Travel back to 1763 with author Owen Palmiotti and The Benjamin Manry series for Young Adults

Meet
author, Owen Palmiotti and his main character (in costume) Benjamin Manry on
Sunday, October 27, 2013 from 12:00noon-3:00pm at the downtown Fairfield
University Bookstore, 1499 Post Road, Fairfield, CT 06824 (203) 255-7756.
Palmiotti will be greeting customers and signing copies of his young adult time
travel pirate adventure series, The
Benjamin Manry series.

The
series begins with Benjamin Manry and
the Curse of Blood Bones, telling
the interwoven fates of Blood Bones, Captain Arthur F. Nelson, and our young
hero-to-be, Benjamin Manry. At seventeen, Ben, his brother Harris, and their
best friend Sal discover a map written in red dye. It leads them to the cursed
treasure of Blood Bones, the ferocious pirate famously hunted by all of Britain
in the 1700s.

The three adventurers travel back in
time to 1763 and join the crew of the Frendrich in the quest for Blood Bones.
Little do the time travelers know, but they are an integral part of the curse
on the treasure. Blood Bones had two things in mind when he created the curse:
revenge and immortality. Can the boys survive and make it back to their own
time?

"Adventures are great because
they are fun, exciting, and make for an interesting story. That is, if you
survive to tell it."-Benjamin Manry
