Hi readers!!

Huge news!! My second book, "The Deep End of the Pool" drops 2 weeks from yesterday on THURSDAY FEBRUARY 27th from Pegasus Publishing!!

Star high school swimmer Shannon "Shan" Milne is in an abusive relationship.....and the abuser is his girlfriend. Enter "The Deep End of the Pool" but save your last breath to scream for help. (Recommended for readers 17 and up.)

Pre-orders are available now, or you can order from the publisher: www.pegauspublishers.com

A future giveaway will be happening in the next several week to several lucky readers/followers/supporters! Keep your eyes open!

THANK YOU to everyone who made "Darts and Flowers" a success--your wonderful reviews and support meant so much to me. I hope you'll follow me on this new, much darker journey as I push myself way out of my comfort zone--it's a tough tale (it was hard for me to write some scenes), but I feel it's important to draw attention to a largely unspoken social problem, specifically boys in abusive relationships with female partners. I hope this book helps break some of the silence around the topic.

Again, thanks for your support! Say hi anytime---deanbackusauthor@gmail.com
