Kano spent his entire life keeping his powers a secret, but when a terrorist holds his city hostage, he must risk everything to protect it. As he soon discovers, though, the powers which he kept hidden for so long may be the very thing that this terrorist is searching for...

Thanks for stepping into the world of the Zoboros! This world has lived inside my head for a very long time, and I am so excited to share it with you.
To be completely honest, I never pictured myself writing a book. Script writing was always my passion; in fact, this story began as a collection of scripts. As the story developed and the characters became more complex, however, I realized that this story couldn't be contained in a script. To tell it the way I wanted to, I needed to make it into a book.
Thus began a three year journey of writing, reading, and revising (oh, so much revising!). I lost track of the number of drafts I've written in the past three years. What I do know is that this is the first draft that feels like the story I always wanted to read. And now it's your turn!
Trouble in the Floating City is the first in a series that follows Kano, his companions, and his enemies on their journey through a galaxy filled with adventure, mystery, and dangers untold. To my fellow fans of Star Wars, Spielberg movies, and comic books: this one's for you.
The story of a guy with extraordinary abilities and extraordinary problems. He meets friends, enemies, and loses a bit of each. I enjoy writing and drawing comic books and making my own heroes and villains and I wanted to see how turning my favorite hero into a book would turn out. Feel free to give feedback, it always helps.
Jack Carter is your semi-average guy. Sixteen, 5' 11, charcoal black hair, and a slight muscle build. The rich popular kid that everyone adores. Until his life takes a turn for the better and worse. Sure, the move was bad. A whole new city across the country. The Big freakin' Apple. Then there was the fact that he had to leave all his friends and make new ones. Double bummer. But juggling his new abilities and super villains? Now there's the ride of a lifetime.
