I’ve got a reason to B.R.A.G

(Click on the link to see the book on their site.)

Of course, I’m thrilled. I just hope that anyone who still thinks that Indie books are crap is paying attention to sites like Indie B.R.A.G, the Awesome Indies list and the many quality Indie review sites who weed the good ones from the dross. The  B.R.A.G.Medallion^TM mission is ‘to recognize quality on the part of authors who self-publish both print and digital books.’

Thank you  B.R.A.G for your service to readers and authors.

The B.R.A.G  medallion now shares the cover with the Awesome Indies Seal of Approval. The book has also received The Indie Book of the Day Award

Because of it’s entertaining and enlightening approach to dealing with bullying many reviewers have said that this novel should be required reading in secondary schools.

What readers are saying.

 ‘I was awed  … Tahlia Newland’s fiction is some of the best YA on the market … in Newland’s deft hands, this novel is an absorbing, educational read, that both satisfies and gives hope to adults and younger readers alike.’ Melissa, reviewer for Blibliotica Book Reviews.

‘This is a story about understanding, kindness and compassion, uniquely told with surreal fantasy elements, and is both entertaining and thought-provoking.’ Kevin Berry, author of ‘Dragon’s Away.’

‘This is a book that all young adults should read. It is also a great book for parents and educators who may need a fresh look into teen struggles and bullying … Tahlia does a brilliant job making an otherwise tedious topic fun and relatable for readers. This book will make you think and really reflect on the subject at hand. The writing style was enjoyable and fluid. Although short in length, this book contains a powerful message and the author manages to drive this message home without over doing it. You are left feeling complete and some what light.’ Jill Marie, reviewer for Little Hyats Book Reviews
