Marie and Jerry Perlet have retired to Florida after forty years in elementary education in Maryland. Following the successful release of their first novel for adult audiences, The Reunion Key, they are publishing their second novel in the Molly and Jake series. They have successfully published four children’s books in 2013 including: Grandpa Ek: Washington D.C.; Grandpa Ek: Annapolis; Dragon Stories: Sara’s Adventures; and Dragon Stories 2: George and Zoe’s Adventures. Long Lost Friend is based on their many travels across the globe and their many friendships through the years. They plan to take Molly and Jake on more adventures in future novels.
