Introducing Everton Miles is Stranger than Me, the sequel to The Strange Gift of Gwendolyn Golden, shortlisted for the OLA Red Maple Award! Book 2 is forthcoming from Dundurn Press this October, and the series is called The Night Flyer's Handbook . I'm really proud of book 2; I re-read Milton's Paradise Lost and Dante's Inferno to help shape my fallen Spirit Flyer. It's been interesting and great fun to write. Who doesn't love the fallen angel storyline?


Here's the book blurb:

'I wander around like any normal, paranoid sef-absorbed teenager. Do we all think we're being chased by deadly entities, I wonder? Probably, but how many of us actually are?'

Gwendolyn Golden, Night Flyer, floats over the cornfields all summer. What draws her to the same spot, night after night? All she knows for sure, is that change is coming: she's starting high school, plus there's a strange new boy in town.

He's Everton Miles, and he's a Night Flyer, too.

Soon the mismatched teenagers face dangers they never imagined, including a fallen Spirit Flyer, kidnap, and the eternal darkness of the Shade. How will Gwendolyn handle her new life and grade nine? With help from The Night Flyer's Handbook, and her strange new friend, it might not be that hard.
