Don't Fear the Monster: A Halloween Scare (Can You Find, Did You Know)

CJ Corki is a pen name tribute to the father of three wonderful women. CJ represents his initials, and Corki is a Polish derivative of daughters; thus, CJ's daughters. These women dealt with the challenges of balancing work, life, and reluctant readers by day, developing into amateur children's book sleuths by night...while wearing their bunny slippers, of course. At an early age, they learned to "play nice in the sandbox," and they hope to inspire others to remember the value of family, the importance of individual abilities, and to work together in harmony. They currently live in different states but figured out how to stay close through video chat, phone calls, countless texts, and their love for words. They adore their grandbabies, and they're busy living out their happily ever afters with their respective fur-babies and supportive husbands.
