At long last, I have finally published the third book in The Adventures of Shelly Beach series, titled A Mangrove Mystery! I’ve had this book ready for months, but was postponed due to medical appointments, surgeries, and just general procrastination. At first, I was pretty disappointed in myself for not being on the ball, but then I realized this is probably the perfect time to release the book – with Halloween coming! A Mangrove Mystery  takes readers on more adventures with Shelly and her brother Sunny, and of course the fascinating Uncle Oscar! Readers will also be introduced to new magical creatures and characters as well as be reunited with their old favorites. Many secrets will be revealed, some mysteries solved, as well as one big problem.

I think readers of the books will also love my new Shelly Beach Portal, where they can sign up for either a monthly or yearly subscription. In the portal they will meet all of their favorite characters from the books and they can take a little trip to the Secret Cove, ride down the Silent Canal, and visit Mira in her Magick Potion Lab.  And there’s more, you just have to sign up and you will be able to explore all that the portal has to offer. There are coloring sheets for the youngest kids, downloadable files that teach about sea life, and even recipes for magick potions. This portal will grow and change with time and my imagination, as well as your child’s.

As always, I appreciate all of your support and hope you have as much fun with this as I do!
