The Mystic Travelogues - by J.C. Nusbaum - with free giveaway!

EltaninPub · 06-07-2011, 02:32 PM

It's Release Day for The Mystic Travelogues by J.C. Nusbaum! Although it is a children's book, it has some deep ideas, and many adults will love it, just as adults love "children's" books such as The Wizard of Oz, Alice in Wonderland, Harry Potter, Philip Pullman's Dark Materials trilogy etc. The book is illustrated with black & white drawings by the author. DRM-free.

Check out the trailer:

The ebook is available at Amazon, Barnes & Noble, and Smashwords.

From the back cover:
Ten-year-old Tug is lost in the world, even to himself. Shuffled from one relative to the next, he has no place to call home and no sense of what his future will hold. But when destiny intervenes and sends Tug and his cousin Jodie to stay with a distant uncle in Vermont, they could not anticipate the strange occurrences at the enchanted old house. When their uncle disappears under mysterious circumstances, the two children begin a journey that will challenge their courage and reveal magic both underneath them and inside of them.

Travel to a mystic destination-
where animals know your destiny,
where dangerous Nomes lurk in the shadows,
and where a stuffed bear can bring you to life.

Praise for The Mystic Travelogues:
"This book is a rare treat for the child in anyone, regardless of age. It combines whimsy, fantasy, imagination and a compelling plot while also fostering spiritual literacy.... A delight not to be missed!"
Susan Mehrtens
President, The Jungian Center

I hope you enjoy it (and if you do, spread the word - it won't be free for long). The cover is by Jim Tierney - we love it, also. You can see more of his work here: http://www.jimtierneyart.com/

The interior artwork is by J.C. himself.

Just downloaded it myself, but I don't know when I'll get around to read, seems interesting tho

Thanks for the opportunity to get it free. By the way, something about it reminds me of Arthur and the Invisibles/Minimoys.

It does look like an interesting story, and I agree the cover is quite attractive looking as well. It just seems to evoke "magical tale" the way it's drawn and painted. The cover reminds me a bit of the "Neverending Story" cover in a way. I downloaded a copy this morning as well.
