Brief History
The Adventures of Adan and Mara is the collection of works polished off by none other than myself, Cyrus Taylor, a scholar, linguist, English professor, and dimension travel expert who was a close friend and and confidant of Adan's father, Harrod. Though I am no longer a dim traveler myself, I am very knowledgeable of the perils of dimensional travel and was impressed for years with Adan's ability to master any subject Adan's father and I taught him. However, I recognized Adan's moody nature as a potential problem for dim travel and felt that he needed a companion who was capable of grounding him, a sort of Watson to Adan's Sherlock.
Much to my good fortune, I made the acquaintance of Mara Fellano while I was lecturing to an auditorium filled with young aspiring linguists. She told the me of her passion for languages and codes, and she had heard rumors of a boy who lived up the street from her who was a gifted detective named Adan Shamanson. With great pleasure, I introduced Mara to Adan, his father, and Grams, and the three became fast friends. Grams and Harrod took over their tutelage as they worked alongside Harrod helping him with language interpretation, spells, AV plasm, and diplomacy. Since Harrod's death in the Gifford dimension, the dimensional travels revolve around the power duo, about whom you can read in The Characters. As Adan's chronicler and sidekick, Mara has little time to manage a website and craft novels of her and Adan's adventures. Plus, she really doesn't like to write or talk about herself. Maybe one day she and Adan will be able to rest, but not any time soon. Therefore, it is my pleasure to polish off the adventures of the two talented and fearless kids, thanks to Mara's notes and plenty of follow up conversations.
The first novel is titled Adan and Mara: The Serian Adventure, and it chronicles the duo's efforts to save a subterranean dimension from a vengeful madman. This novel is currently making the rounds to friends, agents and editors in an attempt to let the world know the exploits of this unique pair of teenage adventurers.
Excerpts of this novel as well as shorter adventures and side notes will appear on this site. So, stay tuned. As an added bonus. I am planning to enlist some awesome illustrators as well as fans to bring some visual life to this strange world. And as if that isn't enough, there will be short podcast adventures and music for you to listen to while you're in bed with one eye open.
