Hello Readers,
Oh, wow. Have we been busy here at Dani P. Mystery! There is so much to tell you and we can't wait. So kick back, grab your favorite beverage, and enjoy reading about our latest adventures!
The Official Dani P. Mystery T-Shirt
First off, since we are on a countdown, let me tell you about our t-shirt campaign. Now through April 5th you can order your official Dani P. Mystery t-shirt at Teespring.com T-shirts are available in children's, women's, and two unisex styles. Prices vary on the t-shirt ordered, but are at actual cost. If you previously ordered a t-shirt, we apologize, but that campaign has been replaced by this one and a new order will need to be placed.
You may be wondering what has been keeping us so busy?
We are fervently working behind the scenes on the second editions of Dani and the Haunted House and Dani and the Mall Caper. Below are copies of the new covers. Each book features all-new illustrations by our amazing artist, Katrina Glidewell, and I have updated some content. Dani and the Mall Caper should be available in the coming weeks and Dani and the Haunted House will follow soon after.
In addition, we have been working on a Companion Activity Book! The activity book will cover the first three books in the series and will include trivia questions to test your child's comprehension, puzzles, coloring pages, and more--- all of which fit into a compact size to match the book series!
As always, Amazon.com is the exclusive Seller of the Dani P. Mystery series.
Upcoming books.....
Even though we've taken a step back to work on the second editions, we're still thinking of the future! I am currently writing Dani and the Hidden Treasure and I can't wait to get Dani and the Magician off the storyboard and onto paper. Especially since we will be having a special "guest star" magician. You may wonder how that works since this is a fictional book. Well, we have been granted permission to use the likeness and name of a real professional children's magician! We're so excited! I know, I know....you want to know who? Well, I'm afraid you'll just have to wait on that mystery......

Classroom Visits!
Since we have been operating on a soft release of the series, which means we really haven't started our marketing campaign, we have not opened up our schedule to classroom visits---UNTIL NOW! Since the first three books in the series are almost complete, we are going to start focusing on our marketing and reaching out to our readers.
We have two types of visits available. For local schools we are offering classroom visits based on availability. We are also offering Skype visits to non-local classrooms. Want to know what to expect during a classroom visit? Check out our YouTube video below.
Around the World with Dani P.
As I mentioned before, we have been operating under a soft release. Based on that premise, you might think that Dani P. Mystery has been limited to our local area since we've been relying on word-of-mouth. Well, you are in for quite a surprise! Check out the map to the right. The areas highlighted in yellow are all the states Dani has already visited, plus we've made it to Australia and the United Kingdom! And this is only based on the people reporting their location. Who knows where else she has visited! To see some of the pictures submitted by our readers, please visit our Around the World with Dani P. Mystery slideshow.
Whew. Did I fib? You can see for yourself how busy we've been. If you want to keep up with our latest happenings, you don't have to wait for our quarterly newsletter! Visit us on Facebook or on our website.
I would like to take this opportunity to thank all of you for your support and helping to make Dani P. Mystery the success it has become. We are growing slowly, but solidly. As I have always said, "I would rather be the tortoise than the hare." Thank you my friends and readers for taking this journey with me!
All the best,
K. Lamb
