WHITE CHALK

This Coming-of-Age Literary Fiction piece explores the darkly emotional path chosen by one teenage girl. For more information on this book, please visit the
Evolved Publishing
website.

~~~~~

Chelle isn’t a typical thirteen-year-old girl—she doesn’t laugh with friends, play sports, or hang out at the mall after school. Instead, she navigates a world well beyond her years.

Life in Dawson, ND spins on as she pleads for someone to save her, to return her to the simple childhood of unicorns on her bedroom wall and stories on her father’s knee.

When Troy Christiansen walks into her life, Chelle is desperate to believe his arrival will be her salvation—so much so, she forgets to save herself.

After experiencing a tragedy at school, her world begins to crack, causing a deeper scar in her already fragile psyche. Follow Chelle’s twisted tale of modern adolescence, as she travels down the rabbit hole into a reality none of us wants to admit actually exists.

Praise for
White Chalk
:

“Chelle, smarter, prettier, quicker witted, and more engaging than she has a clue, is alone in a world stacked against her. Her solution is to change herself to find love, or at least diminish her loneliness, as she says, ‘I reflected back the light shining on me, empty but for the image of another.’ We root for Chelle in spite of her bad choices, and bad luck rapidly turning pages so eager for her to solve her problems. This gripping novel breaks every rule and escapes customary boundaries. Tyler’s eye for what happens to many of our teenagers, and the psychological burdens of growing up too fast, too ignored, too alone, too poor are spot on and insightful.” –
Ann Pearlman, Pulitzer Prize Nominee and Author of “The Christmas Cookie Club”

“Tyler combines shades of
Lolita
and
Catcher in the Rye
in a completely new way, drawing you in with poignant characterizations.
White Chalk
goes deep into teenage angst with understanding and clarity. Savor, share, and use this poignant book as a primer on the brutal effects of abuse, neglect, and self-esteem.” –
Rachel Thompson, Award-Winning Author of “Broken Pieces”

“Shocking, driving, compelling, riveting: these words describe my raw reaction to Tyler’s latest novel. The characters are real and believable. The first-person narrative is bare, unadorned; it provides an unobscured and clearly focused view of the heroine’s journey through her personal hell. As I read, snippets of my own children’s comments about school came back to me with greater impact. Could that student they mentioned have been going through this? Could my own children have had similar feelings in their own circumstances? My children are fine, but I’m still discomfited by the thought of “what if.” A writer’s intent is obviously being realized when it forces you to consider the uncomfortable possibilities of these scenarios happening to your own children. Tyler’s ability to describe in words the feelings of an adolescent is tremendous and very insightful. Some many moments just spot on. Kudos to Tyler for the tremendous effort, the research, and the ability to evoke in me such feelings of anguish at the novel’s end!” –

Praise for
The Devil Made Me Do It
:

“I enjoy a little erotic fantasy or a good bodice ripping historic romance, but in
The Devil Made Me Do It
, author Amelia James presents everyday couples who could be your next-door neighbors or your best friends, with enough heat to melt the paint off the walls. Her characters are contemporary, realistic couples indulging in some of the most common erotic fantasies in loving, romantic, and playful ways. These are committed, loving couples doing what committed, loving couples do: having really hot sex.

“
The Devil Made Me Do It
is a collection of short stories giving the reader quick, sexy doses of some of the best erotic scenes I’ve read. But the short vignettes aren’t empty sex. Ms. James builds her characters masterfully so that we know and care for each one. We feel the emotions and understand the motivations of every playful scenario the couples choose. The reader is quickly drawn into the lives of each new couple and carried along on their erotic adventures.

“The deep intimacy of long-term committed relationships is shown through the comfortable interaction between the characters. We have the pleasure of watching couples who aren’t bored and looking for cheap thrills, but truly in love and looking for new ways to please the object of their desire. I’ve been married twenty-six years myself, and the emotions, thoughts, and erotic desires ring true throughout. My first reaction while reading was “we would enjoy that,” or “we like doing that.” I gave my copy of
The Devil Made Me Do It
to my wife when I finished reading.

“I have often said that in my opinion, “if it ain’t romantic, it ain’t erotic.”
The Devil Made Me Do It
is definitely cock throbbing, clit burning erotica, but it’s also beautifully and playfully romantic. It gets my highest recommendation to all those looking for a little spice in their relationship, or interested in how erotic sex can be after years of practice. And the short-story-collection format allows the busy married-with-children reader to enjoy short, quick bites of pleasure.” –
