"Closely Knit" ...by Charlotte Van Houten

Last night my daughter had a hard time getting to sleep and came downstairs to commiserate with me a bit and grab a drink of water.  On her way back upstairs, she said, "I think I'll just read my book for awhile."  I asked what she was reading and she repeated, "my book."  Rolling my eyes, thinking this was the usual pre-teen "provide no concrete information strategy," I snarkily asked, "yes, yes.... does it have a title?"  Her answer:  "Mom, MY BOOK -- the one I WROTE!  ....Closely Knit."

Duh! If you read this blog yesterday, you know that my Creative Writing class just published 12 books.  Charlotte was in the class too and she wrote a fantastic book called, "Closely Knit," so I don't know what I could have been thinking -- of course... her book!

If you would like to buy a copy, here is the link to her "purchase" page on Lulu.com:  Closely Knit, by Charlotte Van Houten.  If you click on the link and hit "preview" you can even read the first few pages and get a sense of the story.  Feel free to advertise this link to everyone you know and every Facebook/Twitter, etc. type account you may have.  Our marketing budget is rather less than a shoestring. J

Here's the summary from the back of the book:

Closely Knit (248 pages)

Sarah Montgomery loves her cousins, but never in her wildest dreams did she imagine they’d become her roommates.  When a fire burns down the Baker house, Sarah finds herself facing a slew of new possibilities.  Life becomes more exciting as she and her cousins use their imaginations to get into more mischief than they ever thought possible.
