IT’S OFFICIAL!
I’m so excited to share that my second book, A Season of Blessings at Palmetto Point, is now available on Amazon!

It feels so good to return to Palmetto Point—a place filled with family, friendship, love, laughter, and the kind of community where I grew up. In fact it’s based on where I grew up and the characters are based on my family and friends!
For those who have followed the Norwood family from the beginning, you’ll get to spend more time with the people you’ve come to know and love as their families grow, new chapters begin, and life brings plenty of unexpected blessings along the way.
And if you’re new to Palmetto Point, I hope this story makes you want to pull up a chair, pour yourself a glass of sweet tea, and stay awhile.
Here’s a little peek at A Season of Blessings at Palmetto Point…Ready to return to Palmetto Point?

Sharing isn’t always easy—especially when you have something you REALLY love!

In Freddie Learns to Share, Freddie and his friend Larry learn a sweet little lesson about friendship, kindness, and how much more fun things can be when we share. 💕

With adorable characters, colorful illustrations, and a gentle message little ones can understand, this is such a fun story to read together with your littles!

Freddie & Friends books are available NOW on Amazon!

This has taken me 18 months to get these books published.
I’m so excited to share my Freddie & Friends books with you!
These sweet little stories were created with one simple hope — to give children books that are fun to read, beautiful to look at, and filled with lessons that matter.
Through Freddie and his friends, children learn about kindness, friendship, sharing, saying sorry, trying new things, helping others, and simply being a good friend — all wrapped up in adorable stories and charming illustrations.
They’re written especially for little ones ages 2–8, making them wonderful for bedtime stories, grandparents’ houses, birthday gifts, classroom libraries, or just because.
Seven Freddie & Friends adventures are available now on Amazon, with more new stories coming soon! (links below)
If you have a child or grandchild in your life, I would be so grateful if you would take a look at the series — Collect them all and build a little library filled with friendship, laughter, and love.
Please feel free to share this post with anyone who has littles!

ALL SEVEN of my Freddie & Friends children's books are now published and available on Amazon! Plus a coordinating coloring book!!!

I've included the direct links below to make ordering easy. Or, if you'd rather purchase directly from me, send me a DM! As a special thank-you, when you purchase all 7 storybooks directly from me, you'll receive the Freddie & Friends Coloring Book absolutely FREE!

I can't even begin to tell you how excited I am. This has been a long journey! After more than eight months of struggling with my publisher to get the books formatted correctly and looking the way I envisioned, I made the difficult decision to part ways and publish them myself. It was one of the best decisions I've made. Seeing these books finally come to life exactly as I imagined has been incredibly rewarding.

Thank you to everyone who has encouraged me, cheered me on, and believed in this dream. Your support means more than you'll ever know.

I already have more Freddie & Friends adventures in the works and hope to release them around December. Until then, I hope these stories bring smiles, laughter, and sweet moments to the children and grandchildren in your life.

Happy reading!

And please feel free to share this with anyone who has littles!

After 28 wonderful years as a photographer, I've officially retired from the business that brought me so many incredible friendships and unforgettable memories.
To every family, senior, new mother , and friend who trusted me to capture your life's special moments... thank you. Your support has meant more to me than words can express.
Retirement hasn't slowed me down—it has simply led me to a new dream.
For years I've had stories in my heart waiting to be told, and now I'm living that dream as a published author. I'm writing heartfelt novels inspired by my Florida hometown, along with children's books designed to teach kindness, friendship, and good character.
If you've enjoyed following my journey over the years, I'd be honored if you'd continue this next chapter with me.
Please come join me on my author page, where I'll be sharing book news, behind-the-scenes looks at my writing process, new releases, events, and plenty of stories along the way.
Thank you for being part of my life for all these years. I hope you'll join me as this exciting new adventure begins!
❤️ Brenda
