Surf City resident Corinne Ruff has written and published the first “fairy tale” with Long Beach Island as its setting.
Ruff’s debut novel, Aviona, in the genre of upper-middle-grade magical realism, about a carousel horse that comes to life and flies around the world having adventures, was released Nov. 28, holding the distinction of No. 1 New Release on Amazon for a week and No. 3 on Amazon’s Best Seller list for a week. A book signing event is scheduled for Dec. 19 from 1 to 4 p.m. at Fantasy Island Amusement Park, outside, socially distanced.
