Introduction
J.R. King's twelve-year-old antihero turned
hero,
Arianna
Kelt, is a reformed
thief and
wizard seer. Now you wouldn't think being a wizard
seer would be such a big deal, but it is a big deal to the Wizards
of Skyhall. For you see, those particular wizards are sworn to
protect the citizens of
Earth from all the things they shouldn't know
about--namely wizards,
warlocks, and all the creatures of the magical
realms that no humans should know exist.
Certainly
Arianna Kelt would like
to blame all her troubles on donuts--the vile, corrupting
food that has caused her
problems more than once--but she couldn’t. Well, not quite. The
truth was she got nabbed sneaking a piece of cherry cobbler, and
just when she thought her luck was running out, she saw the wizard,
and of course, seeing the wizard got her into a whole new barrel of
problems.
Full of humor, action, and adventure, you’ll be
rolling on the floor with laughter, sitting on the edge of your
seat, and turning pages so fast the
Law Gnomes will be out to get you too. Enter
Skyhall and become a
wizard if you dare!
From the Author From Amazon.com
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.
I finished writing the book when I was twelve. My
sixth-grade
teacher
encouraged me to try to get it published. I tried and tried and in
six months time I had several interested publishers, but the
problem was they didn’t know I was a kid. When I got another letter
from a local publisher, I decided to tell them I was only twelve.
They were so nice that that’s the publisher I decided to have as my
publisher. The publisher worked with me for over a year on the
book.
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. If
I’ve succeeded, I hope you’ll spread the word. Tell your friends.
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
around every corner.
