Five-Star Review from Readers' Favorite!

This winter may be frigid, but nothing warms my heart like this kind of news:

Bewildered just received a 5-star rating from Readers' Favorite!

This is quoted from readersfavorite.com: "Reviewed by Mamta Madhavan for Readers' Favorite

Bewildered (The Bewilderness Tales) by A.B. Harms is the entertaining story of Prudence Parks. This twelve-year-old girl is very clear on what she wants from her life and is one of the top students of her class. After consuming a bit of Magic, she finds herself in a land called Bewilderness with a lot of bizarre happenings around her. She has to outwit the Match King here. Insects talk, ships do not need water to sail, and many more strange things in this place bewilder her. The Match King promises to send her back to her own land if she can find an ancient treasure, Paper Heart. What follows is a series of whimsical and adventurous events that will take readers on a magical ride into distant lands with strange creatures and exciting characters.

The story is entertaining with all its interesting characters, both good guys and villains. The story is filled with suspense, mystery, and adventure which makes the story exciting. There is a lot of warmth and kindness portrayed in the character of Prudence Parks. This lighthearted magical adventure will capture readers' hearts with its fast pacing, whimsicality and breezy moments.

In the course of the adventure, Prudence discovers the evil plans of the Match King, which threaten the existence of Bewilderness. The open ending in the story leaves readers wanting more. Will Prudence succeed in saving Bewilderness, the land she has come to love, or will she work towards finding her way back home?"

Thank you Readers' Favorite and Mamta Madhaven for your wonderful review!

Howdy and Happy Saint Valentine's Day!

Today is going to be awesome--not just because the world overfloweth with chocolate (my idea of heaven), but because my dear BEWILDERED is now available in print!

As excited as I was to release the ebook, there is nothing like holding a book in your hands, feeling the thickness of the pages, and not having to worry about how much battery life you have left. Ahhh!

So, if you are like me, this is the moment you've been waiting for: the moment when BEWILDERED can sit proudly on your shelf--and February couldn't be happier that it happened in her favorite month and on Cupid's birthday to boot!

It is now available on Amazon in all formats--just use this link.

Have a happy Valentine's Day, Bewilderness fans!
