A Message From Shea:
Hello Makers. Most of you don't know me, which I'm perfectly fine with, but I'm the star of this little show even though I didn't ask to be. Still, I kinda like it. My WishMaker made a wish a while ago to write my story and get it out into the world. I was a little annoyed at first, but probably because I was self-conscious. Am self-conscious. Sort of. Anyway, a couple years ago he released my story on his own.
Some of you enjoyed it enough to get the attention of a few business suits to pick it up and want to spread the word. Since then, there have been quite a few artists drawing me which is weird since only my WishMaker has actually seen what I look like. The latest drawing of me, though, will evidently be on the front cover of the newest edition of my story. Between you and me, I think my muscles are much bigger. Still, there have been some nice things said about me and I guess that's nice, but really...I don't give a damn. I have some wishes to grant.
Yours truly,
The Greatest WishKeeper Ever
(ok fine, maybe not)

The WishKeeper named the YA category WINNER - 2015 Los Angeles Book Festival!
"Timm masterminds a fantastical setting... Parents will appreciate the book's inspiring message and the courage it might stir in young readers. An action-packed, dramatic tale with a nonstandard relationship and a winning message." --Kirkus Reviews
"An engrossing plot packed with action and, more importantly, strong protagonists who each face their own broken dreams...and that's the unifying force and strength behind The WishKeeper: a series of adventures and encounters that allow characters room to develop into living, breathing protagonists the reader will care about...a fine recommendation for young adult to adult readers who want their fantasy stories packed with ripping action and memorable moments." --The Midwest Book Review
"A classic basis of a fairy tale and adds a twist...angry, resentful teenagers aren't usually in fairy tales. This is a Tinkerbell for big girls." --BedtimeStories4Tweens
"You know that feeling you had when you first read Harry Potter and started to get obsessed with the world? That is the exact feeling I got when reading about Paragonia. The characters are wonderful and some of them will stay with you forever." --Little-MissReader
