Amari and the Metalwork Menace

B.B. Alston started writing in middle school, entertaining his classmates with horror stories starring the whole class where not everyone survived! He had just been accepted into a biomedical graduate program when a chance entry into a twitter pitch contest led to his signing with his agent, 20+ book deals worldwide, and even a film deal. When not writing, he can be found eating too many sweets and exploring country roads to see where they lead.
