I did the thing!

After 20 years of writing, I feel I’ve done something truly worthwhile. ‘Tig & Lily’ is a middle grade chapter book, suitable for all ages and a quick fun read for adults:

Lily is 11 years old when she hears a 1 week old kitten crying outside her window, abandoned by its mother.  But as she helps raise him, she finds an ageless trickster god has been trapped in the helpless body of this growing cat, and, as he gets his immense powers back, she must teach him what it means to love before he puts everyone in danger.

There’s a link in the bio to Amazon if you want a copy, especially if you know a young reader in the 9-13 range.  It’s already gotten at least one kid to fall in love with reading and another is on her fifth read. (You can get a free Kindle sample, if you want the e-book for free just message me). 

I plan to write for young readers for the rest of my life-  My intention is for readers to go on a fun fantastical journey and perhaps learn some foundational mental health skills along the way. 

Infinite thanks to the real Lily for inspiring me and for giving the book its heart.

Knowing anyone is reading this means everything to me, so feel free to message me and stay in touch!

Congrats, Austin! I think you need to update the audience age range, because I’m a little over 13 and absolutely loved it :) Was very fun to spy some character influence in there from friends! And you did such a fantastic job weaving in profound life lessons amidst young reader humor. Among many other things. Bravo 👏
