Because my passion is books for middle grade and young adults, and because I am completely in love with a book called, The Ninja Librarian by Rebecca M. Douglass
I reviewed her book awhile back and am looking forward to the sequel which she promises me she is making progress on, :)

Hi there Duffy,
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for helping promo our awesome ebook.
It's sincerely appreciated.
Cheers
Hey there -
ReplyDeletejust came across your blog and wanted to say how cool it is that your books feature a protagonist with cerebral palsy! This is an important (and seldom told) perspective for kids to hear as they develop into mature and empathetic young adults. I think the cerebral palsy community would love to hear about this - maybe you can share it on the CP Family Network facebook page. Anyway, keep it up - this looks awesome!
