Runaway Hit Novel: Vessie Flamingo Outshining the Moon Defies POD Stigma
Overwhelming reader response forces first-time novelist, Jerelyn Craden, to write early sequel. Maui to Chicago, Thailand to Toronto, internet sales give thumbs up to the little novel that could.
Toronto, ON (PRWEB) September 4, 2006 -- The runaway hit novel, Vessie Flamingo – Outshining the Moon has touched a chord with readers from Maui to Chicago, Thailand to Toronto without the backing of the traditional major publisher machine. Online sales through all major bookstores’ websites and bookstores: Toronto Women’s Bookstore, This Ain’t the Rosedale Library, Book City Annex, Wonder Works plus special-orders have forced the writing of an early sequel.
This funny, highly compelling page-turner is about finding the courage to say “no” to what you don’t want in your life, “yes” to what you do, and taking the leap and creating it.
Meet Vessie VanCortland on her roller-coaster journey to self-mastery and love. Psychic at five, a healer at ten, a levitator-meditator at 19 – now, an overworked jingle writer at 30 – Vessie sets out to change her life and live authentically. With her wisecracking Inner Child, an ancient yoga technique, and the long-distance support of the unforgettable Mrs. Smith – her surrogate Jewish mother who speaks in a mish-mash of sayings only Vessie understands – she takes the leap, but with unexpected consequences.
Meet Jerelyn Craden who began her personal journey as a singer-songwriter in Los Angeles, joined Rachel Rosenthal’s ‘Instant Theatre’ ensemble, then moved to Toronto where she wrote for, and performed on television, radio, and in theatre. As a top voiceover, jingle and animation performer her credits include: Inspector Gadget, X-Men and C.O.P.S. She is an ACTRA award winner for Best Television Variety Writer. Network credits include sitcom, family/adventure and animation series. As Creative Director and Writer of event marketing projects for Fortune 500 companies in the United States and Canada, her credits include, IBM’s “Right at Home” (presented at the Presidential Inaugural) and Union Pacific Railroad’s “Delivering America’s Dreams” (presented at the Democratic and Republican national conventions).
Vessie Flamingo – Outshining the Moon is her first novel.

Judy Pomerantz. Tarzana, CA: I fell in love with Vessie in the first few pages. Every woman should read about this tenacious young lady who finds out what is important in life and pursues it for herself. It is a GREAT read.
Millie Szerman, Incline Village, Nevada: Vessie Flamingo embodies a character, sure to hit a home-run with everyone! Truly an adventure into self, told in a witty, energetic style, this novel held my interest throughout, touched my heart and soul, and addressed issues that are often poo-pooed even by today's standards!
Joel Zetzer, Los Angeles, CA: Bravo! Just finished reading Vessie at 2:30 AM. I think that says it all.

From the first chapter, everyone will fall in love with Vessie. I am certain that most readers will not only enjoy this book through their laughter and tears of joy, but will sincerely wish that Ms. Craden will summon up her extraordinary "powers" in order to write the much desired sequel.
