Today is the final day of the official release event organized by

CBB Book Promotions for my MG novel The Tale of Willaby Creek!

 

Welcome to the release event for The Tale of Willaby Creek by Victoria Lindstrom! This is a MG adventure fantasy that has just released! 

About the Book:

A magical tale of amazing sacrifice...

When a violent windstorm strikes an enchanted rain forest many of the woodland creatures of Willaby Creek are stranded, injured, or lost forever to the frenzied force of the tempest. Basil, a black bear full of doubt and fear, becomes the unlikely leader to head the woodland creatures' rescue. He is joined by Daphne, a spunky blue dryad; Oliver, a wise horned owl; Elbert, a noble elk; and a host of other creatures that inhabit the enchanted rain forest.

Dangerous twists and turns in this animal adventure fantasy cause Basil to discover a courage, and a conviction, he never knew he had. The answers to the ancient mysteries in this magical tale emerge in an extraordinary finale under the tall timbers of the hidden hinterland.

A Note From the Author:

For seven years my husband and I owned a cabin on the southern shore of Lake Quinault, near Willaby Creek. We spent many weekends enjoying the beauty and tranquility of the Olympic National Forest. While there, we saw: Black bears, Roosevelt elk, eagles, herons, river otter, raccoons, one bobcat, and a host of other woodland critters.
In December 2006 the Hanukkah Eve Windstorm hit the Pacific Northwest causing severe damage to parts of the Olympic National Forest. One afternoon following the windstorm I wondered: What happened to all of the animals? After that, a seed of the story that was to become The Tale of Willaby Creek tumbled into my mind.

         As writers, we are told to write what we know; the setting for
        The Tale of Willaby Creek is definitely a familiar place to me.
