There’s a secret in Lobo Cliff, Florida, a small town just miles from Tampa Bay. A quartet of fourth graders, all close friends, had discovered something in the woods that would haunt them for the rest of their lives - a secret only they knew about, until Mr. King shot it. Not only was the werewolf a friend, but before he was killed, each kid had inherited its curse, and now a newcomer to town, the new school principal, suspects. Something ain’t right in this town as he’s about to find out - and that discovery could cause serious repercussions to all who dwell in Lobo Cliff, and eventually – to the world. It’s up to the kids to stop him and they will give it all they have, even if it means losing it all, to keep the curse at home… in Lobo Cliff.
Rod was born and raised in Tampa, Florida and was attracted to words at an early age. His first book “The Boy Who Liked To Read” was created in grade school, his teacher kept it. Eventually he discovered comic books, but his High School English teacher told him to try short story writing. He wrote middle grade adventure "The Juniors" that was picked up by a publisher, and the rest – as they say, is history.
