FIRST LINE FRIDAY – NERDS VERSUS BULLIES by ROBIN E. MASON

THE BOOK

* because my writing has been on (unintentional) hiatus, and I’m diving back into my current WIP, starting the year focused on my books

THE BLURB

Sometimes the bullies aren’t so tough.

Zach and Alex Oliver moved. A lot. All around the world. From one Army base to another; their dad was base Chaplain. It didn’t help that they were bookish types. And they both wore glasses.

They were easy targets. Skinny boys if not scrawny. Peacemakers and not prone to violence. Even when aggression was prone to them.

But the day comes when enough is enough. And that day for Zach and Alex was the summer they were fourteen. At the base swimming pool. And a near drowning.

When they use their wits against the brawny boys, will their clever plan work? Or will they wind up in the ER? Again.

NOTE: This story deals with issues—bullying and harassment and some racial discrimination—that might be difficult for some readers.

THE FIRST LINE

Jimmy Woods dunked Alex Oliver’s head underwater and held it there.

THE AUTHOR

“I’ve always had voices—er, stories in my head. I once said I should write them all down so someone could write them someday. I had no idea at the time that someone was me!”

My stories are deep and dark, my characters raw and real, with a healthy helping of hope and joy, humor and laughter, and abiding and sustaining faith.

There is a strong element of friends, family, and faith in all my stories, and the difference it makes to have such a support system.

My characters struggle in some way for their identity. Their stories are their journey to know who God created them to be.
