"A Colorful Fantasy with Wondrous Characters in a Strange Land."

Every self-published author appreciates a positive book review, but to receive an excellent review and endorsement from Kirkus Reviews is beyond exciting! I submitted my book to Kirkus a few months ago and it was well worth the wait.

The Latest Jumbalot News!

I’m excited to announce the title of the sequel to my award-winning fantasy novel: The Knights of Jumbalot! Alby and Professor Wizoom will return to the magical world of Jumbalot to face an unimaginable evil that threatens their existence. The Knights of Jumbalot must rise and unite to defend their world.  The book is still in its early stages, but I’ll keep everyone updated on my progress and potential release date. Alby is ready for another adventure!

It was a wonderful experience accepting my book’s gold medal on stage at the annual Readers’ Favorite Book Awards. Journey to Jumbalot won a gold medal within the preteen fantasy category last year, but I was unable to attend since my wife and I were both sick with pneumonia. I’d like to thank the event organizers at Readers’ Favorite for allowing me to accept my award this year on stage - it meant a lot to us both! We also attended the massive Miami Book Fair and enjoyed chatting with several fellow authors.
