s4story -- Author Sam Ford's Spirit Sword is racking up positive reviews and outreach with independent book stores. One of Ford's most recent reviews comes from New York Times' best-selling author Kathy Tyers. Tyers is the author of Star Wars: The Truce at Bakura and the Firebird series. Verified audiences are also raving about Ford's YA book Spirit Sword. "This is seriously my new favorite book!" and "Cale has a welcomed and unexpected innocence about him; it doesn't seem likely he will be able to sustain his lead in the story. However, as his character unfolds the reader sees this young 13-year-old slowly mature and find his calling." are some of the rave reviews on Amazon right now.

Spirit Sword is available on Amazon, Barnes & Noble and Smashwords. Independent book stores are being scouted for special virtual author events, too. Spirit Sword was composed to entertain but to bring life lessons to the forefront. Its 13-year-old protagonist is named Cale Tannor whose parents are tragically killed. With fate by his side, Tannor comes into contact with Sword- the last of a race of sentient weapons. And, in an interesting twist, the sword talks!
