MYOPIA is my YA novel exploring the effects of bullying and how a victim responds with creative non-violence.
It is dedicated to anyone who’s been on the wrong side of bullying. Being a victim is never your fault. The problem is with the bully NOT you. Stand strong and always believe in your individuality.
One reviewer wrote: “Myopia is a poignant, beautiful and heart-wrenching story that resonates with truth, hope and above all, the immeasurable power of human compassion . Thoroughly recommended.”
Here is the new cover:
The shadow and background represent the sinister nature of bullying, but the clenched fist also suggests a triumphant gesture of victory over adversity.
The old cover presented an abstract section of an eye, to fit in with the title and theme of short-sightedness. Its pixilated nature shows the blur of myopic vision.
Now the new cover gives a stronger indication of the drama, angst and struggle confronteded by Jerry and other characters in the novel.
As well as a new cover, the text has been edited and revised into a fresh edition. If you know any teens or young adults looking for a great read then click on one of these links.
