Amazon Review

Preteen, MacIntyre McGeehee, nicknamed Mac, moved from Boston to Williamsburg, Virginia with his family. Soon thugs at school labeled him MacGeek because he was gifted with a high IQ.

Mac didn’t let the bullies rule his life. Instead, he applied his bright capabilities to create advanced technology and unravel anonymities.

Mac’s faithful pooch, Bo, and his pal Ali help Mac when he gets caught up in more than a few problems to do with ghosts, a witch, dog snatchers, and more.

Wonderful feel-good read with a great plot and setting. Love the doggy friend which made the story even more interesting. Mac will be relatable to those who have faced bullying and overcame obstacles. You’ll find yourself and cheering for him and his pals.

About the author

I have been writing for twenty-five years. My favorite resource is scripture. A hunger for God’s Word took me to the campus of Precepts International in Chattanooga, Tennessee. There I learned the Inductive Bible Study method, which completely changed the way I view scripture.

I served for five plus years in a local chapter of CONTACT USA. While there I served on the board of directors and as a crisis line specialist. In addition I am certified by the American Association of Christian Counselors in Caring for People God’s Way. I remained an active member until 2005. I am currently retired.

After becoming a Christian, my desire to write and quest for answers were dedicated to understanding God’s message to man. What exactly was He saying and why were there so many different interpretations? As a result, I became an avid student of scripture. My book ‘Spiritual Compass’ contains excerpts from various articles written over the years. It also takes the reader on a simple walk through the Word of God and offers insights derived from the personal journey of others.

I am a widowed grandmother of eight, retired and living in Southwestern Virginia.

Amazon Review 

This is an entertaining book written for grammar school age children. Its length is perfect for that audience and though the content is different, it is sort of reminiscent of Beatrix Potter’s books. However, the author uses puppets instead of animals, which is effective in its delivery. This book would be one for a parent to read to their child before bed. I imagine it would leave a lasting impression as there are moral lessons throughout. The chapters are not too long so it would be perfect to read one each night. The illustrations are also effective. Well done!
