When strange events begin to occur, Aidan is drawn into his grandfather's basement where he discovers three ancient scrolls and an invitation to another world.
No longer confined to the realm of his own imagination, Aidan embarks on an adventure where he meets knights, warriors, kings and mysterious Glimpses who can travel between worlds. Aidan joins them in the struggle between good and evil. With the fate of two worlds hanging in the balance, Aidan faces Paragory, the eternal enemy. Will Aidan be willing to risk everything and trust the unseen hand of the one true King? Recommended for ages 10 and up. Product Information

Author/Artist ReviewAuthor: Wayne Thomas Batson
Located in: Elderburg, MD Submitted: July 29, 2007 Tell us a little about yourself. Wayne Thomas Batson has spent the last fifteen years teaching Reading and English to middle schools students. He pioneered the active instruction of Strategic Reading in Anne Arundel County and has written Reading and English Curricula for Anne Arundel County, Carroll County, and Howard County Public Schools. Most recently, he helped develop the Challenge Reading Curriculum for advanced readers in Howard County, Maryland. Wayne Thomas Batson lives in Eldersburg with his beautiful wife of eleven years and his four wonderful young children. Besides dividing his time between family, teaching, and writing, he likes to read, golf, play PS2, travel to the beach, play electric guitar, and create 3D artwork. Wayne Thomas Batson gives thanks to God for the abundant life hes been given. What was your motivation behind this project? There are two motivations, really. The first was my students. I am a reading and English teacher, and one year I sponsored a short story writing contest for my students. They said, "Hey, Mr. Batson, why don't you write one." So I did. The second motivation for The Door Within came just after I became a Christian. I tried to share my faith with someone close to me, and they laughed. Disagreement, argument, flat out denial--I can handle, but not the laughter. I felt like I was giving someone the cure to cancer, and they threw it back in my face. I think that adults need to remember that while we are more knowledgeable and experienced in many ways, we can still learn SO very much from our children. What do you hope folks will gain from this project? I hope The Door Within will give to every reader a confidence and a solid hope that there is a plan for each person on this earth, and that even tragic events can become a blessing in disguise. Who are your influences, sources of inspiration or favorite authors / artists? J.R.R. Tolkien, hands down. I've read THE trilogy about 12 times and continue to read it once a year. I also enjoy the works of Douglass Preston and Lincoln Child--definitely adult reading only due to scary content. Frank Peretti, Natalie Babbit, Katherine Paterson, Mildred Taylor, Chris Paolini, Jenny Nimmo are also bright stars in my reading constellation. Anything else you'd like readers / listeners to know: I'm excited to announce that I've just completed the Lost Scrolls for the new Door Within Trilogy Paperbacks. These new editions of The Door Within, The Rise of the Wyrm Lord, and The Final Storm will be designed like the Director's Cut DVDs of favorite movies. The books will be longer, @ 25 pages on average and will include, deleted chapters, extended scenes, author and editor commentary, and even new bonus material written especially for fans. Here's a breakdown of what Door Within readers can expect: THE DOOR WITHIN, LOST CHAPTERS EDITION Released April 10th, 2007 Includes: Deleted Chapter: Original Chapter 1, where Aidan learns that his family will leave their lifetime home in Maryland to move to Colorado. And something startling happens in Aidan's room. Deleted Chapter: Original Chapter 2, where readers meet Robby, Aidan's best friend, and follow he and Aidan on a local adventure. Deleted Chapter: Original Chapter 3, where readers will begin to understand Aidan's fear of the underground. Something alarming dwells in Robby's basement! Deleted Chapter: Original Chapter 4, where readers witness Aidan's departure from Maryland. If you've even had to move and left dear friends behind, you will SO connect to this chapter.
