Hey Everyone! I’m sorry I haven’t been around,
but I swear, it’s been for a good cause! I’ve been working extra hard editing,
writing and well, living life. I must also take a moment and apologize for this post, I know, it's all weird, the format is off, the fact that these words are white with a black background... I tried, and tried to get it right, but, to avail. Sorry :(
But today I have a special treat, I’d like to
introduce you to fellow Crescent Moon Press Author, Wendy S. Russo and her
novel January Black!
Check out this super awesome cover (LOVE!) and
it’s super awesome blurb (LOVE X 2)
Sixteen-year-old
genius Matty Ducayn has never fit in on The Hill, an ordered place seriously
lacking a sense of humor. After his school’s headmaster expels him for a small
act of mischief, Matty’s future looks grim until King Hadrian comes to his
rescue with a challenge: answer a question for a master’s diploma.
More than a second chance, this means freedom. Masters can choose where they work, a rarity among Regents, and the question is simple.
What was January Black?
It’s a ship. Everyone knows that. Hadrian rejects that answer, though, and Matty becomes compelled by curiosity and pride to solve the puzzle. When his search for an answer turns up long-buried state secrets, Matty’s journey becomes a collision course with a deadly royal decree. He's been set up to fail, which forces him to choose. Run for his life with the challenge lost...or call the king’s bluff.

wait! If you have your super secret spy goggles on and spot the hidden link
within this post, it will take you to an even longer BETTER excerpt, but you’ll
need the super secret password, that I’ll even give you a hint for: in all
lowercase, you must know the main characters first name!
