Happy Birthday to THE DEEP!

Today’s the day! You can get your copy of THE DEEP at Rosetta Press (Create Space) or Amazon. The e-book will be available in a couple of weeks. THE DEEP is the second book in what I like to call my “freaks & geeks” trilogy. I’ve already started writing the third book, THE RETURN, and will try to publish that next summer. In the meantime, please do share THE DEEP with the young readers in your life. As an educator I write with reluctant readers in mind; like SHIP OF SOULS, THE DEEP is short and fast-paced, covering a span of three or four days. Most of my community college students don’t read, which breaks my heart. We’ve got to get kids hooked on reading at an early age! And that isn’t likely to happen if we keep feeding them liver and Brussels sprouts—-books that are good for them but not much fun. It’s Thanksgiving today and I’m thankful that I was raised by an avid reader; no one had to convince me that reading was fun. I’m looking forward to visiting schools in December and sharing THE DEEP with teens. There’s nothing more gratifying than wrapping up a reading and hearing a student say, “I’ve GOT to read that book!”
