I am close to publishing a middle grade / young adult novel. This was prompted by my experience teaching. My last ten years teaching were spent in a Parent Partnership K-12. I taught history and other classes including a literature class based on mid to late Twentieth Century YA novels. Many of my students came from ultra-conservative families that rejected stories with magical elements or paranormal creatures such as Dragons and Elves. As a Christian parent, I was not without sympathy. With those students in mind, I've written this story.
It has subtle Christian elements. We follow the main character through adventures and difficulties in a medieval-like setting. She encounters dilemmas through which she references her parents' instruction. She's an orphan girl, and we follow her from age eleven and fourteen.
During one of my worst health collapses I wrote Falcon's Crown: Kidnapped. I will publish it using my Fluttering Wings Press imprint. I need a volunteer or two to proof read it. Any takers?

Wonderful idea, dear Bruce! I remember reading to my children "Ransom for a knight" - no dragon, no fantasy, just pure adventure. It opened their mind for the treasures of our history. Your book will be very helpful!
Dear Bruce
I would like to give this story to my granddaughter
so the person best suited to edit it would be my daughter-in-law (her mother), who was educated in English schools
Is this text too long?
How can we get a copy?
Is it possible to download it?
