ABOUT THE BACKWARDS SERIES

Although The Backwards Series are exciting and entertaining books for young and old alike, the true excitement is in the unique way that the books are printed. As a reminder of the everyday troubles of a dyslexic, The Glass Tears... Mystic Pool... and Curse of the Stolen Cross... are printed backwards, with the last page being the first. The books will not be annoying or difficult to read. They are meant to be a simple reminder that dyslexics must think twice before doing anything. Something as basic as turning a page may go against their natural inclination to do the opposite.

The Backwards Series has already received much support from editors and teachers. They've said they would love to have the book on their student reading list.

The Glass Tears is the first book in a series of intergenerational fiction stories. It is about the summer adventures of four boys growing up in the small town of Smithville, Texas. The main character, Ben, has dyslexia, and the book touches on the hardships of such a learning disability while remaining humorous and entertaining. The book begins as the boys decide to reveal the town recluse (whom they think cries glass tears) as a witch. Ben soon discovers that he shares a secret with a lonely woman. By the end of the book, the reader is attached to the characters and in love with Miss Maggie, the lonely woman.

Previously, Ramona Tipton published Test Driving Men, a romantic comedy about a girl's club whose eccentric members suffer with dyslexia and other learning differences.
