Helping Teenagers
12/12/2010 12:11:08 PM


Jack London’s cousin, Boyd Thomas London, wrote two young adult books called Creeton and Dream Wanderer, which have been getting a lot of newspaper and blog coverage. Many adults are now reading young adult books also, and in a recent author interview in Scotland that is listed under interviews at http://yabookreads.com, Boyd was asked, “It seems that more and more adult readers are finding their way to YA books. Why do you think that is?” Boyd’s answer was, “Like good animated cartoons and Disney movies, YA books are fun and very exciting. They are also easy to read, and they are not confusing.” Like a great PG rated Stars Wars film, young adult books are action packed and are filled with good, intense escapades and adventures that are not as brutal and as violent as in some of the adult books.

Boyd loves helping out young adults. He is very involved with the Menifee County, Kentucky Teen Program through the Menifee County Library, and he has donated many copies of his books which will be given to teenagers at the community’s upcoming events.

Boyd’s book Creeton is a great, fast-paced Star Wars type space adventure with lots of escapades in space and on the ground, at Creeton and on Earth. Boyd is a pilot, and there is a lot of fast flying and intense battles in space in state-of-the-art spaceships. In Creeton, two college students, John Brown and Dave Miller, stumble upon an alien spacecraft and inadvertently engage the autopilot which rockets them to the planet Creeton. Creeton resembles a futuristic, peaceful Earth, with no wars and crime. John and Dave get caught in a desperate race against time to save Creeton from an evil society of aliens called Warlids, who are striking Creeton with all of their might. Can John and Dave save the peaceful world? Can the people of Creeton help us on Earth to learn how to live peacefully?

Dream Wanderer is about a college football player, Joe Blake, who has a horrible car accident caused by a drunk driver that puts him into a coma. Joe is trapped in a dream world, a world where he must fight with every ounce of strength to survive. Can he use his football skills and talents to remain alive? Dream Wanderer has mind-boggling unique animals, creatures, swamps, deserts, volcanoes, plants, dinosaurs, castles, robots, a robot city, daring adventures, and very distinct, vivid landscapes as Joe Blake tries to escape the dream world he is trapped in. Unfortunately, many people, sadly including many young people, are injured and killed each year when driving while intoxicated. As people read his book, Dream Wanderer, Boyd hopes it helps them to make the choice to not drink and drive. Boyd hopes that it will help out many teenagers. The holiday season is a good time for teenagers to read Dream Wanderer. Dream Wanderer would be a great Christmas present for any young adult reader.

Boyd’s books, Creeton and Dream Wanderer, are now available for $12.95 from his publisher at http://www.publishamerica.com, and they ship them internationally. There are reviews on Amazon, but they sell at a higher price there.
