Status Updates From The Stallion and His Peculi...

I enjoyed it and posted my review

Finished and posted my review.

I am excited to announce that "The Stallion and His Peculiar Boy" received the SILVER MEDAL from the HUGE Readers Favorite International Book Awards! I am so honored.

Went to Orlando last weekend for the President's Book Award Ceremony at which "The Stallion and His Peculiar Boy" was awarded the silver medal for Young Adult Fiction. I'm so proud of Witez and Teodor!

"The Stallion and His Peculiar Boy" received the Silver Medal from the international book award competition, "The President's Award" sponsored by the Florida Authors and Publishers Association. I was given the medal on Saturday, August 5th in Orlando at the fun awards banquet.

M.J. Evans, I apologize in advance if I leave you a bad review because you seem like a really nice person. You just need a better editor and proofreader.

The amount of five and four star ratings this book has leads me to assume that the people writing them are actual children, people with no taste, or people who are paid to write positive reviews, because wow. This book is not good.

Yikes, the writing and editing are not good.

It’s so great so far. I’m itching to read what’s happening next!

Another great review From Midwest Book Reviews:
"The result is a powerful evolution that moves from Nazi-occupied Europe to America; from captive breeding programs to the show horse circuit; and from the confined, repressed world that Teodor is familiar with to a winning relationship that changes horse and boy alike"

Excerpt:
"He was given the name Witez II but called simply Witez meaning chieftain and knight, prince and hero, all rolled into one.
But a dark cloud was looming on the horizon, a cloud that would change the life of Witez forever."
