Brother and Sister Writing Team Release New Novel in Time for Halloween

MT. AIRY, N.C. - Oct. 17 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) -- Brother and sister writing duo, CJ and Tabitha Edwards, announce the release of a new sci-fi novel, "StarKazar and the Mysterious Happenings" (ISBN: 978-1-4116-9314-2), in conjunction with Lulu.com, a provider of print-on-demand books.

"StarKazar and the Mysterious Happenings" is the first in a series that follows the adventures of Aaron Zelos and his friends as they explore the cosmos.

The story begins on Halloween night and weaves it way through everyday events in a not so everyday manner. The book is written from the perspective of 15-year-old Aaron, an average boy, except for a white mole on his back. As Aaron copes with life as a teenager, Aaron's mother mourns over the death of Lazarus, Aaron's father. She has become unapproachable despite Aaron's attempts to reach her.

While struggling on the home front, Aaron also learns to deal with bullies and troublemakers in the outside world. However, his other-worldly powers allow him to dish out a unique brand of revenge.

Aaron creates lasting relationship bonds, and readers learn through events such as a soccer game, a trip to the museum, Ms. Silver's accident, and his match with a powerful alien, that, in Aaron's world, size and gender do not matter.

Authors, Tabitha and CJ, 14 and 15, respectively, while young, are not new to writing. Previously, they released "Charlie X" - a novel that goes beyond the sci-fi genre and poignantly deals with issues of respect and dignity; it has received rave reviews.

"It's amazing to me," David C. Edwards, father of the writing duo said, "to see them work together. One cannot work without the other; CJ comes up with an idea and Tabitha writes it."

CJ is a member of the ROTC, Rocket Club and drama class; he has received numerous poetry awards; Tabitha excels in the arts and writing, and likes to hang out with friends. She has also received numerous poetry awards. Both teens enjoy church and family gatherings.
