The campaign to save California's children was only the beginning. Now Lance and Ricky target America's most sacred document - The Constitution. Native American teens Kai and Dakota-harboring secrets of their own-join the crusade and swear undying loyalty to Lance. They carry the hope of their people that the movement will better the lives of Indian children, who are inexcusably neglected by government. This new campaign will take the young people to The White House, the halls of Congress, and beyond in their quest to change the prevailing opinion that children are property, rather than human beings in their own right. But an unseen nemesis stalks Lance and ratchets up the attacks on New Camelot, promising to destroy all that Arthur has put in place. "You were right, little boy, death is coming for you, but slowly, and only after it takes out the people you love." These chilling words haunt Lance, but also strengthen his resolve to protect the people he loves. Or die trying. The Lance Chronicles Continue…
Autorenporträt
Michael J. Bowler grew up in San Rafael, California, and majored in English and Theatre at Santa Clara University. He went on to earn a master's in film production from Loyola Marymount University, a teaching credential in English from LMU, and another master's in Special Education from Cal State University Dominguez Hills. He taught high school in Hawthorne, California-both in general education and to students with learning disabilities-in subjects ranging from English and Strength Training to Algebra, Biology, and Yearbook. He has been a volunteer Big Brother to eight different boys with the Catholic Big Brothers Big Sisters program, and a decades-long volunteer within the juvenile justice system in Los Angeles. He has been honored as Probation Volunteer of the Year, YMCA Volunteer of the Year, California Big Brother of the Year, and 2000 National Big Brother of the Year. The "National" honor allowed him and three of his Little Brothers to visit the White House and meet the president in the Oval Office. He has completed three as-yet-unpublished novels aimed at the teen market, and one for middle grade. His goal as an author is for teens and middle schoolers to experience empowerment and hope; to see themselves in his diverse characters; to read about kids who face real-life challenges; and to see how kids like them can remain decent people in an indecent world. The most prevalent theme in his writing is this: as a society, and as individuals, we're better off when we do what's right, not what's easy.
