About this title

From the Author

I discovered the legend of the Nain Rouge right around the time I lost my job and the entire country was going through a major economic crisis. I kept wondering why all this was happening. Why were such terrible things happening to such good people?

And so my story begins... The Nain Rouge feeds on all of this negative energy and becomes the cause and the manifestation of evil.

I'd like to think that this first book in the Nain Rouge trilogy presents not only the human struggle of good versus evil, but provides children and adults with the opportunity to explore how we cope with life's challenges. In the end, we have to make choices and live with our decisions. Maybe, it takes a society working together for the common good to defeat the evil forces - both seen and unseen.

This is a battle we all face, everyday, as individuals and as a community. Truly, a scary and exciting proposition.

From the Back Cover

There is an evil, enduring legend deep within the city.

Stories tell of the Nain Rouge - the Red Dwarf - who roams the streets, a harbinger of doom.

For more than 300 years, reported sightings of the Nain Rouge have been escalating. Now, times are tough and only seem to be getting worse.

Elly and Tom are two average middle schoolers on a field trip to the art museum. In a flash, they are wrapped up in a mystery of evil and intrigue that has been brewing for centuries. Fate has hurled these young teens in front of one of the most evil creatures ever to walk the earth.

Can Elly and Tom do anything to save the city and themselves?

Or has the time of the Nain Rouge finally come?
