The Silver Phoenix

By: Sherry Carpenter, Age 15

Here is an amazing novel written by a new author to the pages of WordShack. Seldom have we seen such talent in any author. The fact that she is only 15 adds to the beauty of her writing. A natural for sure, but someone to keep a very close eye on as she works on her craft and develops into a bestselling author. We are very proud to have been her first fans.

Who Took My Flowers
