Front Cover
Morning Rain Publishing, 2015 - Juvenile Fiction

 “Everyone thought he was some kind of imaginary friend, but he was a lot more than that! In fact, he wasn’t imaginary at all, even though he was the stuff of legends.”

 School is finally out for the summer, and Ryan is looking forward to long sunny days on the beach with his best friend Cory, and his old friend, Willie. What Ryan hadn’t anticipated was how difficult keeping Willie’s secret would be. Torn between doing what’s best for his old friend, and being honest with this friends and family, Ryan has to think fast. The world isn’t ready to know about Willie, but it might already be too late.

About the author (2015)

 

In 1995, Lockard Young, started banging away at the computer, and before long he had completed five CHAPTERs of a book. Because the characters were named after his children, he thought it fitting to read the tale to them. Enthralled by the story, they demanded more and so Lockard wrote. The end result was a story entitled, Ryan’s Legend, published by Morning Rain Publishing in 2013. A book was born, and so was a hobby. A plumber by trade, Lockard lives with his wife in the countryside of rural New Brunswick. In addition to a number of stories he has “in the works,” and an impressive poetry collection, he has a short story entitled “Light at the End of the Tunnel” in the “Path of a Bullet” anthology. For more information on Lockard Young, please visit his website.
