YA Indie Spotlight: David Michael

Hi Everyone!

Great news! For the next two months I will be featuring a YA indie author on both Tuesdays and Fridays. Double the indie love!

So without further ado, today I'm pleased to introduce author David Michael.

David is promoting his YA novel: The Girl Who Ran with Horses.



SUMMARY 

It's summer vacation and all 13-year-old Stevie Buckbee wants is to be close to her family again and to ride her horses--especially Jack Rabbit, her first horse all her own. But past tragedies threaten her plans before the summer has a chance to begin. Even as she discovers that she is somehow able to communicate with Jack Rabbit and the other horses on the family ranch, she finds she can no longer get through to her Dad and brother Blake. And what good is it to be able to run with the horses if no matter how fast and how far she runs, everything she knows and loves is lost? 

RATING: PG (for minor language, drinking)

With the 13-year-old protagonist, this book looks like it will appeal to the younger YA/tween demographic. The reviews look great, and it comes highly recommended for any horse lover. It is priced at $4.99.
