We are inserting the book blurbs for all of Cardeno C’s work. As the two of us were working on them, we found out we had some differences of opinion. We included those as well. We would love to see what you think! So please add your own comments to them.
Maccabe Lieb and Josh Segal have nothing in common, but they’ve been friends forever. Maccabe is an athlete with dreams of playing professional baseball. Josh is a good student with dreams of being with Maccabe. Then both dreams come true. Maccabe and Josh fall into a passionate long-distance romance, and after years of hiding from the world, Josh wants to bring their relationship into the open. When Maccabe refuses, Josh is faced with a tough decision: stay with the man he loves or live the life he deserves. Somebody's bound to get hurt, but in the season of miracles, there's always hope for a happy ending.
Personalized Blurb:
How long can first love last? How many mistakes do you get to make before you realize that you can’t afford to lose him? What happens when you might already be too late?
(I actually emailed CC to ask how to pronounce Maccabe’s name. And then I asked what the national orgin the name was. I did that. CC linked me info. --Rach) (Ok. That’s a nice story, are you going to share the answer with the rest of the class? --Selina)
(I like your story. It fits so well with the storyline. I like that CC is clever and thinks about these things. --Selina) (I don’t think CC would have gotten the story selected for the advent anthology if it wasn’t Decemberish holiday stuff.--Rach) (Well yeah. That would probably be how they get into an advent anthology. Did I say it wrong or something? --Selina) (Nope you’re good.--Rach)
