The series
Educational Activity Book for Children
All five volumes are hand-written and hand-illustrated — a labor of love that has been accepted into the Library of Congress and is available online globally. Each book turns practice into play with fruit puzzles, telling time, opposites, hidden pictures, cursive, and more.


Secret in the River
Tallis learned at a young age to trust only her five senses. She spent years trying to decode a past she remembers with daily emotional invalidation — and wanting to share her secret and fix her mistake became her life's obsession, until fate intervened.
A fictional, suspenseful novella described as brilliant, with a fresh twist of writing.

Beverly M Chapman
Born in 1969 in Sacramento, California, Beverly is a U.S. Army veteran, mother of three, and grandmother. With a lifelong dream of becoming an author, she wrote and illustrated five early-education children's activity books — all accepted into the Library of Congress — before stepping beyond her comfort zone to write her first suspense novella.
