Progeny, The Novel By R.T. Kaelin Will Be Available Early At Website

Online, November 26, 2010 (Newswire.com) - Terrene Press is releasing R.T. Kaelin's first novel, Progeny, to publication. The first in the The Children of the White Lions series, Progeny was originally scheduled for release on December 1, 2010 but will now be available days early at ProgenyTheBook.com before the traditional online book sites.

Progeny is a 655-page fantasy novel copyedited by Donna Overall and tells the story of two young siblings, a brother and sister, whose home is destroyed, friends and neighbors killed, and lives forever changed after a vicious attack on their village by a stranger standing on the surface of a lake. The event spurs the pair into a strange world where they discover their heritage has little to do with being the children of simple farmers. Swept up by myth and magic, they discover their destiny is much more than they could have ever imagined.

An ancient prophecy foretells the rise of a terrible evil that only the Progeny might be able to halt. But first, brother and sister must survive in a world where magic is outlawed while still pursued by the person responsible for the destruction of their lives. Progeny offers the reader an escape into a world free of economic uncertainty, political back-and-forth, and constant security threats, replacing them with a new set challenges and concerns.

R.T. Kaelin grew up in Cincinnati and now resides in Pickerington, Ohio with his wife and two children. For years, he worked in the information technology field in Columbus, but felt there was something more waiting for him. After investing the time and effort into writing his book, he queried literary agents across the country and quickly realized that the traditional method of publishing involved a high amount of luck. Reaching out using the internet, he stated his case and asked for feedback and help from other authors. A publisher of poetry books saw his post and put in contact with her sister, Donna Overall, who was the copyeditor of the initial self-published edition of a book that was picked up by a national publishing house before going on to make the New York Times bestsellers list. The story of that book was eventually made into a movie.

R.T Kaelin is available for book signings or interviews. If interested in receiving a copy of Progeny for review, please contact him. The book's website is at ProgenyTheBook.com and will be available for widespread sale by December 1, 2010.
