I wrote The Sword Maker's Seal right after I got out of college at Oregon State University. At the time, I thought it'd be a hoot to have a pen name, so I wrote under the name Ezra Thorne. Here's a synopsis:
Emerson Highsmith is not your average 14-year-old. Sure, he goes to school and hangs out with his friends like everyone else, but Emerson is different. Through his eyes, the entire world is a mystery waiting to be solved. Naturally, when he hears that a 14th century Japanese sword is stolen from a Portland, Oregon museum, he is intrigued. Actually, Emerson can't contain himself. As he doggedly pursues the burglar, the suspects multiply and time is running out before the exhibit moves on. Will Emerson discover the thief's identity? Or will one of Japan's national treasures be lost forever?
And guess what? It was reviewed by Midwest Book Review, receiving 5 stars...out of 5, here's a bit of what they had to say:
“A young adult mystery written by a talented recent graduate of Oregon State University... We all look forward to more Emerson Highsmith mysteries by Ezra Thorne.”—Midwest Book Review
It was written for ages 9-12 and took place in Portland, OR, where I've spent a lot of time. If you're a YA reviewer and would like to review it, I'll send you a .pdf. Message me!
