JT KRUL – Writer

“I’ve lost my marbles.”

When fourteen year-old Angie hears these simple words uttered from her aging grandfather’s lips, she has no idea that it will send her on a journey into a hidden world of magic born from childhood imagination – one that bonds each and every one of us to our own unique spark, a special talisman with wondrous powers.  Like many over the years, Angie forgot about her spark, as her mind grew cluttered with the challenges of life, the stresses of school, and the tragic loss of her mother.

Now, Angie will need all her strength and courage as she rediscovers this world because there is a secret danger whispering in the shadows. Her grandfather was wrong.  He didn’t lose his marbles.  They were stolen from him, and if Angie isn’t careful, she could be next.

An adventurous tale of wonder, The Lost Spark celebrates the magic of childhood – the fantasy of imagination, the darkness of the unknown, and the beauty of friendship that knows no bounds.  Prepare to enter a world both familiar and new, and one that you’ll never want to leave.

Aspen’s Ten Year Anniversary kicks off with the debut of LEGEND OF THE SHADOWCLAN!

Meet the Arashi family. They are like any other family living in the city: kids in school, parents working to make ends meet. But unbeknownst to even them, their ancestors held a dark secret: they were a clan of ninja in feudal Japan, in the employ of a prominent leader. But when that leader was murdered under mysterious circumstances, the Arashi Clan was blamed, and forced to flee, going into hiding. Over the centuries, the descendants lost track of the ancient ways. They came to America, abandoning their sordid past to distant memory. However, recently, their secret has been discovered–their ancient enemy has returned, and won’t rest until every member of the Arashi clan is killed. Now, the Arashi family must rediscover their long-forgotten birthright if they hope to have any chance of surviving the onslaught to come, and along the way, they will learn the LEGEND OF THE SHADOWCLAN.
