Guest Promo (CXLVIII) Marcy McKay

I am thrilled to host today an American author coming from Texas, Marcy McKay. She presents her debut novel


                            Pennies from Burger Heaven 

Blurb



Eleven-year-old Copper Daniels is homeless and alone. She spends her nights sleeping beneath the cemetery’s Warrior Angel statue for protection, and her days battling the mean streets of Remington, Texas, hell-bent on discovering what happened the night her Mama disappeared. While Copper and her rag-tag group of friends find danger at every corner, two horrors are certain: her Mama’s really missing and someone’s after Copper, too.
