A Note From the Publisher

Excerpt from Bon Echo and The Competition:

Just then, the dawn's early sun rose with full intensity, and the morning mist quickly burned away. Everyone sat silently in anticipation while contemplating how a dolphin might reveal itself. The undulating waves of the bay lapped against their wooden boats with rhythmic tapping reminiscent of how someone might transmit a secret message from days gone by. As Maven turned to get a better view of the distant escarpment, the oar next to her slipped and fell into the boat, causing a ripple of sound that seemed to spread across the bay's waters. The sound echoed from the towering rock face several hundred feet away, creating a beautiful chamber effect that lingered in the air as it reverberated throughout the cove. Maven whispered in a soft voice. "Guys, the echo actually exists." The small expedition's members sat still to enjoy its enchanting effects. She always wondered about this phenomenon and felt strangely reassured and even fortunate to have finally experienced one of the most captivating mysteries of Bon Echo Bay. But the towering escarpment had even more to offer. The forces of nature and the passage of time had etched intricate patterns and lines upon its rocky face. As the morning sun rays heated its rocky walls, the granite's warm hues increased until they glowed. This light, in turn, cast beautiful reflections across its waters below. This wondrous convergence of space and time was Grandma's cue. "Now, everyone, a unique portal in time has arrived concerning the escarpment. The sun is shining just at the right time and angle, and because of this, the escarpment will reveal one of its mysterious secrets only from our vantage point and only if your mind is open enough to its presence. Grandma pointed at the sheer rock face of the massive escarpment before them. "Now children, tell me, what can you see?"

The central theme of trying to arrest Global Warming will attract many to this book. Personally, the title caught my eye. When I was a youth, I used to hike at Bon Echo in the summer. Always remained a special place to me and suddenly, BAM here's a book titled Bon Echo...

The world-building here is incredible. The author has taken the necessary steps to set the groundwork for a skyscraper of a book series. As you read this book you will get to know Maven and her oft annoying bro. You will get to know their groups of close friends. You will have a hoot meeting Hoot, too.

The creative thought that went into the storyline is impressive. Centered on the need to do something to stop the Climate Crisis, this book nails that issue. Such a well-defined and clearly strident approach, it is lovely to read. I would surmise even those not accepting the fact of Global Warming will enjoy this book.

If you are a reader who is concerned about the future of the planet then read this book. Fans of science-based fiction will love this book. I personally can't wait for book two. Once you read the first book you will be hooked.
