Picayune

by John DeJordy

Overview

Picayune might be just a dormouse, but he always has dreams of grandeur -- from knights and princesses to adventures in faraway lands. Little did he know he would have to overcome his shy, timid ways and embark on his own adventure through the Land of Red Tails, the underground lair of the badgers, the sky mountain fortress of the Hoo-Caw tribe and more in search of his best friend, Ameera.

Does Picayune have what it takes? In his dreams, perhaps.

Big things come in small sizes. . . .

A story of over coming obsticles and believing in yourself

About the Author

So, what can I say about myself?

I was born in Ohio, but grew up in Holyoke, MA in the 70s and 80s, when computers were still in their infancy. As such, most of my youth was spent reading, or using my imagination to go exploring. My first exposure to fantasy actually came from my chemistry teacher, who ran the school’s “Dungeon’s and Dragons” club. That exposure unlocked something inside me, creating a deeper passion for the art of writing.

I have many passions. I explore game worlds such as those created by Sony Online Entertainment. I enjoy the challenge of board and thinking games like chess or Sudoku. I’ve co-owned my own L.A.R.P., where my friends and I created a whole fantasy universe. The plots we created were complex and diverse enough to fill a bookcase. It was that passion that finally forced me to put my ideas in print.

As I continue, seeking to get all my work published, I hope you can journey with me as we explore the worlds I intend to create for you.

If anything, it will be an interesting ride.
