YOU DON'T HAVE TO FACE THE WITCH HOUSE ALONE
Jayla Jackson is a witch. Or is she?
She dresses in black, has zero friends, is super-smart, and doesn't fit in.
But that doesn't make her a witch...
...right?
When Jayla's English teacher makes her class start writing in journals for class-but says they don't have to tell the truth in them-Jayla boldly declares that she's a witch.
She starts making up spells, talking about her familiar (a ghost cat), and writing stories about all the terrible things she's done. She didn't mean to hurt anyone, she says, but that doesn't make her feel any better.
Her English teacher just smiles and praises her for being creative.
But Jayla has real secrets hiding underneath her made-up confessions.
There is a witch in town.
And Jayla must face her if she wants to save her family and her new friend, Lola, too.
A middle-grade novel about finding one's own strength in the face of overwhelming magic. Read it now!

Every summer as kids, we would host one group of cousins or another and jump off hay bales, create mazes by crawling the patterns through the tall grass, and steal green apples out of the garden. We also branded calves, killed chickens, and stole steak knives to threaten skunks with. But that's growing up on a farm for you.
Now I write fantasy, science fiction, and horror--and most of it comes from the worlds that I created as a farm kid, one way or another.
My first novel, Choose Your Doom: Zombie Apocalypse, was published by Doom Press in 2010 and can be purchased through Meta Geek.
