What if you discovered that the legendary stories from destinations such as Hogwarts, Middle Earth, Narnia and Oz had all been shared with the world to set the stage for an even greater saga? What if after hundreds of years and endless myths and fables, you rode the Train of Thought from "A" all the way to "Z" and found a Capital City to this realm of fantasy? As the new millennium begins, Zing's royal family has every reason to be concerned. Their kingdom is under attack, and all their nemesis needs is the small but powerful key a new visitor to Zing has mysteriously inherited. The society of eternal children, known as "Puresands," will use every ounce of magic to protect their kingdom, but the fate of the Imagine Nation now rests in a very dangerous place - a grown up's hands. Adventure and suspense, villains and heros, mystery and magic... Everything Zing is your invitation to the Imagine Nation's ultimate destination - and saga!
Like most of his generation, Grant Stone blames his parents. In this case, that's a very good thing. His father was an English teacher, and his mother taught 2nd grade, so his profession as the author of "Everything Zing" shouldn't come as a surprise... even though it's taken almost four decades to realize.
More importantly, his parents took their three sons (Grant being the oldest) on endless summer vacations. Camping all across America as a kid... is it any wonder he caught an unquenchable case of wanderlust?
Grant graduated with a triple Business degree (Accounting, Marketing & Management), but his career has always focused on writing and exploration. For over a decade, he's worked as the Editor on Crystal Cruises' luxury vessels, traveling to hundreds of destinations in over 145 countries.
After reading Winter, I thought it would be some more of the same good stuff. I was wrong! It went in a different AND BETTER direction! Tons of wonder and mystery combined with some action. I still tend to like the child-like imagination Grant Stone must have that oozes out of each book. I can't wait to read Summer!
