Princess Breeze Cover Reveal

I would like to introduce you to a very talented writer and friend of mine - Beverly Stowe McClure.

This is the cover reveal for her latest tween/teen  novel. 

Isn't it a great cover?

Here is the back cover blurb for PRINCESS BREEZE:

For months, Breeze Brannigan has heard nothing from Cam, the prince she met at school, who disappeared one night, without telling her goodbye. On the night she graduates from middle school, however, he contacts her and invites her to visit Isla del Fuego, his home. Who could refuse such an invitation?

Breeze along with her whole family and best friends, Amy and Allison, soon sail to the island, where she and Cam renew their friendship. But danger lurks; a legend comes to life; and Breeze finds herself in the middle of a battle that can have one winner.

This novel is the sequel to Just Breeze, the girl that started it all. If you haven't met Breeze and her friends, they can be found at Amazon, Barnes and Noble, and most places books are sold.

The release date hasn't been announced yet for Princess Breeze, so there are no links.

Most of the time, you’ll find Award-Winning Author Beverly Stowe McClure at her computer, typing stories young voices whisper in her ears.  When she’s not writing, she’s snapping pictures of wildlife, flowers, and clouds. She’s affectionately known as the “Bug Lady.” She’s not telling why. To relax she plays the piano. Her fur babies don’t appreciate good music and hide when she tickles the ivories.

Beverly is a member of the Society of Children’s Book Writers and Illustrators. She also teaches a women’s Sunday school class at her church.

What Have You Been Reading?

I've been reading:

Ghost Buddy by Henry Winkler and Lin Oliver
 I haven't finished it yet, but I like what I am reading.

How to Steal a Dog by  Barbara O'Connor
Finished and liked it. The ending was a little different than I thought it was going to be, but I guess that is good - the ending wasn't predictable.

Caves, Cannons and Crinolines by Beverly Stowe McClure
Finished and liked it. If you like MG historical fiction, I would recommend this one to you. I won this book written by a fellow blogger and cyber friend.

The books pictured above I have either won (Caves, Cannons and Crinolines) or bought at a thrift store or library. The Ripley and Sissonville Library have shelves where they sell books cheap (25 cents each) or ask for a donation. I spend most of my time in thrift stores in the book section. I find some of the best books there.

Three of the above books, The Tale of Benjamin Bunny, Under the Sun and the Moon and John, Paul, George and Ben, are like new.

I found Bird by Bird at the Sissonville Library and paid 25 cents for it. I had heard of this book, but never read it before. As it states on the front cover, it is - Some Instructions on Writing and Life by Anne Lamott. I have read portions of it and am learning about the many aspects of writing. I know some people will think this is crazy and would not approve, but I have penciled out some of the words while reading this book. I don't use certain words when I talk and don't like reading them, so I just mark through them. If you have read this book, you know the words I mean.

The Margaret Wise Brown book, Under the Sun and the Moon is a children's poetry book with simply beautiful illustrations! I love it. Tom Leonard illustrated this book and on the back-flap it stated that this was his first picture book. He did a great job.

What have you been reading?
Do you have luck finding books you love at the thrift store and library shelves?
