Green Grass

This is my first young adult book. My grandkids kept asking me for one of my books and they were all full of adult words, thoughts, and actions—clearly not appropriate for young readers. So I wrote this one. I’m sure you’ve heard the cliché about the grass always being greener. Sometimes it’s true—sometimes it’s not. It’s usually a little more complicated than that. There are no adult words beyond what I hear tweens use every day. And no sex beyond holding hands, giving hugs, and kissing. While the book contains some violence and death, it is not graphic and I feel it is presented in a way that most young readers would understand without getting disturbed. However, being a young reader book doesn’t mean that the plots and subplots are not interesting. Susannah and her friends are dropped into the middle of a civil war. There are good people and bad people on both sides of the portal. Deciding who is whom becomes a pretty important question to figure out. After the Earthlings get cloned, things really get complicated. Imagine saying “Hi!” to yourself! So pull up a chair and enter a world of Magic with dragons, mages, and swords. It is called Gleepth. You can only get there once a year, and only for a few minutes. But no one told Susannah that when she stepped into the portal and into a life beyond anything she had ever dreamed. And there was no way back beyond waiting a year for the next window.
