Midwest Book Review – Now Live
I am pleased to announce that my new YA fantasy novel, Bobby Ether and the Jade Academy, is now on the recommended reading list for Diane Donovan, Senior Reviewer at Midwest Book Review.
The full review can be found on Donovan’s Bookshelf, part of Donovan’s Literary Services.
Here is a small excerpt from Diane’s review:
The balanced blend of fantasy and action is superb, as is R. Scott Boyer’s ability to juxtapose discovery, tension, and struggle. Even young adults who may have only light familiarity with either fantasy or thriller genres will find Bobby Ether and the Jade Academy fast-paced and thoroughly absorbing, making it a top pick for collections seeking genre-busting, action-packed adventure stories ala Indiana Jones.

Mysterious Galaxy
On Wednesday, I did a book event at Mysterious Galaxy Bookstore in San Diego. What a cool store! The whole store is dedicated to fantasy and scifi, with sections for adults and younger readers. I had some fun roaming the shelves, pointing out some of my favorite authors growing up to some of the fans who showed up for the event. We also had a great time talking about my new YA fantasy, Bobby Ether and the Jade Academy. Plus, I got to meet Kylo Ren (or at least a fan).#BobbyEther #FridayFeeling #ya #writinglife[image error] [image error]
