I recently came across this article and was uplifted by the spirit of the dyslexic author, Claire, in not only writing a book, or two - well actually 3! But, she also donates BIG TIME to great UK charities such as Dyslexia Action and Help for Heroes.
Here's an excerpt -
The main aim of World Book Day is to celebrate books and encourage children to explore the pleasures of reading them. The questions and answers session I did with the children at my local secondary school was inspiring. A handful of the children had already read Dead Game so the questions were much tailored to Dead Game’s characters, plot and sequel. That said, they really grasped the emotions that I poured into Dead Game and the questions quickly turned from that of basic ‘plotting the adventure’ questions to ‘the inspiration behind the story’, which fascinated them, it seems, just as much as the actual book did.
Recently I have started reading more new authors and I can assure you that as soon as Marko Kloos' novel is out I'll be buying it.
The link to his latest short story 'Lucky Thirteen' is HERE. I found it very interesting, exciting and believable. Definitely worth a read - now.
What are you waiting for? Click here and read the story. You're reading this blog so why not click here and read Lucky Thirteen NOW?? You'll thank me for it I'm sure.
