BASED ON A TRUE STORY, LOCAL
AUTHOR/KEYNOTE SPEAKER LAUNCHES DEBUT NOVEL FOR YOUNG ADULTS
“Jump into suspense, young
romance and mayhem at an international college in the middle of the Swiss Alps,
where an American student walks a thin tight rope, barely balanced by a web of
troubles.”
ROCKLIN, CA, January 6, 2015 –
Local inspirational author, Joanne Veeck, has recently added a novel for young
adults to her collection of published books. In addition to authoring three
children’s books, Joanne co-authored Stepping
Stones to Success with Deepak Chopra, Jack Canfield, and a few other
experts in the field of Positive Psychology. She holds a lifetime teaching
credential, is a national speaker, certified life coach, and the founder of
Women Inspire Women (WIW) of Rocklin, a women’s group that supports and
inspires personal success and well-being. In 2012, Joanne was invited to
present her children’s book, Your Leaves
Are Pretty, at Sacramento’s largest literary event.
Set in Switzerland, Semester Abroad is a story of a daughter
of a top executive, expected to keep to the rules, who does anything but that.
She talks her way into going to a small, relatively unknown college in Europe,
for one compelling reason, and then becomes entangled in
a physical and emotional tug of war that takes a shocking turn.
From skiing at world famous
resorts in Switzerland, to the ritzy Champs-Elysees Boulevard in Paris, the
red-light district in Amsterdam, and other European marvels, Joanne and her
college friends experience the full gamut of a semester abroad, including a
near-death accident and many close calls.
J. Workman, an elementary school
teacher from Boulder, Colorado, who holds a masters in Educational Psychology,
said, “Although Joanne Veeck’s novel, Semester
Abroad, is geared to young adults, I couldn’t put it down, and I’m in my
thirties. Heart-wrenching, suspenseful, romantic and funny—this
story is captivating and impossible not to love.”
Joanne is available for
interviews and appearances. For booking presentations, media appearances,
interviews, and/or book signings, contact jjveeck@hotmail.com.
