I don't write children's stories but here's something from Eugenia Chu for those of you who have children at home most of the time now.

Ages 7-11
Brandon and his cousins are on a trip to visit their grandparents in Beijing, China! While bonding with family, practicing Chinese, touring historic sites and feasting on local dishes, Brandon thinks he sees a tiny panda. However, every time he gets close, the panda disappears! Is Brandon imagining this small creature, or is it real? Will Brandon find out before he has to fly back home?

I've read it myself and it's real cute (educational too).

0.99 until 4th May

A bargain book that's also free on Kindle Unlimited. Immerse yourself in another place, another time, and take your mind off the world's current problems.

It is 1821 and smuggling is rife on the English coast. Lucy Yorton, dragged away from her privileged early life, must slave on a bleak, run-down farm.

Then two men enter her life:-

Lieutenant Karl Thorsen, sworn to avenge the murder of his father, is a King's man. He is determined to hang the violent smugglers.

Daniel Tynton has smuggling in his blood. Undaunted by Thorsen's threats, he is respected and feared.

The choices we make determine our futures and Lucy is torn between two determined men as the secrets and lies undermining her life are exposed.

And if you've already read this one, then there's also books 2 and 3 in the Dark Moon Series:

Take yourself on a journey into a dark world on the Isle of Wight.

and

What happens when a perfect life meets obsession?

I don't write children's books so if you have little ones in need of some new stories, here's a good one from Erica Graham:-


Erica Graham - Talking Tales: Catch that Chinchilla. Suitable for up to age 8.

Oh no! The chinchilla has escaped! Can Fletch and his sister, Rachael, find the sneaky chinchilla before Dad gets home?

Review: "The atmosphere of the story is one of fun, and I found myself quite unexpectedly smiling throughout the entire story! I definitely enjoyed the massive shock and surprise at the very end of the tale and wholeheartedly recommend Catch That Chinchilla to young readers." - Rosie Malezer for Readers' Favorite

And you can have fun reading it to a child as it has lots of ch, ch sounds in it!

Can¡¯t get to the sea? Foreign travel out of the question? Perhaps reading a book set in a coastal location in the UK will help to spread your wings and bring you closer as you get lost in the story. If you have read One Dark Night, you might like the second book in the series



It is set on an island off the south coast of England. (It¡¯s not essential to read Book One first but, like dinner, it¡¯s often preferable to have the main course before strawberries and cream.)

A ruthless smuggler - The Dark Star - is confronted by Lieutenant Thorsen who is entranced by a woman 'owned' by him. The Dark Star takes his revenge.

And it is FREE from 2nd to 6th June. Of course, it¡¯s always free if you have Kindle Unlimited.

I don¡¯t write children¡¯s stories and some of you may have children at home who¡¯ve run out of good books to read. Here then is something from Carole P. Roman, an award winning author, whose first big book of silly jokes lives on my bookshelf for all visiting children. This is her second book and it looks like it is also going to get that best selling flag from Amazon.
