1) If you'd like to play along at home, it's much cooler to practice Tex's witchcraft spells while holding an actual book as opposed to an E-Reader. Just something old-school witchiness about it.

Say hello to the new boss!
This new cover captures the content of the tale much better: Mysterious, dangerous, forboding, BOOYAH! Charlie knocked it out of the park.
Here! First reveal:
That's what I'm talkin' about!
3) Finally, it recently came to my attention that YA readers (teenagers, early 20's) don't read e-books! GASP! Shocker, I know. Usually, every teen I know has their nose buried in some electronic gadget 24-7. You practically have to set yourself on fire to grab their attention and then it's only for a fleeting moment. (Just pray they're interested enough to call the Fire Department).
But, this is especially important as the theme of the book is about anti-bullying, a powerful message that I'd like to see reach the proper audience. Now the book has a chance of getting into libraries and, ultimately, teens' hands.
So, if you know a teen who's being bullied, buy the book for them. If you want teens to know they're not alone, that they have options, let 'em read this book. The books doesn't preach or talk down, nothing but the sometimes harsh truth. I should know. All bullying incidents detailed within either happened to me or a friend of mine.
Available now: Tex, the Witch Boy
I bought two copies for two school libraries. It's on its way. Can't wait!
ReplyDeleteThanks so much, Suzanne! You're a peach amongst unicorns. Um, or something.
