Press Release
For Immediate Release
Today more than ever, our teens are surrounded by TV shows and video games full of evil magic, dark mystery, and graphic violence. Just spend a few moments looking at programming or books for teens and young teens and you will see how much they crave a world full of mystical magic and thrills! How can a parent help fill this need for the excitement magical things bring without the dark, forbidding violence present in the media today? How can we help them feed this need for adventure without the evil innuendo and profanity that pervades teen's literature and media these days?
The Adventures of Megan Martin, by Bryon Smith, is the answer. It is cover to cover excitement, action, and supernatural enticement that everybody wants without obscene violence, sexual content, and profanity! The Adventures of Megan Martin series of books is based on good moral values and reference to Christianity and does not need to insult to entertain.
Megan and her friends, May, Brianna, MiKayla and Katharina, are real to life characters every teen can relate to. And that's no surprise. The author, Bryon Smith, used his own real life daughters, Laura and Kristy, and their friends to inspire him. They helped him create a realistic dialogue that few authors writing for teens can master. And your kids will know the difference.
Bryon Smith grew up with small town family values in a town in Illinois helping out on his grandfather's farm. He, his wife, and two children now live in Arkansas where he is a videographer and writes The Adventures of Megan Martin series.
The Adventures of Megan Martin is an original creation by author Bryon Smith. The series is a delightful blend of science fiction, adventure, mystery, and brushes with the paranormal.
