With much excitement, I would like to announce our very own Aspyn Winter's debut novel, "The Crossroads", has officially released! She is now our FIRST published student Novelist from SSHS and the district.
Last April, the Raider Library hosted author Stephen Kozan, creator of the publishing company Ready.Aim.Write Kids. His interactive speaking engagement pulled elements from the entire literary world and by the end of the session, 70 students were all actively writing what's called "Flash Fiction" for a chance to be chosen to write their very own novel under Mr. Kozan's publishing company.
The link below will take you to purchase your very own copy. For people that aren't familiar with the ins and outs of writing, it's incredibly difficult and why writing a novel is a pipe dream for most people. The biggest thing an aspiring author can do is write "The End", which Aspyn did. I can't express how proud I am of her for not stopping when it became difficult to get the words on paper, or when imposter syndrome hit, or especially finishing an ENTIRE novel while currently taking 5 AICE classes, 1 AP class, 3 dual enrollment classes, as well as her extra-curricular activities.
