My dear friend Barb has had her second book, Whistle Bright Magic, published, and it comes out today!
It's a fairy story in at least two ways -- the obvious way is that there are fairies in it, but it's also the story of a mother who stays at home with her kids, writes a book in her spare time, and it gets snapped up by Harper Collins. I'm sure she'd disagree with the term "snapped up", because there was a lot of hard work involved, but her friends like to see it as a modern day miracle in a good way, and it couldn't have happened to a more deserving author or person.
If you have young readers (8-12) in your life, check it out. It's a sweet story with a little magic, a lot of interesting characters, and a happy ending, which, when you think about it, is probably just like your life. I will confess that I got a little teary reading it because it was so well done and tender.
Available everywhere, starting today...

Thank You, Betsy, for the nice nod! You make me feel all special.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great story - parallels Ms. Rowling to a tee. If you want to check out a fantasy series for the same age group, look here: http://www.conorandthecrossworlds.com
