Down Root: Down Root, #1

By Emily Watson

Ned is happy to go on spring break with his foster family and friends, and to leave the stresses of college life behind, where his biggest concern in life is passing business calculus. But events are soon triggered that will turn his world upside down. Now the clock is ticking in the hunt for a forgotten artefact. And if he can't find it in time, well, he may not live to fail business calculus anyways...

Emily Watson

Emily G Watson developed a love of story, adventure, and exploration from a young age, living in the deserts of the United Arab Emirates and the rainforests of Singapore before her family finally relocated to Texas. Her adventures both in books and the great big world we call Earth have fueled her imagination and inspired more stories in her head than she could possibly write in one lifetime. She graduated from the University of Houston’s Honors College with a BA in History. After teaching US History for six years in a Northwest Houston public high school, Emily now continues her explorations and adventures as a park ranger.
