Ivy's Epilepsy
Active verbs: Dash, Discern, Direct, Devour. May you dash through your writing w/success, direct your protagonist through tragedies, use discerning language, & may your audience devour your work! New adds on my website, newsletter tab, recipes and blog. http://colleenbooks.com
Getting great review on Amazon - Many thanks to the reviewer:
Ivy’s Epilepsy is an easy and informative read, providing critical and useful information for young teens coping with this disease. The author of the ADA legislation, Hon. Tony Coehlo, has given his endorsement for Ivy’s Epilepsy, which also encouraged me to read the book. I found the seizure diary and the info on sleep and meditation particularly interesting, along with the emphasis on the importance of a team working on behalf of the patient. Of course, the bond between Ivy and her alert dog was a joy to read; along with learning about the special training Audie needed and the service Audie provided. A worthwhile read. 5 stars; highly recommend.

Against the Machine: Evolution
Author, Brian Van Norman, has just released his 3rd book in his trilogy, titled: Against the Machine: Evolution.
Here’s a quick peak at one of the reviews: “This grabs your attention right from the start, and doesn’t let go for a moment. The world-building is extensive and seamless, and surrounds you immediately. Set in the future, it seems to show the inevitable result of the way things are trending today. The plot moves along smoothly, with enough tension and twists that you’ll be reluctant to set this down for even a moment. Although this is the third book in a series, you don’t need to read the other two before diving in to this remarkable novel.” Against the Machine: Evolution
