Autor

Dear Readers, "Arianna Kelt and the Wizards of Skyhall" was my debut novel and I wrote the book when I was 12 years old. About a year and a half later, and after a lot of hard work, the book was published (in 2006). In 2008, the sequel, "Arianna Kelt and the Renegades of Time," was published, shortly after my 15th birthday. As of this writing, I am 17 years old and hard at work on "Arianna Kelt and the Return of Mobius." For those who have written to ask about the name, Mobius, it does indeed come from two sources. A "mobius" is a wakeboarding trick with a 360 and a flip and roll. A "mobius strip" is a continuous single-sided surface. The character Mobius is a slippery, trickster, as you'll know if you read the books! I've always loved reading. My favorite books are filled with humor, action, and adventure. I've been writing stories and reading them to friends and in school for as long as I can remember. When I was in the fourth grade I started writing even more stories, and my teacher encouraged me to write a book. I started several books, but it wasn't until I started writing "Arianna Kelt and the Wizards of Skyhall" that I really put my heart into it. "Arianna Kelt and the Wizards of Skyhall" is the first book in the Wizards of Skyhall trilogy. My whole point in writing "Arianna Kelt and the Wizards of Skyhall" was to create the kind of book that I loved reading. I wanted it to be a really good book, and I worked very hard to make sure it had everything I think makes a good book. I hope when you read it you think it's cool. My favorite part of the book is how the wizards protect the people of earth from all the bad things, and how the wizards can step through portals to travel to other worlds and dimensions. I like how Arianna was a bad kid who becomes a force for good. As I wrote about Arianna, Meilan, Ranth, and all the rest, they became like good friends. The growing friendship between Arianna, Meilan, and Ranth is strong and an important part of the story. I hope you like the wizarding universe I created. I tried to make it as real and complex as our own with strange new worlds and places to visit. See you in Xjoz!
