The publisher of Barney and the Runaway reports that work continues on the book cover design which I should see soon.
They plan to have samples of the finished book ready for their distributor to present to bookstores and other buyers by the end of this summer.
Then the additional 7 republished titles should follow soon after. They include, Newspaper Caper, Terror at Wolf Lake, North Woods Poachers, Mountain Cabin Mystery, Big Rig Rustlers, Secret of Abbott’s Cave, & Legend of the White Wolf.
These are books that will especially appeal to boys 8 - 13. I'll keep you posted.
Synopsis_________________________________
Barney and the Runaway
Author: Max Elliot Anderson
Audience: 8 – 12; especially boys
Barney and the Runaway tells the story of Michael Ellis, who has recently told his parents to start calling him Mike from now on. He especially hated the way they were always telling him what to do. Mike decides to teach his parents a lesson by pretending to run away for a day with his dog Barney.
The plan of running away gets a bit more complicated than planned when Mike and Barney hide in a railroad boxcar, fall asleep, and end up in Georgia with a circus in the middle of the night. Good thing for the runaways, Big Bob the Clown takes Mike and Barney to safety in his wagon. Mike decides that living and performing with the circus might be a good idea until Big Bob opens Mike’s eyes to his unfortunate past.
Mike’s encounter with this grown up runaway, in the circus, helps him to understand that his parents truly love him. Then Mike and Barney save the circus. Through it all, Mike learns the importance of family.
Parents often punish their children, but only because they love and want what is best for them, not because they don’t care. Even though the life of a circus performer with a circus family may appear fun, if given a choice, most would agree that living in a warm home with loving, caring parents is the preferred choice. As the saying goes, “You don’t know what you’ve got until it’s gone.” After Mike overhears some unsettling news and both he and Barney are involved in a scary and dangerous crime.
Will Mike learn his lesson before it’s too late?
Books for boys that girils love reading too.

I'm really excited about these books, Max! Can't wait!
Thank you Llama Momma. I've always liked llamas, and saw several of them on some of my film production trips to South America.
Where will your books be available?
My books will be available on Amazon, and through distribution with Ingram, they will be available in any bookstore - some may need to order them. I also offer signed copies when books are ordered directly from me.
