Blurb:
Gabe Montana's clumsy.
He's overweight, and he's dyslexic. Worse yet,
the bullies make his
fifteen-year-old life even more miserable-so
miserable he wants
to die.Charley, his guardian angel, says no to that
idea, and comes up
with a different plan.
Short Excerpt:
As Gabe moseyed over to
join Charley, he mumbled under his breath
trying to figure
out if angels truly existed or if his imagination had gone
wild, "I may be
slow with my studies, and I may not spell cat and
other words correctly,
but I am sure of one thing. Charley, except for
his cowboy boots and
hat, looks ethereal, the way Mr. Smith described
the boy in my painting.
What exactly does 'ethereal' mean, however?
Not human, right? So,
angel works."
Bio:
Most of the time you'll
find Beverly Stowe McClure at her computer, typing
stories young voices
whisper in her ears. When she's not writing, she's snapping
pictures of wildlife,
flowers, and clouds. Or else she's playing with her two
kitties and one doggy.
She's sometimes known as the "Bug Lady." She's not
telling why.
Congrats, Beverly.

Once again, I've been offline due to my internet provider. I can take the stay at home orders, just not NOT being connected to the internet. This sounds wonderful, Sandra. I was even intrigued. Thanks for doing so much for this talented artist community.
I appreciate your kind words, Christine. I hope it's good. Have a great day.
Thank you for stopping by, Lee.
Three cheers is awesome,Jeanie. Thank you.
Intrigued is super, Bleubeard and Elizabeth. I hope you have your internet back. These days it really is needed.

All the best Jan

Greetings from London.
It is good.
Hope your weekend was safe and enjoyable as well, Jan.
Entirely my pleasure. It's a lovely read.
YOU stay safe. Stay healthy.
This sounds like an original story. I love the idea of a guardian angel that dresses like a cowboy. McClure is a good writer, so I'm sure this book is a winner.
A good reason for book lust on this one:)
Stay safe. Stay healthy.
Hope you and yours stay safe and well.
It is a good book. I too am curious about 'bug lady':)
Teens, tweens and young at heart:)
Stay safe. Stay healthy.
I do too, Elizabeth. Such an important topic.
Yes and yes:)
It's a great read and handles the subject of bullying well.
My pleasure and I echo Beverly's thanks:)
Well deserved indeed:)
Only because it is:)
A great read sums it up nicely, Hilary:)
Most definitely.
You stay safe too.
Entirely my pleasure. Hoping Gabe is going to be a huge success.
I'm still editing/combing through:) Thanks:)
It is good:)
Three cheers indeed:)
Good gracious. There's enough going on without you having to deal with your internet provider on top of it. I'm sorry they're giving you such grief.
Gabe's Guardian Angel is a wonderful story.
Sweet boy, who certainly needs a guardian angel---have known some many students who could have used one.
Thank you, Jan.
Thank you. Hope you and yours are too.
Isn't a guardian angel dressed as a cowboy purrfect?
Thanks, Elizabeth. Right back at ya.
Sadly, that is so true.
Congrats! Sounds like a very heartfelt story!! Big Hugs!
