     As a child, KALEB NATION had to be forced by his mother to write one page a week in creative writing. But by the time he finished his first story, no one could make him to stop. Age twelve, Kaleb promptly telephoned the senior editor of a major publisher to pitch the book...and got to talk with security instead.

 

     But as with most writers, not even that could stifle his dream. On the third night of the third month in 2003, age 14, Kaleb had a sudden idea that began the story of Bran Hambric, a novel which would take most of his teenage years to write. In early 2007, Kaleb finished the first book (Bran Hambric: The Farfield Curse), set for a 9-9-09 release from Sourcebooks Jabberwocky.

 

Aside from writing, Kaleb hosted his first radio show in Texas at age 13. He later launched his own program in 2006 called The Top 5, which grew to be broadcast on AM, FM, Internet and satellite radio stations across the globe.

 

     Kaleb has been featured in Entertainment Weekly, MTV News, ReelzChannel, BusinessWeek, Publisher's Weekly, and others. His blogs have been visited over 4 million times, and his YouTube videos have been received over 4.2 million plays.
