Look What's Coming


(Ya, I'm excited.)

I'm going to squeeze in a pre-script, whatever that is, to this little chat about my books. It's such an exciting time for me right about now. I finished editing Mary's Diary yesterday, and it felt so strange not having to work on it anymore. Now to get with the cover etc. etc. Thanks to all of you who have shown so much interest in this story. https://soundcloud.com/hollywoodbooktrailers/mary's-diary-official-book-trailer-by-marilyn-friesen

Once again it has been a busy, yet exciting time for me. I got the notion to reprint my books through Create Space so that has been occupying my time in a very interesting way. Did you know that Create Space sells about a third of all self published books? Maybe this way it will be easier for me to reach the audiences that are most interested in my style of writing. Mary's Diary, the Life of Jesus through His Mother's Eyes is still my favourite, although Two Mothers, Twin Daughter took a lot of imagination and creative writing. I still get comments on how interesting that one is, and someone wrote a swell review for me. You can check it out on Goodreads or Amazon now while you're thinking about it, if you want. It's too early in the game to show you pictures of the new covers, but just wait!!

I love this picture by Del Parson, (I think) but sure can't afford it!


I was going to yip about Mary's Diary some more, but if you love her Son, and admire His mother, you'll surely enjoy this story. It covers her life from the time she met the angel until after the Resurrection. His childhood has been carefully researched and covers the time in Egypt as well as many other incidences. My secret dream is that it will become a treasured book that people want to place along side their other favourites.
re authors and readers come together!

Feeding the Littlest Folk

Hey, have you been wondering why I haven't been having more to say about my books? Well, I was pretty dissatisfied with my experience with self publishing so really didn't really want them to sell under the circumstances.. Right now I am really hard at work reediting Mary's Diary, and have a terrific, new editor to go over it after I am done. Furthermore I have a new cover picture that I'm considering that is infinitely better than that dark, dull one.  Meanwhile, here's an appetizer...


Listen, I won't even pretend to have a corner on the history of Jesus as a child. This is pure imagination.

The life of Jesus through His Mother's eyes,


Dear Diary,
  H'm. It's pretty quiet around here. I wonder what the boys are up to. I finished making the soup for dinner, checked to see if baby Lydia was still asleep then wandered outdoors. James was close by. He called to me and I duly admired what he was building in the sand pile with scraps of lumber from the carpenter's shop.
"Where's Yeshua, (Jesus), "I soon asked.
"He went to yonder woods to feed the little folk, " James solemnly replied as he stuck a row of sticks in the ground.What a perfect day to be out of doors. I walked eagerly down the path to 'yonder' woods. Since no one was around I
