Swim At Your Own Risk: A Shameless Blog Entry Promoting A Great Book

Hi kids! Yes, it's been a while since I actually did a blog entry. So, fasten your seat belts and get ready for this one.

I just said something about the fact that I'm not really a cheerleader in body or personality but I am loyal and quite the champion of causes that inspire me. Yes, yes. You get it. A sales pitch is coming! And here I thought I was so cagey and stealthyishlike.

If I like you, I am gonna be your biggest fan. No, not like the chick in Misery. That's too weird. And scary. And crap! That stuff can happen in real life. But I digress.

I recently met a man who keeps me entertained and interested. And that's saying a lot. He's also an author. And a father. And he's semi-sane and normal. You know I prefer the sane ones.

Ken and his sons are great story-tellers. They had an oral version of a fantastic story running through their heads. Ken finally put pen to paper. Okay, he put fingers to keyboard but I was going for a phrase there.

I have had the great pleasure to be able to read the book before it hit the presses. I have read it several times. Each time, I enjoyed it more. And I'm not usually an adventure/action reader. Yet, I found myself more and more intrigued with the story. I felt part of the scenes, the battles and came to really love the characters. And I want more!!! Can't wait for the next book...

I admire people who actually DO things in life. They don't just talk. And Ken did something. He wrote the story. And his sons were very involved in the process. For me, that is seriously awesome. He is fostering a love of writing, creating, following through and actually producing, in these boys. They have a bedtime tale that is destined to be a best seller.

This book has it all. There is action. And adventure. And fun characters. The silly puns and jokes will entertain you. Your imagination will run wild as you tour the slums of Dume and meet scruffies at every turn. The descriptive writing will engage you and your children. As you travel through the scenes, you will be eager to learn more. No fear, this is only the beginning of the series.

Heck, this book is so educational, it even has a library scene! C'mon moms, how could you go wrong buying this one for the kids?? Did you hear me? LIBRARY scene!!

In this book, you will be introduced to all kinds of fun things. Here are some teasers to whet your appetite:
