Mystery of the Ballerina Ghost: Austria 1 (Pack-n-Go Girls Adventures) - Softcover

Janelle Diller has always had a passion for writing. As a young child, she wouldn’t leave home without a pad and pencil just in case her novel hit her and she had to scribble it down quickly. She eventually learned that good writing takes a lot more time and effort than this. Fortunately, though, she still loves to write. She’s especially lucky because she also loves to travel. It doesn’t get any better than writing stories about traveling! Janelle and her husband live on a sailboat in Mexico in the winter and in a house in Colorado in the summer.
