TIME OF HONOR out and gets great reviews!
« on: October 12, 2012, 12:28 PM »
Hurray!  My middle grade/tween novel is up and running today with Canadian publisher MuseItUp Publishing and Amazon!

 TIME OF HONOR features a girl debater catapulted to 1272 who must use her wit and words to prevent her own murder and those of her new friends. 

Check it out at:
http://www.amazon.com/Time-of-Honor-ebook/dp/B009P4M9EM/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1350060910&sr=8-1&keywords=%22Time+of+Honor%22+Sorenson

Many, many thanks to all my Blueboarder friends who kept up the encouragement and inspiration!
Aloha,
Tori (aka Margo) :palmtree

I'm tickled to have TIME OF HONOR featured in the October newsletter of the National Forensic League Alumni! Having a sassy debater as a heroine is a little off the beaten path and something they thought "speechies" would like to know about, saying that few books for young readers featured a debater as a main character.  :)

I was tickled to read this review just posted of my middle grade/tween time-travel:

The phrase "time slip fantasy" is pretty much fun!
