Springs writer gaining in popularity

How many writers would deliberately include grammatical errors in a book and have an extremely skinny and conscientious person, one who even thinks of turning his back on life, as the hero?

Not many, but Coral Springs resident William J Brower Jr. did not lose much sleep thinking about that as he wrote "Chronicles of the Dragons Bane." The first volume in the series came out recently and judging from the feedback that he has received, his readers are not complaining. The writer is currently in talks with a local animator for an animated series based on the book.

“I have been a busy person this year,” Brower said. “'Chronicles of the Dragons Bane' is my attempt at writing an epic poem. The first volume in the series came out this year. 'The Essays and Wit of W E Brower Jr.' came out in February. 'The Artwork and Origins of the Dragons Bane' series came out recently. It was written and published in three weeks.”

Brower started the "Chronicles of Dragons Bane" 20 years ago when he was a student at J.P. Taravella High School. “Many classmates and teachers supported and motivated me to write it.

“Dragons Bane is for young adults,” Brower said. “There are a lot of grammatical errors in the book. You can discuss the subject matter within the book as well as break it down into a grammar lesson. It's a formula I developed while running the lecture circuits among various schools. I want students to read the book and show me where the "mistakes" were made. I don’t think any other book has been done this way.”
