Dallas, TX -- (SBWIRE) -- 10/16/2014 -- Best-Selling Author and former high school drama teacher D. Ann Nadeau of San Tan, Arizona will debut The Legend of Abuela Rose, the first novella in her new series Pirates and Legends on November 11.

Mrs. Nadeau’s first published book – So Many Miracles – became a number one best seller on Amazon. This new series targeting the teen and young adult market anticipates even wider acceptance in an even bigger market.

Written with heart and purpose, The Legend of Abuela Rose is the tale of a young girl who after great loss finds her life’s purpose. Young readers will enjoy the humor and adventure as they come to understand the importance of both kindness and service in the life of a developing young adult.

Heart broken and afraid, Gabriella – the beautiful granddaughter of Abuela Rose – stands atop a windy mountain following the tragic loss of the only family she has known, wondering what will become of her now that she is alone in the world. At the same time, floating on the ocean, surrounding that windy mountain, is a ship captained by a pirate with designs on both Gabriella and her cherished seaside village she calls home.

When the two collide, Gabriella must fight to save all that is important to her even if it means disguising herself to face down the evil Captain Eduardo.

When asked about her experience in writing this book, Mrs. Nadeau said, “Abuela Rose was a labor of love written for my nieces after a trip to Mexico. Once they persuaded me to publish it, turning it into a trilogy seemed the next logical step.”

Jan Myers, LJM Publishing, predicted, “We anticipate terrific excitement around this series of books by both boys and girls. They are appropriately written for this age group. This touching story has such a timely moral message for pre-teens to young adults, and can be read in a couple of hours.”
