- Something About Me and My Book:
- My name is Karen Gammons. I live in Northeast Texas with my wonderful husband Troy, my three children: Caleb, Randi, and Haylee, two cats and a dog.
I am the author of the Prince Andy and the Misfits series. The first book, Shadow Man and the second book, Epidemic in the Dark Lands are available where all books are sold. I am currently working on book 3, Loombria and hope to have it out by Christmas of 2012.
I have always thought that reading a book was like I was traveling through another person’s mind. I do hope you enjoy reading the books that I will be writing, but mostly I hope you enjoy taking a trip through my mind. The first stop will be Filligrim.
Book Teaser
"Andy thought he was just an average sixteen-year-old kid...
But one day his world is completely turned upside down as he learns the unbelievable truth of his identity: he is the prince of a faraway kingdom called Filligrim in the Valley of the Misfits—a magical place where pixies, elves, wizards, and dragons are just as likely to be inhabitants as humans. He was brought to this world following his birth—the only way to keep him from being murdered by his evil malicious grandfather.
Sounding more like a fairytale than reality, Andy at first thinks he must be dreaming. But then his aunt Gladdy reveals even more astonishing news: his mother, the Queen of the Misfits, is in trouble; she's been captured by goblins, and it's up to Andy to rescue her. Still in shock, he makes a decision that will forever alter life as he's known it. He will return to Filligrim and, with the help of six heroic Misfits, will embark on a mission to save the kingdom from the clutches of evil.
In Prince Andy and the Misfits: Shadow Man, Andy encounters one adventure after another as he works to uncover a traitor, rescue the queen from goblins, retrieve a stone of immense power, and solve the mystery surrounding the Shadow Man—the sinister mastermind behind it all. And perhaps most importantly, he must ultimately discover if he has the heart to become a true prince."
Professional Reviews
Lenda Selph--Teacher/Proofreader
I absolutely love this book! The theme of "Misfits" connects with the reader right away, since so many people in real life feel as though they just don't "fit in."
Adults and children will see creatures and kingdoms leap off the pages as the author expertly guides their imaginations, describing a land ne'er before dreamed of.
I can see teachers and parents reading this book to their students/children with the fun of learning new words, like "surreptitiously," and study guide questions to encourage discussion. But the best part of all, it is fun to read--for all ages!

I don't get to this site very often; too busy with writing and life's involvements in these years of my retirement after 50 years of paid-employment and student life: 1949 to 1999.
