Kevin Elliott

Kevin has authored a number of inspiration books and finished his first novel in 2014.   Wordcasters is a Young Adult Fiction novel, that follows Timothy Walker (age 12) as he learns about his 'gift' and The WordCasters.  There is action, a host of interesting characters, and a side of the world not seen by most humans. Some elements seem like magic, but the premise of the gift and the action in the story is actually more sci-fi than fantasy.
