A Hole
in the Sea: the Weather Casters, book two.
Parsifal
and Balder are trapped on the arctic ice after Lady Vasille and Lord Keazund
vanish into the Sea. The magical Compass shows Parsifal dire warnings of storm
and mermaid. Unable to resist the hole in the ice, the two friends find
themselves cast adrift on an otherworldly Sea. A Sea filled with myth and
dangerous monsters. Guided by Dioktes, a strange old man of doubtful motives,
they come to the Port, a floating city of wreckage ruled by a desperate rabble.
Lady Vasille has designs upon the Port and upon all of the Sea. If Parsifal
isn’t careful, he and his friends will be caught up in her schemes once more.
But it’s hard to be careful when you’re trying to survive.
About the Author:
As a child, McCallum always wanted to write a
book. He scribbled in notebooks, drew pictures, and lived largely in a world of
make-believe. Into this fertile field a seed was planted. Notebooks began to
fill and they didn’t stop. It was a soaring waltz with words among the silvery
clouds and he loved it. He was thirteen.
It
became his first novel, A Hole in the Ice,
published when he was nineteen. He is now twenty and working on the third book
in the Weather Casters Saga.
McCallum still draws and occasionally attacks an unfortunate piece of
fabric with a sewing machine. He may be spotted around his home town of Bonners
Ferry, Idaho, sporting his collection of bizarre clothing items, singing ‘Totale Finsternis’ or at the bakery near
his home, drinking a caramel macchiato. His day job is log home finishing. He
lives with his parents in a house perched on the hillside twenty miles south of
the Canadian border and takes his tea with milk and sugar in a cup and saucer.
