So I have an old friend David (Bo to me, Bowdoin to the literati) wrote this book, The Journeys of Isle.  Isle’s the hero, a swashbuckling raconteur stuck mysteriously in Missouri of all places. He’s lost, amnestic, in the wrong world among the wrong people, and the cops are after him for a string of arson in the area.

Isle quickly finds, though, that he may not be the only one new to the modern world, and his counterpart may be willing to go to greater extremes to get home.

How is this all connected? What happens to Isle? Does he ever get back home? Why Missouri?

Having recently finished the Journeys of Isle, I know all this. I recommend reading it and finding out for yourself.

Actually, though, it is a really cool book. A fun adventure/fantasy book that I thought was really well-plotted. Definitely a great read.

Go buy yourself a copy, or go check out the website to learn more about the book.

I probably should talk about this too much, but I have it on good authority that a pseudo-sequel is in the works and may be out in the next few months. From what I’ve seen of it, it’s even better than this, but I’d definitely read Journeys if you want to be on top of the next one.
