Author Biography

If you look out the corner of your eye at a fun-house mirror reflection of the boy in the story you will see glimpses of the author. A life-long Cubs fan, who still has a crush on Maureen O'Hara, Mr. Wells did ask for Wheaties when his tonsils were removed, got locked in the library after hours, and spent many a summer afternoon under a shade tree reading books. Mr. Wells wrote Sports for a local weekly while in high school, did movie reviews and wrote an opinion column for his collage paper, and worked almost a decade as a radio disc jockey. He has collected a drawer full of blue ribbons over the years from the Creative Writing division of his state fair. The Silver Horn of Robin Hood is his first novel.
