As Brown As I Want- a selfie book trailer

This is one of my favorite “selfie” book trailers. As Brown As I Want is a fictional autobiography, mostly true. I admit I made up Powwow Pete, but heck, it’s my story and I wanted my mom and I to have a good man. I like him; I think you’ll like him too. 

This is the second book inn my Turtle Trilogy, but it stands alone.

Back cover:

The summer of 1952, Lawton, Oklahoma… Eight-year-old Glory has a father who has taken out a $50,000 accidental-death insurance policy on her–now he’s spending the summer trying to collect.
In his first attempt, he throws Glory into a snake-infested lake, but a giant snapping turtle that Glory has been feeding scares the snakes away.
Glory writes in her diary: “Well, Powwow Pete drove us home to talk to Mom but we didn’t get very far. Mom thinks I just have a wild imagination. At least Powwow Pete believes me. I think it was the turtle that killed it for Mom.
“How could there be a turtle that big?” she scoffed. They talked some more and Powwow Pete got kind of mad and got up to leave.
This was one of those times when a kid thinks they’re talking about a turtle but the grown-ups are really talking about something else entirely. In this case, I think Pete was accusing Mom of still loving my dad, but he never said that, he just kept talking about the turtle. Mom was doing the same thing: talking about the turtle but meaning she didn’t want to get messed up with some guy who was a pathology liar (Glory can’t spell).

Please share!

This book is #2 in my Turtle Trilogy. They’re all a good read, I promise!
