Today’s question:
Has your writing ever taken you by surprise? For example, a positive and belated response to a submission you'd forgotten about or an ending you never saw coming?
The only thing that really surprised me was how easily I took to writing non-fiction after writing fiction my whole life.

The genre is middle grade historical – adventure/fantasy.
For those who are confused by the genre:
Middle grade – suitable for 9 – 14 year-old children.
Historical – it must have historical aspects and be set in a time before 2000 or earlier. It just needs to be set in the past.
Adventure/fantasy – the subgenre can be either adventure OR fantasy. The fantasy genre is acceptable as there are many ancient cultures and times that believed in supernatural occurrences.

We have one review copy left of Stone Man: And the Trail of Tears. It’s a historical middle grade book geared towards boys.
If you are interested in reviewing it and perhaps featuring the author on his blog tour, left me know in the comments.

I’d like to end with some photos from Dancing Lemur Press’ recent cons. Both were huge successes.
