Sweepstakes Demon Release $50 Amazon GC & Prize Pack
I haven't read Laura's books yet; however, I have heard they are awesome. I recognized Laura from the blogshere and proud to have the chance to share her books and talents with you.
Demon, Book Two in the Dark Musicals Trilogy, inspired by Sweeney Todd is available now!
If you haven't read the first book in the series, now is a great time to get your copy. To celebrate the release of Demon, Phantom is now on sale for only $1.99 exclusively on Amazon!
Phantom, Dark Musicals Book #1
The “Phantom” was a musical phenomenon that Rebecca had always found enchanting. She had no idea that her life was about to mirror the play that was her obsession. When her high school drama club chooses “Phantom” as their annual production, Rebecca finds herself in the middle of an unlikely love triangle and the target of a sadistic stalker who uses the lines from the play as their calling card.
Rebecca lands the lead role of Christine, the opera diva, and like her character, she is torn between her two co-stars—Tom the surfer and basketball star who plays the lovable hero, and Justyn, the strangely appealing Goth who is more than realistic in the role of the tortured artist.
Almost immediately after casting, strange things start to happen both on and off the stage. Curtains fall. Mirrors are shattered. People are hurt in true phantom style. They all seem like accidents until Rebecca receives notes and phone calls that hint at something more sinister. Is Justyn bringing to life the twisted character of the phantom? Or in real life are the roles of the hero and the villain reversed? Rebecca doesn’t know who to trust, but she knows she’s running out of time as she gets closer and closer to opening night. Only when the mask is stripped away, will the twenty first century phantom finally be revealed.
Laura “Luna” DeLuca lives at the beautiful Jersey shore with her husband and four children. She loves writing in the young adult genre because it keeps her young at heart. In addition to writing fiction, Laura is also the editor of a popular review blog called New Age Mama. She is an active member of her local pagan community, and has been studying Wicca for close to eight years. Her current works include Destiny, Destiny Unveiled, Phantom, Morrigan, Player and Demon. She also has short stories featured in two anthologies called HerStory and A Celtic Tapestry.

Blind Eye To Bullies Discouraged by First Adult
My son was punched several times & raised his hand telling the coach-- coach said he didn't want to hear no tattling. He gets back to classroom and tells teacher--the little boy gets in trouble.
Husband's solution punch back-- son says dad that's not right. I told him to yell as loud as he can STOP!-- says he will get in trouble and have to sit on the wall. I told him shouldn't get in trouble if he stopping someone from hurting him. I told him I was proud of him for telling the teacher. If one adult will not listen tell another.
Maybe I don't want to hear the coaches side and turn a blind eye to him like he did my son. If I do have a conference I wonder if then will the coach single him out. You know you never know-- For the moment I will observe & taking note of this. I will mention it to his regular teacher. No one wants their child to tell them they been hit but, the way my son handled it was good.
Although, I think this is just the case of rough & rowdy boy, not bullying. In Bully situations, wonder how many kids was discouraged from the first adult they tried to tell. Something to think about.
