Glendale author’s “Mighty Marty Hayes” combines Black Panther with Harry Potter

Mighty Marty Hayes“Smartly written, not only with the inclusion of science, the book also delights with a diverse cast of characters and well-placed references to civil rights history and more.

I highly recommend this read.” – Valerie Biel, author of Circle of Nine series, Lost Lake Press

It’s a book about inherent differences and discovered similarities, told with brutal honesty and heartrending beauty.
