Mike Klaassen's Blurbs |
About me:
When my sons were teenagers, I decided to write novels that might interest them. In 2005 my first novel, The Brute, was published by Windstorm Creative of Port Orchard, WA. My second novel, Cracks, was published in September, 2006. I'm currently working on a novel set during the War of 1812.
|
Who I'd like to meet:
Readers of young-adult novels who have questions or comments about books written by me or other authors.
Writers interested in sharing their thoughts about the challenges and rewards of writing, especially for young adults.
