Valley of the Bees Kirkus Listing
Donation protected
After three years of writing, revising, and editing, my novel, "Valley of the Bees," is scheduled to release on March 1, 2017! I am raising this money to pay for a review and listing with Kirkus Reviews (https://www.kirkusreviews.com/), which is a HUGE first step in marketing the book. I can get $100 off if I am able to purchase my review by 12/31/16. Otherwise, I would like to raise these funds by 1/31/17 in order for the review to come out around the same time that the book is released.
The following is the description of the novel:
In a world where honeybees are all but extinct, Valley has spent her entire life in the tranquil river bottoms where her family camps out every summer and grows more food than most folks can dream of. But, that’s all about to change on her sixteenth birthday when her Uncle Jacob informs her that she will be marrying the son of the powerful mayor of a nearby town.
When Valley agrees to meet the boy and give him a chance, she is plunged into the intrigues of an unforgiving village where women are treated like property. In the midst of a plague outbreak, Valley must fight for her father’s life and for the right to make her own decisions, all while learning that her family life is not as idyllic as she always thought it was.
This print edition of Valley of the Bees includes all three eBooks in one beautiful text! Learn more about this novel project on my website at http://www.valleyofthebees.com/!
Thank you so much for your support! Every $25+ donation will receive a signed copy of the book upon its release, as long as the donor includes their name and provides me with a valid mailing address (U.S. addresses only) to ship the book to. Thank you for helping me make my writing dreams come true!
