Book Description

June 14, 2011
Three siblings, Arty, Lance and Gwen, set off for their Mother's forbidden flower garden to play. They dream up the grand kingdom of Camel Lot with a courageous king, a daring knight and a princess with a pink magical unicorn. But somewhere else in the garden, trouble is brewing. It's not their orange tabby, Marlin; it's the neighbor-boy, Dwayne.

Camel Lot is a fantasy adventure for bedtime or anytime. Written to be read aloud to children of any age or read alone by children ages 8-12. Approximately 3,400 words.

I just read your book. Wonderful work, Karen. This will be read to my grandchildren. Great for stirring up pleasant dreams in the minds of kids at bedtime. Illustrates how kids work things out better than adults sometimes. Great understanding of how kids think. Beautiful illustrations and great descriptions of the garden and the kids.

Simple and Elegant July 2, 2011
Format:Kindle Edition|Amazon Verified Purchase
A wonderful children's short story that sets the basis for a world that can be both cute and intelligent. It is simple and elegant in the style and yet does not condescend to children, but rather uses diction that can be relevant to all ages. The lighthearted tone points to the wonderful gifts of childhood imagination and can set minds aflutter. The mystery that gets introduced (the neighborhood boy, the tomcat, and even pink unicorns) all lay the fantastical yet cerebral stage that is mischievous children at play.

Fabulous illustrations and great writing combined with snappy one-liners make this children's book a fun read.

I hope to see more from Ms. Jones.

More About the Author

After returning to Indiana from Los Angeles, leaving behind a job I loved, I thought, "I'll just run right out in this depressed job market and snatch up another."

Pretty soon, depressed not only described the job market, but my attitude as well. I'd applied for several great job opportunities, numerous acceptable job opportunities, several okay-I-can-take-it-for-now employment options, and a couple please-please-dont-actually-call-me-back "positions" (and I use that term lightly).

So as my husband slipped back into his role of tech wizard to the Mac-needy, I sat home - alone. I'd enrolled Allyson in a public middle school expecting to be working full time, so my days were really freed up. We no longer own much (something I've come to love, by the way), so there wasn't much arranging of furniture to do. At least not on a daily basis. The weather was still cold and ugly, so outdoor walking and taking Dixie (the Chihuahua) to the park wasn't really appealing.

So I wrote a book.
