About book one of the Lill and Mewe series Lill and Mewe and the Secrets of Mars
When Lill, a young Martian girl, receives a telescope for her birthday and locates planet Earth, she and her water cat, Mewe, "borrow" a new spacecraft called the Whisper 5 and travel to Earth, where they meet a girl named Lily. Back on Mars, Lill looks for her brother Merak, who, also on a mission, has lost contact when his warp drive safety failed and may have left the galaxy. Lill later learns Merak was rescued, but by whom? 

As Lill watches Mewe swim race at Frogscry River, where she competes with the other water cats, Lill discovers a glowing orb in the wall of a cave. The orb holds the thoughts of Martians who have died hundreds of years ago, along with ancient wisdom. What will she learn from the orb? Will she find Merak? What are the secrets of the history of Mars? 

Follow the exciting adventures of Lill and Mewe as they seek answers in a world of advanced computers, androids, and artificial intelligence.

What readers are saying about Lill and Mewe and the Secrets of Mars
Five Stars! 
Charming in its simplicity, yet surprisingly complex. There is a lot going on with this fun little story. The author has some big ideas and writes for her target audience. The secrets of Mars are revealed with a civilization hidden beneath the surface of the red planet. The focus of the story is on Lill, her younger brother and their insatiable curiosity. The story ends piquing my curiosity and leaves me ready for the sequel. Like a good series should, this first book comes to a satisfying end, but leaves the reader with a few questions. This story is perfect for middle grade and some young readers, especially if they are interested in fun and science!

Five Stars!
I like to preview what my children will be reading. The imagination and scientific facts that filled this book made it very enjoyable reading. I found myself becoming intrigued with the story and ended up reading the entire book Lill and Mewe and the Secrets of Mars. I feel children will find it adventuresome and educational with the facts of Mars and space. I find this author's work truly enjoyable reading for all ages.

Cover Reveal: Lill and Mewe book 3 Mission to Zanda

JLB Craetives Publishing is proud to announce book three in the Lill and Mewe series coming soon!

About Lill and Mewe: Mission to Zanda 

Book three of the Lill and Mewe series

Children of all ages will enjoy the sci-fi adventure Lill and Mewe: Mission to Zanda.

The Martians have officially entered into their age of space exploration. MARSA and the MMSC have formulated a plan for space travel well beyond the Milky Way Galaxy. After testing a theory using a probe, they realized they have to first travel backwards to find a specific wormhole. This would prove to be the shortcut to bridge part of the 2.5 million light years to reach planet Zanda in the Andromeda Galaxy. But where in the galaxy did they find this ‘super’ wormhole? What big surprise does MARSA have for the mission crew?

Lill and Mewe trek to Turtle Run Creek to see the rare turtle hatchlings that happen every 40 years. It appears the turtles communicate with each other very well. Like any little community, the turtles each have their own task to perform. When Mewe gets too close to some young turtles she is smacked and hissed at by a turtle that protects them. Mewe hissed back but understood they protect their young turtles at all costs. Do the turtles have any enemies? Is it possible for turtles and cats to become friends?

Merak stays behind on this mission, but manages to create his own imaginary creatures at the Amusphere. During one of his holographic battles with otherworldly aliens, the program malfunctions and he is left to fend for himself. What happens?

The MMSC mission crew set off on their mission to Zanda. It is the first time the Martians are invited to join the United Alliance of Planets conference on that faraway planet. This takes place when the five blue moons align. It takes almost two weeks to reach their destination. Danger lurks along the way. Who or what do they encounter? What is a Pree? Is there trouble brewing in the universe?

Find out the answers to these questions and learn how Earth is connected to all of this when you arrive on planet Zanda.

Tips for writing good science fiction (faction) for children part one

By Jean E. Lane          Author of the “Lill and Mewe” series

 Tip 1: Find a General Topic

Find a science topic that you are comfortable with and research that topic. All good science fiction begins with fact. Although you are writing beyond what we already know, you must still be believable. 

There are many online sources and magazines where you can gather your tidbits of information. Write down anything you find interesting that you can weave into your story. I like to keep a ‘source’ file. Before long you’ll find a favorite “go to” place for your information, but never use just one source. 

Know your target audience to whom you are writing and gear your information to that level. It’s okay to use those bigger words, sometimes you will need to do just that. Start brainstorming with your ideas, just let the ideas flow, write a paragraph or a page and see which direction your ideas take you. Let your own personality enter into the writing equation. Save your source information, you’ll need to do a bibliography later for your book.

About Lill and Mewe and the Secrets of Mars

Book One of the Lill and Mewe Series

The year is 2456MD, (Mars Date) however the story events are happening in present times. The Martians track time a little differently than us Earthlings. To the average eye, the planet Mars seems dead, uninviting, dusty, and void of water. I say life did exist there at one time, and stil does; we just haven’t stratched the surface yet. Maybe there’s a lot more happening than we can imagine, just because you can’t see something, doesn’t mean it doesn’t exist right?

The secrets beneath the surface could tell another story. The story of Lill and Mewe, as told by Lill herself of how she feels about the lost history of Mars, her current life, and the great strides the Martians have made to recapture the advanced intelligence and technology of their past. It’s all about the role they play in our solar system and how they feel about us Earthlings. Are we even worth talking to? What could they possibly learn from us? Maybe we have more to learn from them, but are we willing to open our minds?

JLB Creatives Publishing is proud to announce the latest author to join our collective! Science Faction author Jean E Lane brings us Lill and Mewe and the Secrets of Mars.

What is Science Faction? So glad you asked! Science fiction and scientific facts are blended together for a fun learning experience for all ages! Reader's Favorite had this to say about Lill and Mewe and the Secrets of Mars in their review....

"I enjoyed the way the author mixed fact and fiction to create a book that will teach and entertain at the same time. The author has created a language for Martians which is a bit different from what we speak on Earth but it is very understandable. I think my favorite character in this book is Mewe, the cat. We wonder what fun it would be If all our pets could talk with us. This charming book will encourage children to like science; they will learn about planets, stars and moons. This book will work well for children in the 2nd grade through 6th grade."

This fantastic book will be available in both paperback and ebook this summer! Keep an eye out on this page and JLB Creatives.com for information about this book's official release date. Without further adieu....
