I’m pleased to announce that the second book in the Boone Series, Matching Scars, is now available as an audiobook from the fine folks at Audible. It, along with Pushing Back (the first book in the series), can be found on the Audible website and as a purchase option on Amazon. We’re already working on Keeping Secrets, the third book in the series, and plan to release it in late August or early September. The voice actor, Tim Tidball, continues to do outstanding work in bringing Boone and the other characters to life.
If you’re looking for a summer read (or listen), I hope you’ll consider checking out the Boone Series. Boone’s story, told in first person present tense, takes the reader/listener through the coming of age of an Appalachian teen who, at sixteen, is entering the adult world facing long odds. From the disintegration of his family early in Pushing Back, forcing him into an adult world he’s not at all ready for, through the next five years and the beginnings of his understanding the real meaning of family and his first solid steps into maturity in the sixth and final book in the series, this first person account of an Appalachian teenager looks at the world through his eyes. A coming of age series that shows Boone struggling to move beyond his relationship with his abusive father and make his own way in a world that at first he doesn’t understand.
Suitable for mid-teens and up; adult themes/situations and realistic language.
