The Traveler’s Gift is in the genre that I like to call modern-day fables. It is a story that tells a lesson. Several Mitch Albom books are in this genre, along with The Alchemist by Paulo Coelho. I enjoy reading those kind of books as I feel they stay with me longer because I’m pondering over the lesson the book was trying to teach.
I really enjoyed listening to The Queen’s Gambit. It’s a fascinating coming of age story about a chess phenom who has very few people to guide her in life outside of chess. She falls to several addictions and has trouble keeping relationships.
My third novel, Orphan Wish Island, is published today, Feb. 1, 2021! It's a young adult realistic fantasy novel, but middle grade readers and adults would enjoy it, too.
