Darren Hunt's Debut Kids Book Takes Flight

Credit Courtesy/Darren Hunt
Hunt, a father of five, sees his own favorite childhood authors as a driving force in this project.

Fort Wayne creative, Darren Hunt, is a well know singer songwriter, adept in a number of writing styles and genres, who has finally decided to add children's books to his list of accomplishments.

The result of his labors is Lillie Clare and the Thousand Kites, an easy to read story, illustrated by Cathy O'Malley.

Last week, WBOI's Julia Meek decided to sit down with the author and learn for herself how his way with words led to such a high-flying adventure.

Lillie Clare and the Thousand Kites is available in Fort Wayne at Hyde Brothers, Booksellers.

For more information, and to connect with the author and illustrator, visit the Lillie Clare and the Thousand Kites Facebook page.
