ROUND ROCK, Texas – Wayne Rankin announces his entry to the publishing scene with the release of “Wayne, the Nerd from Arizona” (published by Xlibris), the story of a boy and his adventure from Luke AFB Phoenix, Arizona, to Spangdahlem Air Base, Germany and his amazing transformation from an ugly caterpillar to a beautiful butterfly.

Wayne is a good kid but has always had a hard time making friends. His dad is an air force master sergeant. He travels a lot, even overseas. Now, Wayne is in a new school and feels unsure of himself. He has pimples on his forehead, crooked teeth, and mended glasses.

Wayne, the nerd, has to deal with his appearance and the challenge of being a wanderer. However, he is not alone; there are others just like him and growing up is about changes. However, how will he face his problems as he grows up?

“This book is about everyone and tells a very encouraging story. It is about how important self-esteem is today as it was yesterday,” Rankin says. When asked what he wants readers to take away from the book, he answered, “For them to remember that life is about change.”
