Guest Post: C. Lee McKenzie and ALLIGATORS OVERHEAD
Larissa,
Thank you so much for helping me out with the launch of my first middle
grade book. I really appreciate your support and it's great to be here on your
blog today.
Alligators Overhead
Blurb:
Alligators, witches and a spooky mansion aren't your average neighbors
unless you live at the edge of the Ornofree swamp in the backwater town of
Hadleyville. The town's bad boy, Pete Riley, may only be twelve, but he's up to
his eyeballs in big trouble, and this time he isn't the cause. This time the
trouble arrives when a legendary hundred-year-old mansion materializes next
door and the Ornofree alligators declare war to save their swamp from
bulldozers. Things only get worse when Pete's guardian aunt and several of her
close friends vanish while trying to restore order using outdated witchcraft.
Now Pete must find the witches and stop the war. He might stand a chance if his
one friend, Weasel, sticks with him, but even then, they may not have what it
takes.
About the author:

forest with her husband and assorted cats. When she's not writing or blogging
she's hiking or practicing yoga. She usually writes young adult fiction that

family that loses almost everything and has to rebuild their lives together.
Alligators Overhead is her first Middle Grade novel. Lee blogs at http://writegame.blogspot.com and her website is http://cleemckenziebooks.com
Gators make me shiver. Pair them with a spooky mansion, and this sounds like a great book. Thank you both, and congratulations, Lee!
