The Enchanted River Race by Caldric Blackwell

My dad would buy copies of the Hardy Boysbooks at the thrift store, and I’d try to finish them in a night. Growing up, I was always a huge reader, devouring anything I could get my hands on. Their journey takes them across mysterious lands with nefarious characters, ultimately leading them to the birthplace of alchemy where they meet a wise, ancient alchemist.įiona: When and why did you begin writing? “The Sacred Artifact”revolves around Craig and his teacher’squest to uncover the secrets of a mysterious artifact. The first book, “ The Missing Alchemist ,”follows alchemy student Craig Pike and his friend, an archer named Audrey Clife, on a quest to rescue a kidnapped alchemist. My newest project, a middle grade fantasy novel, titled “The Sacred Artifact,” was recently released! This is the second and final book in the Young Alchemist series. After getting my bachelor’s degree, I worked for a few years before pursuing a graduate degree in medicine. I studied English and psychology at the University of California, Santa Barbara – which is, as far as I know, one of only a few public universities with a beach in the United States. I grew up in California with three siblings. I’m currently in southern California.įiona: A little about your self (ie, your education, family life, etc.).
