When Your Book Doesn't Sell Like It Should

To be honest, sales of The Magic Eye didn't go as well as I would have liked. So what did I do? I rewrote it. 'Through The Magic Eye' is the first adventure in the magical life of Amelia Pendragon. It is revamped, reworded, improved and should be available soon.
Amelia (Melie) Pendragon is a typical girl of 6 with one special difference. She is the only person alive who can save the world from the evils of High Priestess Faranella. As a direct descendant of Karak Pendragon, Grand Master of all Wizards, she holds the key that could unlock the gates to Faranella's prison on the planet of Zaydon. Faranella's ancient journal called 'The Book of the Future' prophesized the coming of a special being and her spies have waited fifteen hundred years for Melie's birth. Can Karak and his wizard fraternity protect Melie from the powerful High Priestess until she is older and strong enough to defeat her?

Melie reluctantly accepts her fate as her special gifts manifest, firstly by transporting her via webcam in Tucson, Arizona, to visit her father in Manchester, England. Though the trip appears to be instantaneous, en route she discovers the World In-Between - Earth as it was intended to be - and home to Karak and his wizard friends. It is where she begins her lessons in the art and science of magic.
