Tom Kirkbride grew up on the beaches of Southern California where the location of Book I, Gamadin: Word of Honor of his GAMADIN saga, begins. Tom was a lifeguard in college at La Jolla, California, and is an avid bodysurfer, skier, world traveler, and artist. All the artwork on the book website is his own, including the front covers of this books. His GAMADIN Book Series (which now includes Books I thru V, 2 short stories, and a theatrical CD) evolved from his love of sci-fi adventure and the desire to write a thrill-packed, character-driven saga for young adults he wanted his kids to read. In 2012 the Renaissance Learning Center added the Gamadin Series to its Accelerated Reader Program for students across the country. In 2013 Tom released the theatrical CD version of Book I. The 2-hour long adventure explodes with the Audio Comics Company of 16 professional actors and special effects. After hearing the first 30 seconds of the CD, you will understand why people are raving about this release. One librarian commented at a recent book event, "Why didn't they do this for Potter?" It's that good. Tom continues his fast-paced adventure series with Book VI: Gamadin: Mamua, which he hopes to complete sometime late 2016. "That's my biggest complaint," Tom hears constantly from his fans. "Where's your next Book?" When he is not at his computer writing his next GAMADIN installment, he is visiting classrooms across the country, engaging his young audiences in the fun of writing adventure novels. Today Tom lives on his ranch in Oregon with his wife Nancy, 3 dogs, six cats and 3 horses. Be sure and drop by Tom's website www.GAMADIN.com for the latest Gamadin Series Book News and Events!
