The Big Reveal…

Lots of people have been asking us, “So what is your book about?” Up until now, we’ve been keeping mum. But no more! Here is a brief summary:   In opulent Albright City, twelve-year-old Phoebe Plumm leads a reclusive life of luxury, concocting sly pranks to torment her rowdy servant boy, Micah. The illustrious Dr. Jules Plumm is her father and only friend, but because of his work at The Foundry, a global corporation with a monopoly on technology, she rarely gets to see him. Then one fateful night, Dr. Plumm is brutally abducted. Phoebe and an uninvited Micah risk everything on a daring rescue, pursuing her father down a mysterious train tunnel and into a land unknown. The kids find themselves stranded in a world of living metal, intruders in a majestic yet fearsome realm and fugitives of the all-powerful Foundry. Pampered Phoebe and would-be hero Micah must learn to trust each other if they hope to survive. But as the unlikely pair get closer to Dr. Plumm, they will unearth the tie that binds their world to this one, a sinister secret that could change everything.   Oh, and it’s official. “The First Book of Ore: The Foundry’s Edge” comes out in April 2014!
