Produktbeschreibung

What if you could take make believe and make it real? It's the summer of 1988 and little is normal about Will and Sandra, except for the name of their town, Normal, Illinois. The two precocious eight-year-olds share overactive imaginations, a love of baseball and genuine affection for each other. But over the course of a single, fateful week at the beginning of their summer vacation the duo discovers budding superhero powers. Each day is a new adventure and an excuse for them to get on their bikes and enjoy being kids. Down the street from where they live is a spooky old house. An elderly woman and her older brother live there along with an overly protective dog that barks at the kids, frightening them as they pass by the house on their bikes. Children in the neighborhood believe the old lady is actually a witch and the old house is haunted. And there's a rumor that she keeps kids locked in her basement. Sandra helps Will overcome his lack of confidence. Will convinces Sandra to stand up to her mother and become what she wants to be. Together, the kids use a map/maze that Sandra created to explore their imaginations, taking a detour through a fantastic world where they serve as fairy royalty. But when reality rudely intrudes on their idyllic world, Will and Sandra unlock their true potential as a crime fighting team when they are forced to save the day from two dangerous men.

Autorenporträt

Elgon Williams is a Global Publicist and Author currently living in Central Florida. He has worked in Retail Management for much of his adult life, but also has experience in Computer Repair, Technology Consulting, Advertising, Public Relations and Sales Management. Born in Springfield, Ohio, Williams grew up on a farm near the town of South Charleston and the village of Selma in rural southeastern Clark County, "...about two miles from nowhere and between cornfields." He graduated from Shawnee High School in 1974. In the fall of that year he began studies at Purdue University in West Lafayette, Indiana, receiving a BA in Mass Communication in 1978. Later, in 1981 he received a degree in Marketing Administration from The University of Texas in Austin. In 1983 he joined the US Air Force and attended the Defense Language Institute at the Presidio of Monterey in California where he studied Chinese Mandarin. Upon completion of military training he spent two years in Asia. Shortly after returning to the US, Williams left the military and began a long career in management. Although his early writing is considered sci-fi and fantasy, it is difficult to classify his work as any single genre. His most recent publications, Fried Windows (In a Light White Sauce) and Becoming Thuperman, blend urban fantasy and science fiction. Upcoming projects include Homer Underby, the sequel to Becoming Thuperman, Castles of Nija Bread, sequel to Fried Windows and the first installment of the long anticipated epic fantasy, Wolfcats. All books will be released through Pandamoon Publishing.
