting to know them and reading their books!!
They are: Toby Dorr, Marilyn James, Merle Saferstein, Leoma Gilley, Judy Helm Wright, Michelle Oucharek-Deo, Ann Van Hine, Linda Jamsen, Susan J. Godwin, Anntoinette Truglio Martin, Christina Dankert, Pat Black-Gould, Alexa Bigwarfe, Lexi Haddock, Emily Myers, Elizabeth Ducie and me!!
I still have to pinch myself because there are days when I still can’t believe I accomplished my goal and became a published author! I’m currently working on book 2 of the Marisela Series and look forward to what 2024 will bring…
So, as you go book shopping, please consider buying Marisela Discovers Music. It makes the perfect gift for any child. Here’s a description of my book.
Book description:
Every child instinctively knows how to sing and dance. We can all make a joyful noise and move to music that inspires us from a young age. Every culture has its roots in instrumentation and song.
Readers learn about the author’s journey to discover her life’s passion for being a professional musician. From a chance encounter with a summer band camp at her local school as an 8-year-old, through her college auditions, Marisela’s journey through the world of music shows children that they can follow their dreams and that anything is possible if they pursue it.
Children can relate to the young Marisela in this story which doesn’t disguise the hard work and family support it takes to achieve their dreams. Marisela Discovers Music is an excellent lesson in the strength of a family and the value of perseverance.
She never gave up and with family support, persistence, and hard work, her dream became a reality.
