About this author

Kevin McGill is the mad writer of the Nikolas & Company series where the Moon is much more than we think, mermen walk on automaton legs, and 14-year-old boys talk to cities in their heads.

He's also the author who launched his book into space ->

When not spinning Lunar yarns, Kevin hosts a weekly books podcast Guys Can Read along with his college buddy and co-host, Luke Navarro. Find Kevin’s blog kevinmcgill.wordpress.com and Twitter @kevinonpaper



Remember awhile back when 5th grader, Sethie, used to hate to read, but got hooked because of Nikolas and Co. His mother just told me he got a reading award from his school.

And can I say I absolutely love it that he got an award for “Reading for Pleasure”. What better reason to read?

“A story gives people some type of a handhold through their lives. They need to know that what they're doing now has a middle and it has an end. And they need to know that this end ends well for them. And if it doesn't, they need to write a different story.”
Kevin McGill

Sorry for the delay, Dana. Our cover designer was late on the cover so everything got pushed back. It will be late May. In the meantime you can check out the awesome cover: http:\\overthewoodfence.wordpress.com
