I am a writer. My first nationally published novel released in July 2006. The book is called Fablehaven, a fantasy adventure in the same genre as Harry Potter. It is written for ages 9 and up, adults included. Fablehaven is about a hidden refuge established to protect and preserve magical creatures. A brother and sister, Kendra and Seth, discover that their grandfather is the current caretaker of Fablehaven, and trouble ensues. I'm in the mode of trying to get word out about the book, in the spirit of promoting a fabulous underground band. The second book, Fablehaven: Rise of the Evening Star released in May 2007. In September of 2007 my first non-Fablehaven novel releases. It is called the Candy Shop War.
