SECRET OF THE LAUREL CROWN

by ANDREA MACVICAR

The note on the old shoebox read: "Carolyn, I bought this at a garage sale. I know how tough life has been for you these past months. I thought this might help a sad girl smile. Love, Gram." Carolyn lifted the lid and dumped its contents. Five hundred pieces of the jigsaw puzzle tumbled out onto the worn yellow wool blanket. As she pushed the pieces aside, a folded parchment—its edges ragged with age—caught in a small hole.

Picking it up carefully so as not to tear the creases, she unfolded it and read the words in faded black, handwritten script: "he agape nikai panta. The Laurel Crown shall choose the wearer. Be warned. Beware of the Baal Contract."

Was the secret message about the puzzle? Maybe the message had nothing to do with the puzzle. Somebody from a foreign country could’ve put it into the box later on. But why? And who? In seeking answers to those questions, Carolyn and her brother Jimmy’s adventures begin on the planet of Double Suns.

It is now avaiable in book and ebook format from Amazon, Barnes and Noble, West Bow Press, etc.

BOOK REVIEWS

 "The concept here is original and fun. These are heartfelt poems.  They reflect the poet's insight into life and the human (and canine) heart.  A professional looking book of poetry has the following checklist: table of contents, (not totally needed in this format but might be good) interesting back material, strong cover image, and biographical note of the author.  This collection has all of these which contribute to the overall good look."  Book review: Writer's Digest magazine.
 
 “Rich in vocabulary.” Debbie Divich, Media Specialist.
 
“It is a real sweet story about family love and a loving pet. I initially thought that it would be kind of cheesy to write a full book in rhyme, but I was really impressed.” Karen Granger, Public Speaker.
 
“The story is charming and uniquely told in rhyme which is difficult to do without sounding ‘forced.’” Janeen Pelser, Manager Library Media Services.
 
“My daughter wanted me to read the book to her in one sitting.” Mother who bought the book for her daughter and returned the next week to share her reaction.
 
“I like the book.” Dr. John Myers, Author.
