Action, Adventure, Fantasy Despite the odds!


Adventure Land is now in the final stages of editing. It is due to hit the publishing presses this summer - we hope. Adventure Land is the new novel written by Asher Edelson, 12 year old author and son of Dr. Steve Edelson. This is Asher's first novel. Adventure Land was originally a 440 page novel that was broken into two books. The first book will be published sometime in the summer of 2007 and will be available through Amazon.com. The book is terrific and is creating excitement. After reading Adventure Land, one has an easy time imagining it as a motion picture and perhaps even in an interactive computer and video game format. Keep you eyes peeled for this one folks!

Adventure Land, The Strike of Lightning is the first Novel. It has Action Adventure and Fantasy throughout and is an exciting read! It has dragons, magic, sword fighting, romance (rated g - remember that this was written by a 12 year old), and even dinosaurs. This book is full of intelligent humor, evil enemies and smart heroes.

Asher Edelson is a great kid. Do you know that he wrote this book between the age of 10 through 12, and that he did so with tourette syndrome. He develops ticks, which are involuntary movements that he can not control. For whatever activity he is involved in, he often times develops a tick for that. So, he has a few ticks for typing and writing, which made the task of writing his book even more of a challenge. It isn't often that a 12 year old writes a novel. Having tourette's makes it even more incredible. I am proud of him. This is not a children's book with little content and lots of pictures. This was a 440 page novel that we had to break into two novels. The first novel will be published this summer by Booksurge, an Amazon.com company.
