Introduction

For several years, I was a top reviewer for Readers’ Favorite, a highly regarded online review site.

One day, I selected an enticing little book called Orville Mouse and the Puzzle of the Clockwork Glowbirds for review.

This was my introduction to Tom Hoffman and his wickedly delightful imagination.

I was hooked, and my review conveyed that.

Surprisingly and synchronistically, Tom replied to my review with a generous appraisal of my own writing. He also offered to rework my existing book covers as they were commercially unappealing.

The result can be inferred from the last line of the movie Casablanca.

Our friendship blossomed. I have read almost every book by Tom Hoffman. He writes for the young and the young at heart, and I am a devoted fan.

I probably encountered Tom decades earlier when I was an office supply salesman in Alaska. His advertising company was my client.

The universe works in mysterious ways.
