I did know that, Just forgot that is what it is called.

oh, wait---is it the age that is unlucky? I know those. But not off the top of my memory. I think 33 for women? Or something?

All I know is that it was true for me. lol

This is the first one I self-published. Set at a Catholic school---bc I went to a Catholic school. It doesn't have any religious elements, though.

The dog in the library---that's based on a real dog that was kept in our librarian by the nun who worked there. IRL the dog was mean, too. lol

Aw, thank you so much!!!! Yes, there is a paperback. I set it at the lowest price I could, for both U.S. and Japan. (I did Japan separately bc if the price is same as U.S. dollars, it's VERY expensive in yen.) Here's the link for Japan:

4. The print in that comic panel uses bold print, too.

That link in previous post is from:

I am obviously passionate about this. I do really, really want kids to be able to read books and find it fun to do so. All kids.♥️

3. I wrote RAIDER MAYER WON'T GET PUSHED AROUND for kids like my brother or Max Brooks.

Instead of italics, I used bold print in my book (RAIDER MAYER.) I did this because I had researched the best font for kids who have reading issues.

Look at comic:

2. And I think basically the same thing with my brother. My brother read comic books (Marvel.) I don't remember him reading actual books, although he does now as an adult.

My sister and I were HUGE readers. And I mean HUGE.

The difference is that my brother was diagnosed with dyslexia.

4. Amber owns and runs a bookstore. Books!!! Yes, she has a bookstore.📚

When a man comes looking for a book, she feels an instant connection. He comes back again. And yes, Amber thinks he is so hot.

Loved reading this, lots of twists in the plot, great characters, and hot guys that are nice, too.
