Vacation time. Whether you go to the beach, the mountains, or the river for a weekend. Maybe you take a little time off to relax at home. No matter where you are, summer is the perfect time to catch up on your reading. And I thought I’d share some books that are less than $5.00 during the first week of June.
I’m excited to announce that one of them will be mine. Smoking Flax will be discounted to $1.99 from June 3rd to June 10th. A wonderful opportunity to check out Reed’s emotion-packed story.
Smoking Flax
Who Is He–Really?
Almost nineteen-year-old Reed Anderson wants to belong in a world where he hasn’t always fit. Three days after graduation, he decides to ride a bus back to Louisiana and deal with the events of his thirteenth summer once and for all. Back then, he’d stood up to his abusive Pa, protecting Momma and his sister, taking control of his life. But who was the faded image of the child he saw that day? Aunt Lula predicted his life would shift and change. Something about space-time-continuum and the fourth dimension? He tucks her words into his heart. If he survives the shift, this could be his chance to start over. But the ghost child haunts his dreams. Even though six years have passed, does he want to confront the lies he’s always believed?
