Without any encouragement or knowledge on our part, our eight year old son wrote and illustrated a book.

Sharon and I read it and were blown away; it has illustrations, a legitimate spin towards the end, and it’s part of a forthcoming series! It is a bit dark and Sharon and I were slightly concerned at first, but in the end it’s mind-blowing that he wrote it at all, so we’re going with it and encouraging him to make progress on the second book. Who knows, maybe he’ll become the next Stephen King (minus the weird underage sex stuff that happened in IT).

Naturally, I made a website for him so it can be shared; take a look: The Neighbor’s House: Dead Pieces
