Alex is 16 and a student at the prestigious St. John’s College High School in Washington D.C. where he is an honor roll student and a starter on the school’s nationally recognized football team.
At the time he and his father started the book, Alex was eight and struggled with dyslexia. So when he began work on the book, he still could not read. He later enrolled in the Lab School in Washington D.C., which teaches children with learning differences. After 12 months of intensive work there, he was reading at his grade level.
Hal is a nationally recognized political consultant who has worked for candidates at the presidential level all the way down to local offices. His work has won numerous creative awards and he helped pioneer the use of statistical modeling and data mining techniques in the political arena. After becoming discouraged by the negative character of political campaigns, he closed his firm in 2010. He continues to do some consulting and is looking forward to a writing career.
"These are dark times in the kingdom of Sonnencrest. Goblins have taken over the castle, and the forests are filled with creatures let loose by the wicked wizard Zindown. The people are starving, freezing and without hope - until three unlikely heroes emerge.
Princess Babette, the last surviving member of the royal family, has been hiding deep in the forest, learning secret magic so she can reclaim her land. She befriends Scodo, a great warrior whose hideous appearance has left him too ashamed to leave his hiding place. Meanwhile, Darrow, a boy with a limp who can barely lift a sword, is starting a revolution.
The Sword of Darrow follows the young hero Darrow as he uses the power of belief and a magical sword to stir the hearts of his broken countrymen. And with a little (unseen) magical help from Babette and Scodo, and the muscle of Sonnencrest's old warriors, Darrow finds himself the leader of an army, facing the powerful goblin force and preparing for a final showdown."
