This is great, Barbara! Great work! Feel free to share about it in the Facebook group Crones With Pens also.
Thank you for sharing this. I didn't know anything about these gangs of boys. I have your book in my TBR list.
For those interested in Literary Fantasy:I did my best to define Literary Fiction here: https://habyrd.com/blog/

It's fun--and full of beautiful cover art.
Enjoy!

Take a look!
Hi Carolyn, welcome to the Goodreads CWP group! Your book looks great--it has good reviews! Maybe you'll be inspired to promote it again, too. https://www.amazon.com/Sidesplittin-B...
Welcome to the Goodreads Crones With Pens, Denise! Thank you for sharing the link to your blog. I love your blog, and I'm now one of your many followers.I hope you'll let your writers group know about Crones With Pens!
Thank you, Jane. Aru's Realm is definitely different! Old-fashioned in some ways, but written with modern awareness. It reminds people of The Wizard of Oz, The Hobbit, and Animal Farm!
You have my friendship to your page now, though. Right? On my end I received confirmation yesterday. FB can be a little strange.
edit: Jane, by the way: Maybe add Golden Ears to this group's Bookshelf (see bottom of main group page.) I have Golden Ears on my TBR list.
Great! I've requested to be a friend for your author page. It's fun getting to know other authors, and their histories, from around the world. For me, this is turning out to be the best part of writing, aside from sharing my art. Here is a link to my website, which tells about me and about my story Aru's Realm. https://habyrd.com/
I also have a FB author page, and I'd love it if you'd check it out because it doesn't get much traffic! : ) I'm a slow learner when it comes to publicity, apparently. https://www.facebook.com/ArusRealm/
I look forward to interacting with you here and on our pages!

Welcome to the Goodreads counterpart of the FB group, Diane and Ellen! I apologize for taking so long to see these posts!
Welcome to the group, Jane!I'm not feeling my age, either, other than the effects of covid.
I was twelve in 1972 and lived in an old Victorian in Surrey, BC. I had a pony, and my mom ran a small alternative school in our downstairs. Among the happy memories of those days are the views of Golden Ears.
Your book sounds fantastic. What a cool thing to write about. My fantasy novel features grey wolves, also, but I imagine my story is much more "out there," so to speak.
If you use Facebook at all, you might be interested in our group there, and also the associated directory. I'm so thankful though, that you've joined this group on Goodreads, as I'm hoping it will grow!
The best of luck to you! We are happy to have you here.

I know what you mean about the word "elder." Language and our feelings about it say a lot about our society. When we want to describe people middle-aged and older, we don't have much to work with. All this leads to the use of the word "crones!"
My blog is here: https://habyrd.com/If you are an elder woman, please add yours to our list!
Readers, I hope you'll enjoy these blogs!
I have a lifelong love of fantasy, but at a young age grew frustrated with the overwhelming focus on war.Aru's Realm is a literary-style story that reads somewhat like an old-time fantasy novel, but has powerful female characters and a contemporary awareness.
It's a fun and artful journey. Every chapter brings a different color to mind.

Elder female authors, here is the place to offer descriptions of your books and links to where they are available.Also, feel free to add your book to our group's "Bookshelf." >>>>>
If you love to read, this group (along with the associated Facebook group of the same name) is a great place to find the wisdom that elder females have to share! If you happen to be a woman of middle age or older who has a blog or some books to showcase, well then this is a place to do so!
