about me

Timothy A. Northburg was born in West Germany. As a military child, he moved around to many different and exciting places and met many new people along the way. From as early as he can remember he was fascinated with books and stories. His love affair with books sparked his imagination. As a young boy he was always making up many adventures with his friends. Today he lives in Colorado with his wife and three children. He thrives on sharing his appreciation of literature and his wild imagination with his daughters. When he is not working, he spends time with his children nurturing their creativity. The thing he looks forward to most is reading them bedtime stories and sharing the magic of the books he enjoyed as a kid. He is an avid reader and loves going on new adventures.

BACON FINNEGAN

T. A. Northburg

We all know the legend of the great wizard, Merlin. Do you know the legend surrounding his grandson? The Universe is about to find out!


Bacon Finnegan, is Merlin’s lost grandson—he just doesn’t know it yet.

Meet young Bacon Finnegan. He just found a teleportation watch that accidentally transports himself and his friends from the Starship Ruby Darton to the planet of his destiny. He meets up with a White Witch who explains he is Merlin’s lost grandson and unleashes his magical powers. Bacon embarks on his quest to find seven hidden magical relics but first he must rescue his friends and defeat an evil Warlock, who is out to kill him. It is in this time of struggle that Bacon uncovers his deepest power—the ability to stop time and visit the present, past and future. Will this new-found gift propel him towards his destiny or destroy all of those around him?

"Bacon Finnegan: The Sword of Fire" is a YA adventure/fantasy/sci-fi crossover novel that chronicle the adventures of Merlin’s grandson through space and time. Commercially appealing to YA and middle-grade fantasy readers, and sci-fi/adventure fans, it is one of the few books that expand on the widely known legend of Merlin.
