CM Simpson: Writer & Gamer

This is my third release for January! In Full Flight written as Carlie Simonsen. You can find it on Smashwords (in all formats), Amazon (Kindle and paperback), DriveThruFiction (PDF), and via Smashwords , Draft2Digital and CreateSpace distribution. Jack’s dad has a secret—a sad secret. He has never told Jack how he lost his wings. One day he does, and Jack’s world changes. At the same time, someone from his parents’ past comes into their present, and they must work out how to stop things from the past happening all over again. In Full Flight is the third book in the Wings chapter book series, set around a family with wings and bird-like feet. This book is darker than the other two, dealing with themes of difference, discrimination at a state level, and finding a place to belong.
