Have You Read My Novel?

Dear Readers,

This book is the result of synthesis. To make it, I combined all kinds of things. At its core is child’s play – or my memories of it, growing up at the Indiana Dunes, a place I really believe to be Magic.

Poured in healthy portions, Schleprockness – or at least my experience of it, a certain special kind of luck I learned about from my parents.

Sprinkled throughout is fellowship: for even though what follows is utter fiction, there would be no story if not for the good folks who inspired it.

And I mustn’t forget the big event, which all Millennials will remember – as it happens.

But for a dash of real madness, the rest just took a lot of time – to write from inside the thick stew of a creative mind, till I wound up with something I felt was worth my while.

I hope you find it to be –

Happy Reading,

@bykaileyann

Book Description

_{In the summer of 2001, a seven year old girl named Mily trips head-first into a patch of Pitcher’s thistle. She loses almost all her marbles from the fall, and winds up with magic bugs in her brain.}

_{The bugs, which Mily and her friends call ‘Clairs,’ grant her various clairvoyances—giving Mily a higher sense of awareness in her everyday life. Knowing no one would believe her, she keeps it a secret from the grown-ups.}

_{A global turn of events cloisters Mily and her family underground, far away from any thistle plants. There, in the Land of Far-Fetched, the Clairs reveal their true purpose for Mily.}
