The Adventures of Hickory Dock: The Second Book

By Geno Allen

Hickory Dock had quite recently lived in a cottage on the outskirts of a town he never knew the name of. He hadn't even known the cottage was called a cottage. To him, it had simply been the world. You see, he was a mouse—the Eighth Great grandson of the original Hickory D. Dock—but he’d never been allowed to hear that tale, for in it lay the secret his uncle Trickery Trickery Dock had been keeping for years.

The truth was Hickory was not an orphan. His parents were alive. At least his mother was. His father was still a question, but Hickory was in fact the son of The Dock, and that was something of great importance. Moreover he was an Eighth Great, and that meant he could open doors, but not just any doors—doors through clocks. So, that’s what he was going to do.

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.
