Ted Bell

Dear Reader:

I wrote NICK OF TIME because I didn't think anyone was writing good, old-fashioned, swashbuckling adventures for young people anymore—books with flesh-and-blood heroes like TREASURE ISLAND by Robert Louis Stevenson or the COUNT OF MONTE CRISTO.  So I wrote a book like the kind I treasured as a kid, but in a more fun, modern style. Thanks for embracing it, coming along for the adventure, and making it a New York Times bestseller!

THE TIME PIRATE is the sequel to NICK OF TIME.  In this new book, I wanted to not only pick up the story where the first left off but also introduce readers to a hero closer to home: General George Washington—heroic, courageous, steadfast and wise.  To do this, I needed to bring Nick into the American Revolutionary War, fighting shoulder to shoulder with General Washington.  I think readers will have as much fun reading how this comes about as I did writing it! You can read the first three chapters here.

All best,
Ted Bell
