Welcome! My theme for the A-Z Blogging Challenge will be middle-grade and young adult fiction. If you’re a writer and would like to have your book featured during the Challenge, drop me an email with your book blurb, cover, your bio and picture. I’ll slot in your book based on the letter of the day. Today is blatant self-promotion day as Christine's Odyssey was written by moi. Christine is a sweet and courageous character you won't soon forget.
