US songsmith Andrew Peterson currently working on first novel

AMERICAN singer/songwriter Andrew Peterson is planning to record a new album this summer following on from his critically acclaimed 'The Far Country'. He also recently spoke to Infuze ezine about his first novel. "It's called The Lost Jewels Of The Island King. It's about three kids in a sleepy town that's crawling with snaky soldiers called the Fangs of Drang, not to mention the dreaded toothy cows or the marginally sane Peet the Sock Man, who wears socks up to his elbows and speaks mostly gibberish. The kids uncover a secret in their town that just might kill them dead. Sounds fun, eh?" The book, probably the first of a trilogy, will be published by Waterbrook Press/Random House.
