Story Behind The Book

The Violet Series of books are written by an eight-year-old, an eleven-year-old, and a grandma. Oddly enough, the main characters are an eight-year-old, an eleven-year-old, and a grandma. The books are fun for girls 6-12 or anyone else who wants a good laugh. Roxanne Smolen, Aurora Smolen, and Persephone Smolen make up the writing team of R.A.P. Smolen. They write with love, laughter, and lollipops, and enjoy brainstorming sessions every Sunday. Look for another of Violet's adventures coming soon.
