Product spotlight: Maggie’s Treasure

Another great little book from Sable Creek Press, Maggie’s Treasure is the first fiction book I’ve ever had the pleasure to design.  It’s a great milestone for me as a designer since it also represents my first opportunity to direct a photo shoot with a real model and design a fiction cover.  Not only was this a fun project to work on, but it is a entertaining and educational book to read.

A chapter book for younger readers, Maggie’s Treasure takes you back to western Kansas during the Great Depression. Maggie has lost her mother and now her father has remarried and moved her from their failing farm to live with his new wife and her two daughters in a boxcar. Maggie cherishes the few items left to her by her mother, but when her father leaves her in the care of her new stepmother to work in a mine, Maggie discovers a treasure that can never be taken from her.

This is the first book in the Gatlin Fields series.  Book 2 (In the Shadow of the Enemy) should be coming out in January.  If you have a young reader in your family, Maggie’s Treasure would make a great Christmas gift.  Buy a few copies today!

I also want to give credit where credit is due and acknowledge a couple people whose credits were unfortunately left off the copyright page of the first printing.  Deb Minnard was the photographer and Amanda Sheppard was the model for the Maggie pose on the front cover.
