Acclaimed Children's Book Now Available in Hardback
NEW YORK: Jan-Carol Publishing, Inc., of Johnson City, Tennessee, is proud to announce that The Purple Bird by Dylan Roche is now available in hardback!
Dylan Roche is a journalist, editor, actor, director, playwright, teacher, and marathon runner based in Annapolis, Maryland. The Purple Bird is his first novel. When asked what inspired him to write the book, Roche responded, "I was inspired to write The Purple Bird after countless hours of imagining the ultimate magical adventure that every kid would want to be a part of, but what I was surprised to explore while I was writing it was how that adventure changes him and those he's closest to—and what he learns when he's pushed outside his comfort zone in ways he didn't expect he would be."
In The Purple Bird nothing can prepare James Shannassy for the afternoon when he meets a figment bird called Archit and the two of them set o for the world of Nalgordia to break a centuries-old curse. Being the hero of his own fantasy adventure isn't exactly what James expected it to be, but when he finds himself caught up in an epic fight against a force of evil, he knows he might be the only one able to stop it. Archit's fate now rests entirely in his hands...and there's no turning back now!
"Calling all fans of fantasy fiction! In Dylan Roche's The Purple Bird, be prepared to embark on a magical, mystical, and perilous journey that will hold you spellbound from the first word to the last. Roche is a natural storyteller whose gift shines brilliantly in his beautifully crafted novel." —Martha Jane Orlando, A Trip, a Tryst and a Terror, Children in the Garden, The Moment of Truth, Revenge!, Redemption, Revelation
