“A Fun Romp. An Unlikely Hero. A Great Pick-Me-Up.” Edward Stone’s quiet life is completely upended when he’s pulled into a wild and wacky search for King Arthur’s fabled lost sword, Excalibur. From the towering monuments of Stonehenge to the dark mists of Loch Ness, Stone finds himself battling evil forces intent upon possessing this long-lost treasure. It’s only when he embraces the magical nature of the legend that he’s finally able to harness the epic forces behind Excalibur, the Sword of Power. “A hero is no braver than an ordinary man, but he is brave five minutes longer.” — Ralph Waldo Emerson “If you need to laugh and a great story, read this!”

John is author of the Eli Marks mystery series and the Como Lake Players mystery series. He also has four other stand-alone novels: “The Greyhound of the Baskervilles,” “A Christmas Carl,” “The Sword & Mr. Stone” and “The Ripperologists.” He hosts two podcasts: "Behind the Page: The Eli Marks Podcast," and "The Occasional Film Podcast." In real life, John's not a magician, but he has directed six low-budget features that cost very little and made even less - that's no small trick. He's also written multiple books on the subject of low-budget filmmaking. Ironically, those books made more than the films. John lives in Minnesota and shares his home with his lovely wife, several greyhounds, a few cats and a handful of pet allergies.
