Produktbeschreibung

Few realities are as terrible to youth than no access to technology. Yet three kids are forced to endure this very tragedy when a construction mishap leaves their homes without internet or phone service. Worse yet, the school year just ended, and the necessary repairs to the neighborhood will take almost three months to complete. The entire summer!

Daniel, Cece, and Sophie are the three kids who must endure this nightmare. After a week of moping and whining, they finally venture outside and into the nearby forest, if only out of sheer boredom and despair. They soon bump into a boy named Harry. Seemingly raised in the woods, he has little concept of modern technology or boredom, and soon has the three depressed kids riding bikes, building forts, fishing, and otherwise spending their days engrossed in one adventure after another. Unfortunately, Harry's knack for enlivening the days stirs up real danger, and the four suddenly find themselves at odds with a local criminal. Luckily, Harry's old-school ways give the kids the needed skills to bring the villain to justice. Or so they hope. For the criminal will do anything to avoid being caught.

Autorenporträt

The furious scratch of pen to paper. Few sounds are as pleasant to a writer's ear. The thoughts that compel this actionthose ethereal wordsever pool about the mind, whispering, nudging, sometimes even shouting. The urge to write can be restrained for a time. The obligations of life, especially, are a convenient recourse for abeyance. Yet the words keep accumulating, growing, coalescing into paragraph after paragraph of dialogue and prose, straining at the capacities of memory. Finally, they must be released. Thus pours out a deluge of consciousness. Edicts of grammar are obliterated. Penmanship cast aside as flotsam. The once white paper is now stained in scribbles of ink, scribbles that will become tragedies, comedies, badinage, poetic meanderings. New worlds explored, old worlds made new. Thoughts to ponder and thoughts to scoff. But all of it, every single character and setting and conversation is now real, embossed upon the reader's mind.

Are the resulting stories worthy of an audience? An author rarely knows. Only this is certain. The words are again gathering.
