Book Description

Ready for another tangle? The Long Land is a strange and dangerous place, but at the edge of the continent is a dark gap--the Shadow Strait. It is a void between realities, and no one who enters has ever been known to return. So, of course, Sawyer Jackson and his friends and family are on their way there. As Sawyer’s destiny, to save the Omniverse from the dark and twisted Aeodyumus, comes into sharper focus, things get fuzzy around the edges of Sawyer’s reality. Difficult choices, questionable allies, and new enemies all conspire to make it difficult to know what path to take, and who to trust. Sawyer finds himself in yet another tangle, and this time there may be no way out. >>> "Finally, YA fantasy that doesn't talk down to the reader! This is smart fiction, with a strong voice. It’s like a mashup of Hunger Games, Harry Potter, and the Iron Druid Chronicles, with a pinch of Doctor Who for flavor.” -- HPB Review ˃˃˃ "Excellent YA Fantasy/Sci-Fi Series Debut, with a hint of Neil Gaiman." -- Jamie Maltman, author of "Bush with Darkness" ˃˃˃ "I found myself connecting with Sawyer, a homeschooled teen with a knack for following his curiosity and instinct, and was drawn into discovering the world of knotwork alongside him. Such a fascinating idea! " -- Pam Laricchia, author of "Free to Learn" ˃˃˃ "The characters are completely believable (think Orson Scott Card) and the story concept is a new and surprising twist on the concept of the standard Sci-Fi multiverse. I have been following Kevin Tumlinson's work for a couple of years now, this latest book is definitely his best so far. He has found his own Voice as a writer, and I like that Voice." -- David Grundy "Tumlinson's Sawyer Jackson reaches new fantasy heights — a real contender in the fantasy genre!" "Slip into the Knotwork ... a new and unique fantasyland from Kevin Tumlinson." "Incredible flights of fantasy!" "A slight bit of fantasy noir, and yet still the Sawyer Jackson series could even be an appropriate set of fantasy books for kids age 9-12."

Book Description

EVERY KNOT CAN BE UNTIED Beyond the layers, beyond the Long Land, beyond the Omniverse itself, the White Room awaits. Some call it death. Some think of it as purgatory—a waiting room to the afterlife. For Sawyer and his family, it's just one more stop on the journey to battle Aeodymus, and prevent him from unravelling all of reality. As Sawyer and his companions fight their way through dark minions and twisted creatures, they face off against a new threat—the villainous Loom and his army of monsters.

Book Description

IT WAS GOING TO BE CALLED "THE BOOK OF KEVIN" But that sounded too "manifesto." It started with Neil Gaiman recommending a notebook, and an author marking his 50th birthday. Every day, for 123 days, a bestselling novelist wrote down the little bits of wisdom he'd heard and learned from mentors and family and friends over the years, as well as some things he'd thought of all on his own. And after the notebook was full he typed it all up, read it all through, and somehow learned a few new things himself. A Note from the Author is 123 days of exploration and reflection, inspiration and extrapoltion. From Stoic philsophy to folksy wisdom, every page has something to teach and carry with you. From "Grattitude is a Cheat Code" to the uncomfortable notion that "The Obstacle Could Be You," this book is packed with the sort of wisdom you would hope to get from a true friend or a brilliant mentor. And no one is more surprised about it than the author himself. START YOUR JOURNEY WITH SOME WORDS FROM A TRUE WISE GUY
