Tina Marie and Marla E.
We are happy to announce the release of our new book, Tina Marie and Marla E.!! It’s a children’s book about friendship, but would also make a delightful gift for friends and family who are considering retirement or are newly-retired and are wondering what adventures to embark on in their newfound free time. Tina and Marla have very different ideas about how to have fun, but that makes their conversations lively and interesting!

A School of Fish (It’s a story!! It’s a coloring book!)
Do you wear glasses? Do they stay on your face? Well, Martha’s glasses liked to fly off her face, and — oh, no! — they especially liked to blow into the sea! When Martha went scuba-diving, she found some fish–wearing glasses that looked strangely like hers–and the fish looked very much like they were going to school! Find out what this is all about in A School of Fish. You even get to color in all of the pictures, because it is a COLORING BOOK! Have fun!
