2013 With Lizzy Anne

As 2012 comes to a close, the Lizzy Anne team can say that this year was a very productive one!

Lizzy Anne's Adventures Volume 4 was produced, illustrated, and printed, which was a very good start. Many new short stories were drafted, and multiple are nearly complete. This blog, as well as our Twitter and Facebook page, both gained some more popularity-- and that's always a plus! We had many adventures of our own, like our first Book Festival in Gaithersburg. We hope to be back for the next one, and possibly more!

We have some exciting plans for 2013 prepared that we would like to share. Both Lizzy Anne's Adventures (Volume 5) and the picture book Sorry, Charlie! will both be coming out in the new year, with more following! You can pick up the new books on Amazon or on our main website, and the older ones are still there as well.

Have a happy new year, everyone, and see you in 2013!

Volume 4: The Great County Fair

Fall means apple cider, colorful leaves, and the Great County Fair!

Once a year the fairgrounds come to life as the fair moves into town. Lizzy Anne is extremely excited to find that her grandparents will be showing their beloved cow Bessie in the fair. However, she does not expect things to go terribly awry!

While Lizzy is petting the piglets and pigging out on cotton candy, Bessie is up to no good. Lizzy finds out the hard way that Bessie knows how to unlock her stall gate. A whole herd of trouble arises!

Volume 3: Lizzy Anne's Vacation Plans

Even though it's autumn here, Lizzy Anne's mind is on summer! Summer vacation, to be exact. Little Lizzy Anne is thrilled at the idea of spending a week at the beach soaking up the sun and splashing in the waves. She can barely contain her excitement!

Unfortunately for her, school is still in session. Summer might be right around the corner, but there are still tests to be taken. But those don't stop Lizzy Anne from daydreaming about her time at the beach.

Will the slip in her grades jeopardize Lizzy's chances of going on her dream vacation? Pick up a copy and find out!

Volume 3: A Letter from Nana

When Lizzy Anne’s grandma comes to visit, the two bond over an interest in their family’s history. Little does Lizzy Anne know that she’s about to climb through the limbs of an elaborate family tree.

It starts out as a simple school project, but the more Lizzy Anne learns about her relatives, the more fascinated she becomes. Farmers, circus performers, fighter pilots, and plenty of twins are all parts of Lizzy Anne’s exciting ancestry.

Grandma Nana also informs Lizzy Anne about a treasured family heirloom that has been passed down from mother to daughter for generations. Grandma Nana says very little else about this in her letter – what could it possibly be?
