Browning signing his young adult novel\, \\"Cerulean Isle\\" DESCRIPTION:On Sat.\, May 26 at 2\:00 p.m.\, G.M. Browning will sign and talk about his YA fantasy adventure\, Cerulean Isle\, a high-seas adventure with pirates and mermaidens!
Kidnapped as a boy and kept as a slave on a pirate ship\, young Jacob dreams of freedom\, and of one day discovering the fabled island of the Mer people. With fellow shipmate Grant\, Jacob escapes and finds refuge in Granada. But stories of Cerulean Isle\, land of the Merfolk\, continue to haunt him. One day a stranger appears and Jacob and Grant must embark on a dangerous voyage to flee from the pirates that seek their lives. In the process\, Jacob at last discovers the truth behind legendary Cerulean Isle.
New Hampshire author G.M. Browning has been writing fiction since elementary school. As an older brother to two\, spinning tales of magic\, fantasy and adventure was an important job throughout childhood. Storytelling is but one passion\, as Browning draws inspiration from the many facets of his life. Playing the guitar\, cruising in his old Firebird\, bass fishing and video games are the simpler joys\; though nothing makes him happier than spending time with his wife\, Devin.
