PARTY TIME IN GATLINBURG TENNESSEE!
Local author Rick Starkey will celebrate the release of his
debut middle grade novel “Blues Bones” (Leap Books) on Saturday, May 28 from 4
p.m. – 6 p.m. at Make it Magic, 1120 Glades Rd. in the Arts and Crafts
Community, Gatlinburg, TN.
Starkey will be at the magic shop from 10 a.m. until 6 p.m.
with the party kicking off at 4 p.m. There will be door prizes throughout the
day along with magic tricks. The party starts at 4 p.m. with door prizes,
snacks and a reading by Rick. The reading will be followed by a question and
answer session about the book and anything writing.
In “Blues Bones”, set in Pigeon Forge, Tennessee,
thirteen-year-old Rodney Becker has found the perfect cure for stage fright.
Armed with the stolen finger bones of a dead blues guitar player and a mishmash
of spells from the Internet, Rodney and his best friend enter a graveyard at
midnight to perform their ritual. What seems like a great idea at the time
backfires into disaster! How much is Rodney willing to risk to achieve his
dream of being a guitar legend?
Starkey is a graduate of Sevier County High School and the
Institute of Children's Literature. His work has appeared in the popular
children’s magazine, Highlights for Children.
My daughter finished Blues Bones today and she'll be reviewing it on my blog next week. :)
ReplyDeleteI can't wait to read her review. Maybe she will let us share it here too.
