In July, 2007, I wrote a novel in 48 hours. In September, 2007, that novel won the 2007 BEST ADULT NOVEL AWARD in the Muskoka Novel Marathon. In September, 2011, that novel was accepted for publication by MUSA PUBLISHING. Yesterday, I saw the cover mock up for the novel. TODAY, the cover is official. The novel, SEBASTIAN'S POET, comes out in June, 2012. It was a long and winding road...and a wonderful one! Here's the cover...and below it, the blurb!
Sebastian’s Poet – By Kevin Craig (Release Date: June, 2012 – MUSA PUBLISHING
Cover Blurb:
Sebastian Nelson is a boy in search of a family. Abandoned by his mother, Sebastian is left with a broken father who doesn’t even seem present when he does show up. Forced to be the main caregiver of his younger brother, Renee, and lost in a sea of indifference, Sebastian only wants to experience the love a real, stable family could afford him.
One morning he discovers the famous folksinger, Teal Landen, asleep on the sofa. Teal’s nurturing nature brings an immediate sense of security into Sebastian’s tumultuous life. But a dark secret looms between Teal and Sebastian’s father of a hidden past. Sebastian is driven to discover their secret, but also he’s aware of how tenuous their hold on Teal really is. He doesn’t want to lose the feeling of home Teal’s presence has brought him.
If Sebastian pushes too hard, he could lose Teal forever. He could be destined to raise his younger brother alone, while witnessing the total decline of his emotionally devastated father. If Sebastian is abandoned by the only healthy influence in his otherwise shaky existence, he will also be forever in the dark about the secret that will reveal so much about his fractured family.
