My next book is Mary Dyer, Friend of Freedom. Mary was the first woman executed in America for her religious beliefs. Her death spurred a revolution in the colonies to enforce religious tolerance. Even King Charles II in England got involved.
The book will be published by Atombank Books, a new company set to launch late this summer. It looks like Mary Dyer, Friend of Freedom will be their first book (Yay! -- Thank you Amy Tombank!). Unfortunately, I need help meeting some additional expenses, including setting up a full author website, creating marketing materials for schools and libraries, and some publishing costs. Right now, I'm trying to raise those funds through Indiegogo -- with your help.
Mary Dyer is a forgotten civil rights hero, and her death helped make many of our First Amendment freedoms possible. It still amazes me the amount of religious intolerance we see, and I'd love to put Mary Dyer, Friend of Freedom into the hands of schoolchildren everywhere. I'd love to spread her message of religious tolerance for everyone. So if you can help me, please visit Indiegogo and contribute what you can. Trust me -- any amount will be greatly appreciated -- and you could easily get a free copy of the book and learn much more about this remarkable woman.
Thanks for your help!
Book Details: Middle-grade non-fiction for children 8-12 years old. Approximately 104 pages with illustrations, a timeline, and a glossary. Mary Dyer, Friend of Freedom is the first book for children about Mary Dyer, and will be marketed largely to schools and libraries to add to their collection of civil rights leaders.
