Oh, was she ever divine! Dark hair. Blue eyes. The smile of an angel. But then it all fell to ruin. For years afterward, the broken-hearted sap spent his time wandering about and scribbling self-absorbed tragedies that no one really cared about. His prose was impeccable, but useless to the world. Then one day, as if by magic, he matured. He peered into the abyss, became a father, got some perspective, and has been writing nothing but brilliant, entertaining novels ever since. These books - some for kids, some for grown-ups - are brimming with the absurdity, beauty, and mystery of life. Mister Kindall has become a master at playing humor against pathos, fairytales against reality, all for the sake of a good read that will surely enhance the life of any reader lucky enough to delve into the author's adventure-laden pages. He is the author of adult fiction novel Delivering Virtue, a Foreword Reviews' 2015 IndieFab Book of the Year Finalist and Editor's Choice at Historical Novel Society, and middle grade novels Blue Sky, and Pearl. Moving, memorable fiction all. He resides on the shores of a pristine mountain lake with his wife and three kids somewhere in the middle of Idaho.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Diving Boy Books","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":40663669932147,"sku":"9.78E+12","price":15.83,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0555\/9255\/0515\/products\/img_43500e7c-75e1-4147-9bc4-71caa3a6971d.jpg?v=1673536019","url":"https:\/\/bookstorenmore.com\/products\/pearl-9780990932833","provider":"Bookstore N More","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
