Wayne Thomas Batson is the author of five best-selling novels: Isle
of Swords, Isle of Fire, and The Door Within Trilogy. A middle school reading
teacher in Maryland for eighteen years, Wayne tailors his stories
to meet the needs of the young people he cares so deeply about. Wayne writes adventures
set in imaginative locals because he believes that on a deep level, we all
dream of doing something that matters and that we all long for another world.
