HICKORY DOCK lives in a cottage on the outskirts of a town he's never known the name of. He doesn't even know the cottage is called a cottage. To him, it's simply the world. You see, he's a mouse. But not just any mouse. He's the great great great great great great great great grandson of the original Hickory D. Dock. The one of whom such a great fuss was raised all those years ago with him running up and down a clock and it striking one and all that.

Geno Allen

An author with a keen heart for story, Geno Allen has been a writer and performer of skits, poems, songs, and radio plays for much of his life. Now, as he and his wife are preparing to start a family, he turns his hand to novel writing. This up and coming author crafts worlds that engage the reader and draw them into adventure—and into a landscape peopled with characters who work their way into your heart and stay with you long after the story has ended. Geno spent his formative years first in the rural outskirts of a small town in Oregon and then in a suburban desert of Southern California. The woods, hills, rivers, rocks, and pavement he explored served as fertile soil to his ever-growing imagination. When he wasn’t slaying fictitious dragons, crafting worlds all his own, or hamming it up with any number of character voices, he was busy playing bass guitar for his local church, and forging (from sticks) all manner of medieval weaponry—and a pair of nunchucks. Today he’s looking forward to his greatest adventure yet... novel-writing-husband-and-father. For more about Geno Allen visit www.genowrites.blogspot.com.
