Buttersmiths' Gold
BATTLES.
BLUEBERRIES. BOVINES.
TORBJORN
AND STORFJELL’S HISTORY UNFOLDS IN AN EPIC EVERTASTER NOVELLA.
Everyone
knows the most coveted treasure of the Viking Age was blueberry
muffins. Blueberry muffins so succulent that if you sniffed just a
whiff, you'd want a whole bite. If you bit a bite, you'd want a
batch; if you snatched a batch, you'd stop at nothing short of going
to war just to claim them all.
Young
Torbjorn Trofastsonn comes from the clan that makes them. He's a
Viking through and through
– he's thirteen winters old, larger than most respectable rocks,
and most of all, a Buttersmith. That's what he thinks anyway, until a
charismatic merchant makes Torbjorn question his place among the
muffin-makers. When Torbjorn lets the secret of his clan's muffin
recipe slip, he calls doom and destruction down upon his peaceful
village and forces his brother Storfjell and his clansmen to do the
one thing they are ill-prepared to do: battle for their lives.

Evertaster (Book #1)
A
legendary taste. Sought after for centuries. Shrouded in secrecy.
When
eleven-year-old Guster Johnsonville rejects his mother’s casserole
for the umpteenth time, she takes him into the city of New Orleans to
find him something to eat. There, in a dark, abandoned corner of the
city they meet a dying pastry maker. In his last breath he entrusts
them with a secret: an ancient recipe that makes the most delicious
taste the world will ever know — a taste that will change the fate
of humanity forever.
Forced
to flee by a cult of murderous chefs, the Johnsonvilles embark on a
perilous journey to ancient ruins, faraway jungles and forgotten
caves. Along the way they discover the truth: Guster is an Evertaster
— a kid so picky that nothing but the legendary taste itself will
save him from starvation. With the sinister chefs hot on Guster’s
heels and the chefs’ reign of terror spreading, Guster and his
family must find the legendary taste before it’s too late.
WATCH THE AWESOME EVERTASTER BOOK TRAILER
In between books, Adam Glendon Sidwell uses the power of computers to make monsters, robots and zombies come to life for blockbuster movies such as Pirates of the Caribbean, King Kong, Transformers and Tron. After spending countless hours in front of a keyboard meticulously adjusting tentacles, calibrating hydraulics, and brushing monkey fur, he is delighted at the prospect of modifying his creations with the flick of a few deftly placed adjectives. He's been eating food since age 7, so feels very qualified to write this book. He once showed a famous movie star where the bathroom was. Adam currently lives in Los Angeles, where he can't wait to fall into the sea.
Adam is giving away a $50 Amazon GC and a
