s4story -- Spirit Sword is a new Young Adult book offered through all national ordering platforms, such as Amazon, Barnes & Noble, and Smashwords. The book centers around a pre-teen facing the death of his parents. The teen, Cale, quickly finds adventure and new friends and foes thanks to the discovery of a talking sword.

"Young adults have a new concept in a book but the author has still found a way to introduce some of the common themes of life and he helps to nudge the reader's moral compass. It's a great fall read, especially during the challenging times of COVID-19," said Tanya Vece, media manager for author Sam Ford.
