About the Books
These fresh and imaginative little books are written for fun, lots of fun and nothing more. Certainly they are written for youth and of course they are intended for kids, but they are also written for that enduring youngster that still resides in each and every one of us.
For kids they are magical tales of high adventure, fast paced romps through tales that could very well be, a run with boys that are as real as you and I, and a taste of life as it should always be: normal in every way yet a little bit out-there, surreal, charming, yet dramatic and fun - and it is always shared with the best of friends.
For older folks, they take us back - return us to those delightful years of hope, romance and wonder. They bring back the freedoms that our earlier years could often deliver and usually did. They caress our memories, touch our souls, and arouse our hopes and our dreams. They tell us maybe what could have been; yet remind us somehow what really was.
Boys, adventure, mystery and fun are the common threads that bind these books together, the common ingredients that can be found in each one. While Potteresque in style, the books are not quite so magical or dark. Based more in reality than magic, many chapters were initiated by real experiences in the life of the author and the several lives of many others. The action is nonstop, never-a-dull-moment the approach. Dave's style is crisp and original. There is no one out there like him-really.
So we welcome you now to the world of the boy. Grab a chair and turn a page. Escape with us from your daily grind, to a better world in a simpler day. .
