Title: Jasper Lilla and the Wolves of Banner Elk: Book I of the Jasper Lilla ChroniclesAuthor(s) C.S. Thompson
Published by: James One Institute
Before he inherited his father’s wolf tooth necklace, Jasper Lilla considered himself to be the most ordinary guy in Boone, North Carolina. He’d have done anything to please Riley Lyons, the girl with the strawberry lip gloss, but why would a girl like her be interested in an ordinary guy like him? To please her, he put on the necklace, and his life became anything but ordinary. Despite the disapproval of his mother, Jasper got a job as an errand boy at Lion Pharmaceuticals. A man died in his arms. A panic attack sent him to the ER. He was nearly killed . . . twice.
Was the necklace responsible for that, or did the necklace save him? Could the necklace have something to do with the uncanny appearances of the white wolf? What was its connection to the weird security guards at Lion Pharmaceuticals? A deeper confusion came when Jasper discovered his father’s journal. Did his father really believe the necklace had some sort of magic power over wolves? Could it be a talisman used by the Nicatani, a legendary, priestly Cherokee clan? Could the necklace hold the key to who he and his family really are?
Chuck Thompson hails from Bristol, TN. After he and his wife attended the Woolly Worm Festival in 2014, they had such a great time that it was included in the first Jasper Lilla novel (as well as Dunn’s Deli, Sister Lees, Mountain Grounds Coffee Co., Studio140, and the Azalea Bed & Breakfast). Prior to writing the novels featuring Banner Elk, Thompson wrote six mystery novels featuring a female detective from Bristol, TN. All of his novels are family friendly, and although they often include danger, they are never graphically violent. It is the author’s custom to write about local events and places so that his readers can go to locations they have read about and see what the characters and author saw. With the mystery series, Thompson always writes about places in Bristol, but in each novel the characters travel to others places such as New Orleans, Washington, D.C., Asheville, Weaverville, and Cherokee. He deliberately left the Bristol area for the Jasper series so he could write about different locations.
