Cover Reveal: Bullies and Soggy Soup Bones

I accidentally wrote a short story called Bullies and Soggy Soup Bones. Date of release is set for 1 December 2014. This tale is a bit different to my usual genres of fantasy and the supernatural. It’s about bullying and about how it feels to be bullied.

 

The plot description is pretty succinct:

 

A tale about a boy and his dog, about bullies and soggy soup bones, and about finding courage in the unlikeliest of places.

 

The cover was designed by James aka Humble Nations at GoOnWrite.com:

 

 

Although the story is purely fictional I do have memories of being bullied. These are not comfortable memories. And yet they are tolerable because of time and age, and because I dealt with the bullies at the time. I didn’t always win, but neither did they escape unscathed. Yet, I still remember the fear. A palpable fear that is both pervasive and unrelenting, even when you do stand up for yourself. This is a story about finding courage despite that fear.

 

I've tried to capture that emotional turmoil honestly without glamorizing it or making it sound easy. I hope I succeeded in doing so.

 

Bullies and Soggy Soup Bones is available for pre-order at Amazon. And for a measly buck it's almost a giveaway.

 

I really hope you enjoy it.
