RAMSEY, MINN., UNITED STATES, July 23, 2016 /EINPresswire.com/ -- RAMSEY, Minn. – Author Dianne Novak partners with Tate Publishing to kick-start the publication process of her book, “Secrets of the Snow Globes: The Search for the Buccaneer’s Bounty.”— Stacy Baker, Acquisitions Editor, Tate Publishing
A tale of magic, adventure and quest, “Secrets of the Snow Globes” is an adventure-packed novel about fulfilling the quest that was set before by the adventurers through the magic of a snow globe, finding a former pirate’s treasure.
“The idea for this book actually came to me over 15 years ago. I was helping a friend with Sunday school curriculum and wrote an old-fashioned radio serial. It was about four kids helping an old sailor find his ‘treasure’. And in the course of that radio play, they come to learn that treasure is not always silver, gold, and jewels. Many years later, I was challenged to turn my idea and the pirate research I did for that play into a book. My pastor and I were discussing the gifts God has given me in research and communications. When he asked what I wanted to do with those gifts, I said I might like to write a book someday. My pastor asked the simple question – ‘When?’ That's when it got real - and hard! I spent about four years bringing this first book to life,” shares Novak on the inspiration behind the book.
“There's something exciting about following along with four friends who are plopped down in an environment they don't know, in the midst of dangers and the unknown,” states Stacy Baker, Acquisitions Editor for Tate Publishing.
Published by Tate Publishing and Enterprises, the book is available through bookstores nationwide, from the publisher at www.tatepublishing.com/bookstore, or by visiting barnesandnoble.com or amazon.com.
Novak has had a life-long love affair with the written word. Friends remember having to pull her away from books to come out and play. She wrote letters and play-lets and short stories for her friends and family from a very young age. She has also written authored and co-authored numerous stage productions - musicals, children's plays and short dramas - as well as Sunday school curriculum and other short stories and articles. She currently works in marketing, where she uses her gift for writing to develop websites, videos and other marketing materials to communicate business solutions her company offers.
Novak was inspired to begin her “Secrets of the Snow Globes" series by the adventure stories of Enid Blyton (a British author) and Carolyn Keene (who wrote the Nancy Drew books), among others. She loved how those characters had to face real hazards and solve deep mysteries to fight their way through to home and justice. She hopes that the story will inspire another generation to dream dreams and tell their stories.
