Spotlight: I've Been Away But Now I am Back........... By Crystal Rants

Dear Readers,

I have been away for a while and I apologize that I left the blog alone and abandon for a while but it was for good cause. I needed time to sort through some life changing events: my mothers passing, new job and my health. For a moment, life was very stressful for me and it was hard to stay focused on myself. When you deal with so many life changing events at once you kind of get lost in the shuffle. I know it has been months since I have been away, but I never forgot my reading family and my love for books and reading has been restored. I am ready to embark on new and exciting stories, new content and authors.

Blurb/Synopsis: Like any fifteen-year-old, Alan Chandler has to deal with the horrors of adolescence—social awkwardness, joblessness, and a father who drives him nuts. But there are some not-so-typical horrors too: His father’s job is to resurrect people as anti-terrorist soldiers. Even though his father keeps warning him that the day will come when he’ll need to take over the family business, Alan is more interested in starting an Undead Wrestling Federation—if only he could keep a corpse on its feet for more than a minute at a time. 

Meanwhile, troubles are brewing in the Middle East. A mad dictator threatens to start World War III, and Alan knows that if his father leaves for war, he won’t be coming back. Not alive anyway. With the future at stake, Alan must choose between his adolescent dreams and becoming the leader his father needs him to be. He needs to find himself and understand how his powers work...before it’s too late.
