Writer Wednesday—Repeat


I’ve mentioned, once or twice, that the fourth book in the REDUCED series will be coming out in March. And it will. Consider this the official announcement!

RECYCLED ended with:

The dark clouds came from the west, boiling and black. The wind whipped across the land, shoving aside everything in its path, everything that wasn’t secure. The man behind that wind, responsible for the coming storm, figuratively if not literally, was safely ensconced behind his walls as he watched the clouds move east.

Unbreachable walls, impenetrable, and this time he would succeed. He laughed wryly at his own wit, comparing himself to every supervillain ever conceived, fictional or otherwise, because he knew without a doubt that he was the best. Indeed, he was the only one of the original plotters still alive, thanks to his planning and foresight and, of course, his intelligence. And VADER. Credit where credit is due, he supposed.

He shrugged. Too bad, really, that so many had died. Yes. Terrible. But it had made his plans so much easier to execute. And now, when they all least expected it, there was one more move to make.

Just one.

Repeat.

So, I thought I’d mention that, while in the tradition of the rest of the series, REPEAT is going to be a bit . . . different. Oh, you’ll like it—I think!

Want a hint?

Are you sure?

Okay:

It starts 40 years after RECYCLED ended. Forty years.

Oh, and the ending? You’ll love that. Especially camp peeps . . .

And that’s all you get, for now—stay tuned for more in the next month or so!

RHP—Bogeyman 101


Calling all middle-graders! Here is your definitive guide to the monster under your bed—or in your closet!

 

Shh! The bogeyman is here! You’d run if you could, but you can’t. You’re curled into a ball, hiding under the covers. Should you scream? Faint? Hold your breath and pretend to be dead?

Nope.

Take a peek at the creature. Does he have one head or thirteen? Is he as tall as a tree? Does he have flippers pointing the wrong way?

Grab your copy of Bogeyman 101 and burrow back under the covers. Click on your flashlight. Flip to the chapter that describes the monster. Find his weaknesses and fight back!

Written by Karen Hokanson Miller, author of Monsters and Water Beasts, this is a handy book to keep on your nightstand. Just in case . . .

And you can get it here, at Rocking Horse Publishing, or in bookstores everywhere!
