I signed a publishing contract with Dancing Lemur Press for my middle-readers (ages 8 to 12) historical novel, Stone Man: Trail of Tears. It will be released in October 2019 in paperback and eBook formats.
After Twelve-year-old Tsatsi and his sister separate from their family during the Cherokee Trail of Tears, a giant Tsatsi thinks is Stone Man drags her to his lair. Tsatsi fights him, dodges renegades, and hides from soldiers as he and his sister try to reunite with their family in the Smoky Mountains.
Though Dancing Lemur Press welcomes bookstore and book signing sales, their focus is in school and library sales.

Today is day 2 of Banned Books Week. I urge you to go online and read the lists of banned books (too numerous to list here). And I am not talking about pornographic books. And read a banned book. But my books haven’t been banned yet (I don’t think).
