K.A. DaVur returns with the next installment from the Hausman Guild series - Pepperoni with a Side of Flies! This one has us following the adventures of Tony "Pepperoni" as he struggles with finding time to join his friends on adventures in and out of school, but also keep up with all of his responsibilities at the restaurant, and all the changes that face a young boy of his age - like turning into a monster?!
Just in time for the spooky season, this book continues the tradition of being fun for young adults to read, or parents to read to their children, and entertaining everyone involved. If your kids are looking for something with some GROSS and SCARY and SUSPENSEFUL - but you are having trouble finding something appropriate for their age that doesn't make all the adults look like buffoons, PEPPERONI WITH A SIDE OF FLIES is your solution!

Who is Amanda?
Amanda Rotach Lamkin always knew she wanted to be an author when she grew up. She still plans on growing up someday, but in the meantime she’s too busy being a mom, a wife, a publisher, and an author. She has written children’s picture books, young adult adventure novels, post-apocalyptic dystopian tales, and paranormal romance murder-mysteries. In her spare time, such as it is, she owns Line by Lion Publications, an independent international press that helps other authors’ stories come to life. She is an avid and voracious reader, will watch sappy movies that make her cry every time, and falls asleep to the sound of gun battles in action flicks.
She currently does her writing on a small farm in Louisville, KY, where with her husband she is raising four kids, a small garden, and a number of animals that are mostly rescues who are now living their best life.
