Agoura Hills Author Launches Latest Young Adult Novel Via Exclusive E-Book Launch
Award-winning writer joins the digital publishing boom with release of The Beast Call

AGOURA HILLS, CA, May 9, 2011 – Anne Tibbets, an award winning writer and Agoura Hills resident, released her latest novel, The Beast Call, on May 1 exclusively as an e-book.

The Beast Call, the tale of a young woman who can magically communicate with animals in a world where magic is feared, is available for purchase on Kindle, iPad, iPhone, Nook, NookColor, Sony eReader and Kobo for $2.99. Ultimately a story of self-discovery and female empowerment targeting girls 12-17, the novel is already climbing the charts on Amazon.com and a sequel is in the works.

"As an author, I am inspired by the young adult fantasy novels I read as a teenager, where not only did the characters learn something about themselves through the course of the story, as a reader, so did I," said Tibbets. "If one reader can experience that feeling from one of my books, then I have accomplished my goal."

Coinciding with the debut of The Beast Call, Tibbets's previous novel, The Amulet Chronicles, co-authored by Erika Ely Lewis is being released as an e-book on Kindle, Nook and ibooks with new cover art. Originally published in 2007 on Amazon.com, The Amulet Chronicles is the story of a magical amulet that sends the wearer into the past.

Tibbets was recently recognized by the Society of Children's Book Writers and illustrators for her next novel, The Line, a dystopian story about human trafficking in the future which will be released in December, 2011.
