Young Adult Novel BLINDSIDED now on Kindle Scout's promotional platform
On September 12th, I will
launch my Young Adult Romance novel Blindsided on Amazon’s new publishing
program called Kindle Scout. I hope that many of you will support me in this
effort by going to their site and read the excerpt and book description. Here
are some of the things you might be interested in and my motivation for writing
the book.
A book like Blindsided
requires an inordinate amount of research because of the nature of the subject.
I wanted to be as accurate as I could from a medical standpoint without
weighing the reader down with too many statistical facts. I also wanted to know
why there were some who felt they were born in the wrong body, and how this
conclusion came into being. Was it peer pressure, a desire to be different, or
were the beliefs about their own body and orientation valid. It was interesting
to explore the reason so many feel threatened by those who are different from
the rest of us. This also gave me an opportunity to ponder the fact that there
are vast numbers of people who have objections to those who are ‘different’
based on religion, ethnicity, or gender, yet are tolerant concerning some other
kinds of behavior that should be an issue to all of us. Bullying is never
acceptable for any reason, although there is far too much of it occurring at
schools, on social media and wherever people come in contact with others. I
think it is fair to tell you that my research caused me to examine my own
values on a variety of subjects.
Please take the time to read
the excerpt and click the ‘Nominate Me’ button. It will make it possible for me
to win a publishing contract with Kindle Scout. Those who participate will
receive a free copy of the book at a later date.
