Books on Parade!!

Wow!  Just wow!!

Five books published since May 2016.
Twenty-one titles published since August 2011
(One title is not pictured. My copy is in Ann's shop!  Sorry, Ari!! I've made it up to you below...)

SO A QUESTION FOR THE REST OF YOU:

Shouldn't your book be out of your filing cabinet and on my shelf? Are you going to wait forever?

DON'T.

Tomorrow is September 11. And we can (and will)  remember pain and death and sacrifice. Or we can (also) choose to remember that no one gets forever, so if something is on our "bucket list" (like getting that book written or published), we owe it to ourselves to do it.

September is also Suicide Prevention Month, so I am going to highlight Ari Ford's book, The Mystery of Death Bridge, about Ohana the therapy dog. Ohana and her brother Russ learn about the suicides that are taking place on the bridge, and they help their human friend Emily and their therapist owner Dr. Buga make the bridge safer and stop other people from hurting themselves or others.

And so I thought on the day I was able to HOLD my novel -- A Muse Meant -- in my hot little hands, that I would share these chapter names with you.

Happy Birthday to my latest book!!! A Muse Meant is Here!!

Happy Birthday (or happy publishing day) to my latest book. After three and a half years, I am finally ready and happy to introduce A Muse Meant to the world.

Please check it out on Amazon, and share the link with your friends.

A Muse Meant is about Samm and her friend Alex, two middle school young people trying to negotiate the terrifying world that will be their teenage years. Samm, the girl, just made the championship team in soccer for the girl's division. Alex, the boy, didn't. And that's just the start.

When Alex plays hooky from school, Samm is forced to go on what they both believe will be a boring field trip by herself. But for Samm, it isn't boring. It's an absolute magic house leading from one adventure to another. She can't wait to share it with her best friend.

But how can she explain it to him? And when she takes him to the place, it's just an abandoned lot. She starts to doubt herself. Luckily, Alex knows his best friend is sensitive and smart -- not crazy or lying to call attention to herself.

So they finally find A Muse Meant, and accidentally release the trapped monsters there -- called Goons. The Goon caretaker, Mr. Rios, says they must return the Goons or they won't be allowed to leave. With so many things working against them, can the friends work together to escape A Muse Meant? Can Alex help Samm get past her own self-doubt?
