[LOCAL AUTHOR SPOTLIGHT] We had the opportunity to visit with local author Adrian Gonzalez, author of 'The Lola Derez S.T.E.M. Series' for young adults ages 10-18. Details are below, and links to social media and to purchase the book are in the first comment of this post.
Experience the world of Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math through the eyes of a fictional teenage friend.
Through these stories, we have an opportunity to influence the life of a middle grade child (ages 10 and up) in a way that could completely reshape their destiny. How, you ask? The mission of these books is to expose the young reader to the world of S.T.E.M. in a way that is fun, meaningful, and relevant to their lives. For some who read these stories, their world will blossom with new possibilities for study, work, career, and personal calling.
Enter Lola's world, where she learns about the natural world of creation around her while discovering who she is as a person. Her many adventures take her to places and situations where she's forced to use curiosity, smarts, and science or math to solve mysteries or help people in need.
Don't let Lola's exciting adventures end with you! Talk about this book series and website to parent(s) or guardian(s) of children in middle-school and early high-school (ages 10 to 18).
This book series for teens and tweens is designed to raise awareness of the physical and chemical world around them, and the direct connections they have to it. Presented in a fictional story format, concepts that seem boring and irrelevant to young readers are presented in the familiar context of a fictional teenager's life. More topics and themes can be presented in this format than there are elements in the periodic table!
The book series isn't a replacement for traditional science/math textbooks. Rather, it's a fun and engaging complement to traditional learning experiences. Its purpose is to remove the 'mystery' of science and math from two groups of students. Thos
[LOCAL AUTHOR SPOTLIGHT] We had the opportunity to visit with local author Audra McElyea, author of 'One Little Word'. Details are below, and links to social media and to purchase the book are in the first comment of this post.
"It's not easy to hit me with a twist I don't see coming, but Audra McElyea did it in One Little Word, a clever and compelling tale from an author to watch." - Kimberly Belle, USA Today bestselling author of The Marriage Lie
"One Little Word is a riveting suspense novel packed with sharp turns and unexpected twists. Single mother and widow Madeleine Barton is the perfect protagonist, capturing your heart and bringing you along for this crazy, thrilling ride. Audra McElyea is one to watch!" - Samantha Downing, #1 internationally bestselling author of My Lovely Wife
Allegra Hudson was murdered.
An anonymous “source” drops the note into recently widowed Madeleine Barton’s lap exactly when she needs it most. As a new single mother, she is struggling to make ends meet as a freelance reporter, and covering the mysterious death of local bestselling author Allegra Hudson could be the career-launching story of her dreams.
Working with Allegra’s grieving husband, Connor, Madeleine plunges down the rabbit hole of the writer’s privileged life. The deeper she digs, the more dirt she finds: a conniving best friend, a stalker ex-boyfriend, and a marriage in shambles. The closer Madeleine gets to the truth, the murkier the waters become.
Her source’s looming presence and constant meddling in her investigation paired with her growing bond with Connor over their shared grief have blinded her to the facts, but nothing explains why Allegra Hudson’s life feels so familiar. Only one thing is certain: Madeleine can trust no one.
One Little Word is a deliciously clever game of cat-and-mouse with a completely unexpected twist.
