The Memory Trap by Greg Koren  

About The Memory Trap by Greg Koren

HERE’S THE PROBLEM
Henry Dunne is about to be suspended from his new middle school for something he didn’t do, and the principal’s old but beloved car is about to disappear for the last time.

HERE’S THE DEAL
Henry and the principal agree to help each other, but these unlikely friends don’t realize the deck has been stacked against them, and time is running out.

HERE’S THE THING
Henry must confront his fears and figure out whom to trust before the sinister force making their lives miserable steps from the shadows to deal the final, crushing blow.

___

Greg Koren (Do Over, 2016) has written a novel for middle school-grade readers that Kirkus Reviews calls “thoughtful and perceptive, with offbeat humor, twisty puzzles, and exciting action.” The Memory Trap isn’t just for young readers, though. It’s for anybody seeking a smart mystery that celebrates family, forgiveness, and living mindfully.

Author Bio:
Greg Koren graduated from Towson University in 1988 with a Bachelor of Science degree in English and a concentration in writing. That same year, he began working as a newspaper reporter and columnist in Maryland, first as Associate Editor of the weekly East Baltimore Guide, then, in 1993, as Senior Features Writer for the daily Carroll County Times. During his fifteen-year career, he won more than a dozen awards for his writing, among them the Maryland State Teachers Association’s School Bell Award for excellence in education reporting, the Associated Press’ Mark Twain Award for outstanding features writing, and six awards, including three first-place, from the MDDC Press Association for feature and column writing.

His one-act play, An Arrangement of Convenience, about the difficult subject of AIDS, won the Maryland Playwrights Festival, and in 1989 was produced by the Vagabond Theater in Baltimore to rave reviews.

In 1998, Greg and his wife traded places, and he became the at-home parent. A year later, while writing a weekly column for the Carroll County Times on his experiences as an at-home dad, he decided to homeschool his two kids, making him one of only three homeschooling fathers in Baltimore County.

Greg always loved reading aloud to Max and Mara, and those homeschooling years introduced him to the enchanting world of children’s fiction. He was immediately taken with the powerful storytelling being written for middle school-grade readers and decided he wanted to try his hand at it. His first MG novel, Do Over, was published in 2016. The Memory Trap is his second.

Author Bio:
I’ve helped thousands of families live a Points Life with vacation points ownership. My new book “PointsLife” is a tell-all ,quick read to enlighten the consumer on why a simple concept has evolved into a movement and now pop culture. As a husband, father, and grandfather, success is about creating memories with those you love. As a sales professional, author, and speaker. My career has led me to over $300 million in personal sales, multiple leadership and brokerage awards and a thankfulness beyond words. I’ve traveled throughout North America training 1,000’s of sales professionals and business owners. I founded a real estate organization that grew from one single office to over 124 offices nationwide. Entrepreneur Magazine recognized my company in the Top 50 Fastest Growing Franchises in America not once, but four years in a row. When the nation’s worst economic collapse in history rocked the real estate and financial world to its core it was time to set a new course…the vacation-ownership industry. It was a perfect fit where real estate ownership and life-balance merged. My passion to help others gain “balance” through vacation ownership eventually lead to my new book “PointsLife…Not your Grandma’s Timeshare”. To date, I’ve helped thousands of families live a Points Life with vacation points.

The Dragon Wakes  

About The Dragon Wakes

A world built on the tales of dragon kings. Powerful brothers at war. An orphan girl sold as a bride.

Long ago, the Kingdom of Estala was a place of dragons and sorcerers. Those with magical powers were more than human, they were Menti. But now Menti sorcery is outlawed by the capricious king, and those who wield it are hunted down by the fanatical Order of Insight to be made into slaves, or worse, executed.

Two young heroes find themselves unwillingly thrown into the centre of these uncertain times. Prince Luca, King Davead’s second son, has always been the sickliest of the royal children, but in a shocking turn of events, Luca finds himself at the heart of a magical power so great it may consume him forever. If he fails to control those powers, he could be put to death by his own father. Reva Avalon grew up believing she would marry her childhood friend, Prince Luca. But after she is orphaned in the Menti uprising, the King of Estala sells her to his most feared general instead. Young and frightened, but still strong-willed, Reva must survive a harsh new life away from the palace.

And in the realm rebellion looms, as do the return of the mighty dragon shifters. Some long for the return of the dragons… others fear it will be the end of the world as it is known.
