A Fantastical Adventure Awaits in THE WEEPING BOOKS OF BLINNEY LANE by Drea Damara

LIVONIA, Mich. - Sept. 28, 2018 - PRLog -- The Weeping Books of Blinney Lane by Drea Damara is a modern-day fairy tale set against alternating worlds of historic Salem and a rich fantasy land. Blending elements of witchcraft, fantasy, and adventure, it is filled with quirky and relatable characters.

Bookstore owner Sarah Allister only wants one thing: a normal life. And even though it feels impossible, especially with a witch's curse plaguing her store in the historical Salem shopping district, it may just be within reach. But when her spirited nephew shows up for the summer, all bets are off.  Now Sarah must keep Ricky from discovering the curse of Blinney Lane and awakening its full power…or risk being transported to a land she swore to forget.

"Like so many of us, I grew up reading and loved nothing more than escaping into a good book," says author Drea Damara. "I often wondered what would happen if I truly did and that was the inspiration I used to write this world."
