Greetings dreamers,

My name is Kermit – no relation to the Frog, thank you very much, even though I write about stuffed animals.

Growing up on authors like Octavia Butler, Madeleine L’Engle, and Neil Gaiman, I hope POGURI and the Land of Nou™ will bring as much joy and spark as much conversation as they have.

Poguri and the Land of Nou will be a young adult novel with a little something to offer to readers of all ages. It is a story intended as a throwback to the grimmer and more visceral tales, liberal in their use of darker themes.

I hope that the book will inspire discussion in grade-school book clubs and literature courses at every level, and that it will bridge the gap between literature and popular fiction.

In the meantime, you can read some of the sample chapters, follow the story updates on the blog, and let me know how I’m doing.  Your feedback can only make the final story better.

Yours truly,
