Mike Thayer, a local author of children’s fantasy adventure stories, spent the afternoon at Poly on Wednesday, Sept. 25, speaking with 3rd-5th graders.

His first novel Passage to Avalon (Book 1 in The Epic Adventures of the Techno Wizard) is the story of a boy from Montana who gets transported to a strange and magical world, but still maintains cell phone signal back to Earth.

During his presentation, Thayer spoke about nurturing creativity, developing a productive obsession, and shared an in-depth look at the novel writing process. His second book in this series will be released this December.
