M. Bradley Davis’ sixth grade English teacher made a mistake. She introduced him to poetry. (Thank you, Mrs. Foster!) Since then, Mr. Davis has learned that while he isn’t a poet, he loves telling stories. Mr. Davis became a teacher in 1985. He taught fourth grade for thirteen years. He taught all the usual suspects—ah, subjects; he added courtesy, honesty, respect, and character to his students’ lessons. Mr. Davis was listed in Who’s Who Among America’s Teachers, and twice listed in Who’s Who Among Young American Professionals. Today, he is part of the school district’s technology department. His former students and the young people around him inspire Mr. Davis’ characters. Mr. Davis is active in his church. His hobbies include reading, writing, amateur astronomy, and photography. The Reluctant Prince is Mr. Davis’ eighth book. He has seven other novels published through AuthorHouse. Tunnel of Dreams is a short fantasy novel. Mr. Davis’ science fiction series, the MindFusion Series, contains three books with more to come. They are: The Hand in the Mirror, The Canopus Conundrum, and Encounter at Lalor. The Hand in the Mirror was a Fiction-SciFi finalist in the 2003 ForeWord Magazine Book of the Year competition, and Encounter at Lalor was an Award Finalist for Science Fiction in the USABookNews.com National Best Book Awards 2008 Competition. A Spark of Magic and The Broken Violin are the first books in a series, called Musica Con Fuoco, about gifted musicians.
