Brian J Abela

Originally from Canada and of Maltese descent, Brian began his writing career creating Skill Developing History Workbooks for young students studying Maltese history. After successfully completing the trilogy workbook, Brian then decided to put the proverbial pen to paper and flesh out a story for readers 8 years and older that had been in his mind for a number of years. He is currently promoting both the digital and hard copy format of his story with plans of writing a sequel in the near future.
