title: Chasing the Gnome: 11 Quests series, Book 1
author:  Kevin Dangoor 
description: In the frozen (well, in the winter) north of a country called America, there sits a lovely (well, in the summer) town called Ann Arbor. More than 21 years after journeying to Ann Arbor, Kevin Dangoor sat down to write a book. This book. His daughter Crysania enjoyed the book as the pages rolled off the printer each day. She especially enjoyed finding the mistakes. Kevin's wife Surekha gave terrific advice for the book and its cover. Though Kevin is best known for casting strange spells on curious machines called computers, he plans for Chasing the Gnome to be just the first of several fantasy books.

  boss, too. And to Patrick Carman, who knows why.
