    About this ebook

    The conclusion to the Writers Federation of New Brunswick award winning short story for the young adult category, Blood Day was created out of a looming deadline, a bit of encouragement and dedication to writing a story.

    I've always been told we all bleed red, take breaths, and die if poisoned so I often wondered why I wasn't dead yet.

    In this glimpse of the life of someone who just isn't what the books say she should be, we try to understand what it means to be human, a person and fit in with the expectations that surround us.

    The answer to everyone's question of what, or who, is Veronica first seen in Blood Day the Short Story. This story has five 5 Star reviews on Amazon.com but the consensus was readers want more!

    Follow Veronica as she discovers who she is while meeting a child she helps heal from a traumatic few years of life.

    We all have an imagination that can take us places, let's see if yours took you in this direction.

    Sarah Butland

    Sarah Butland was born in Ontario, the year was 1982. She was moved to New Brunswick for over 15 years and now resides at home in Nova Scotia, Canada. Butland has been married to her high school sweetheart and has a superstar son named William. Besides home schooling and working part time, Sarah finds time to follow her dream of being an author and teaching others that they can do the same.Butland started creating while still learning to walk and in years to follow was able to put a writing utensil to paper to document her creations before they were completely lost. Of course, her first manuscripts were in dire need of editing but she didn’t seem to mind nor did her readers.The first “big break” for Butland came when she was still a teenager feeling like she was unlike every other teenager she knew. She heard from a poetry contest that her poem “Wrong Shell” would be published in their anthology; would she kindly send them thousands of dollars to continue on in the finals. Butland’s parents refused. So began the struggle of discovering which awards were actually earned not bought.Limiting herself to contest submissions from then on, Sarah Butland realized her career of writing would be a difficult struggle no matter the talent she held inside or was forced out. Many stories, attempts at novels and thousands of ideas later, Butland created BananaBoy and the Adventures of Sammy was born with Sending You Sammy, her first published children’s book. Then came Brain Tales – Volume One, a collection of short stories Arm Farm, her current literary pride and joy and Blood Day - the Short Story and the Novella.Butland’s next accomplishment planned to be winning the Amazon Breakthrough Novel Award which would then be mentioned among her most joyous literary accomplishments. Unfortunately she didn’t win the 2011 award but is now working on new and greater things.Thanks for reading,Sarah Butland
