I'm delighted to be one of the bloggers who will today feature New Beginnings by Rebecca Emin.
Everything you need about the novel and links to Rebecca's site can be found below.
I think as writers we often have to address difficult subjects, and in this case, Rebecca's novel tells the story of Sam Hendry who needs to overcome something which many of us are sadly only too familiar with, bullying of young children.
Today is the official publication day of New Beginnings by Rebecca Emin - so please give her lots of support and check it out here!
Join Rebecca on her blog Ramblings of a Rusty Writer to find all of the details of how she is planning to celebrate today, or you can read some reviews of the book itself on Amazon.co.uk or Amazon.com
You may like to visit some of the other blogs helping Rebecca to celebrate today too.
About New Beginnings
Sam Hendry is not looking forward to starting at her new school. Things go from bad to worse as the day of truth arrives and all of her fears come true... and then some.
When Sam meets a different group of people who immediately accept her as a friend, she begins to feel more positive.
With her new friends and interests, will Sam finally feel able to face the bully who taunts her, and to summon up the courage to perform on stage?

Sounds like a compelling and potentially tragic story, one too common in our culture.
ReplyDeleteHi Stephen, it was partly knowing so many people who have been bullied that inspired me to write the book. I'm also donating 10% of my profits to Bullying UK for that same reason. Thank you for your comment.
DeleteFor sure Stephen-a topic which affects so many, and such a great positive title:)
ReplyDeleteGood for Rebecca, wishing her great success with such a great subject for a book:)
