Release Blitz: Blues Bones by @RJStarkey with #Giveaway #MGLit @Leapbks
Welcome!
Title: Blues Bones
Author: Rick Starkey
Release Date: March 7, 2016
Genre: Middle Grade, Paranormal, Horror
Armed with the stolen finger bones of a dead blues guitar player and a mishmash of voodoo spells from the Internet, he and his best friend enter a graveyard at midnight to perform their ritual. Now, all that stands in his way of winning a local guitar competition is the power of RETURN – a side effect of the voodoo that spells disaster for Rodney.
His cure has become a curse. How else can he explain jamming his finger so bad he can’t hold a guitar pick, his part-time dad stealing his guitar, and his mom getting into an accident that could have taken her life?
How much is Rodney willing to risk to achieve his dream of being a guitar legend?

I wanted to be a doctor. But I'm not now that I grew up. It's sad.
ReplyDeleteI actually could not decide. I ended up nursing.
ReplyDeleteWhat DO, not DID, I want to be when I grow up? I'm afraid I'm pretty much as grown up as I'm going to be and I can't think of anything other than being a world traveler. I'd love to experience different countries, their food and history.
