Evan Horowitz has it all: beauty, brains, and a not-so-secret flair for
matchmaking! An Insta influencer with a talent for makeup and a taste
for romance, he’s no stranger to playing Cupid for the clueless. So
when shy new student Natalia shuffles into school, Evan recognises a
Project with a capital P! With so many matches to choose from, it’s not
long before he sets a plan in motion, much against the better judgement
of his level-headed best friend, Davi. When he takes things too far, a
web of drama spirals out of his control. Can Evan learn to put his
friends before his misguided ambition? Or will he lose them and his own
chance at romance, too?

Follow Juney Brown Toes, a young and adventurous Hare, her friends Slow Freddy and Tufty Thomas, and many others, as they spend a remarkable 'Mad March' day, racing, chasing and being chased by friends and enemies alike. What will Juney do when the evil Grey Hound shows up unexpectedly in the middle of a dangerous 'Hare of the Dog' game, and will Farmer, and his daughter Samantha, be of any help to save poor Slow Freddy from the jaws of the Grey Hound! Hare's have been a fascination of mine for sometime. I've rarely seen one! I remember walking above Lancaster, my hometown, some years ago. It was a beautiful, crisp, sunny morning and the ground was covered in a layer of snow. In nearly every field we walked through a Hare would bolt from the hedge nearby and race across the snow covered ground. They were magical to watch, almost alien in appearance, and completely fascinating to me. I have since done research on them, and they become more interesting with every new fact I learn. They are ancient animals, and ever present in mythologies from around the world. They are low down on the food chain, and even buck rabbits have been known to kill Leverets now and then. Speed and stealth are their only defenses, and they have been clocked at near forty-five miles an hour, one of the fastest land animals. Anyway I digress, this book is about Hares, it is primarily written as a 'read to' book, for children of all ages. It is an adventure/fantasy short story, and Hares are the heroes, with a little girl taking a strong supporting role. The cherry-wood carving of the Hare actually exists in my garden, and its origins, bought from the side of the road from a bodger, are true too. Otherwise this is a work of fiction written out of a love and fascination for Hares, I hope you enjoy.
