Clayton author publishes first book

Submitted by C. ANNE

CLAYTON — Children’s and middle grade author

C. Anne has published her first book, “The Lower World.”

It is the first installment in her new middle-grade fantasy series: A Home Called Haven.

Transplanted into a new family, two neurodiverse children, Fox and Otter, are whisked away to a mystical realm known as the Lower World. There they set out on a journey to find their way home. Along the way, they learn the importance of healing old wounds and the true meaning of friendship.

The tale encourages children to reflect on their emotions and trust their instincts, while celebrating their uniqueness.

A homeschooling mother of two boys, Anne drew inspiration from her children and their struggle with fitting in. She incorporates aspects of Shamanism in her work as a way to explore soul searching and finding one’s place in the world.

“I look for the magic in the everyday to better understand myself and the world, and I teach this to my boys,” Anne said. “I’m hoping I can open the eyes and hearts of other children to the beauty around them.”

“The Lower World” garnered a 5-star rating from Readers’ Favorite, which claimed, “Parents, get this book now, read it with your children, and enjoy the journey together.” Reader Views calls it “a spellbinding adventure.”

Anne will launch a children’s picture book called “Give You The World” later this spring, while the second book in A Home Called Haven series will be published in the fall.
