Progeny, The New Fantasy Novel by R.T. Kaelin Is Available Now

Nov. 30, 2010 - PRLog -- Progeny tells the story of two young siblings, a brother and sister, whose home is destroyed, friends and neighbors killed, and lives forever changed after a vicious attack on their village by a stranger. The event spurs the pair into a strange world where they discover their heritage has little to do with being the children of simple farmers. Swept up by myth and magic, they discover their destiny is much more than they could have ever imagined.  

An ancient prophecy foretells the rise of a terrible evil that only the Progeny might be able to halt. But first, brother and sister must survive in a world where magic is outlawed while still pursued by the person responsible for the destruction of their lives. Progeny offers the reader an escape into a world free of economic uncertainty, political back-and-forth, and constant security threats, replacing them with a new set challenges and concerns.

For years, R.T. Kaelin worked in the information technology field in Columbus, but felt there was something more waiting for him. After investing the time and effort into writing his book, he queried literary agents across the country and quickly realized that the traditional method of publishing involved a high amount of luck. Reaching out using the internet, he stated his case and asked for feedback and help from other authors. A publisher of poetry books saw his post and put in contact with her sister, Donna Overall, who was the copyeditor of the initial self-published edition of a book that was picked up by a national publishing house before going on to make the New York Times bestsellers list. The story of that book was eventually made into a movie.

R.T. Kaelin grew up in Cincinnati and now resides in Pickerington, Ohio with his wife and two children. He is available for book signings or interviews. If interested in receiving a copy of Progeny for review, please contact him at rtkaelin@terrene.info. The book can be purchased at the website at www.progenythebook.com as well as at Amazon.com.  R.T. Kaelin is a 1995 graduate of Sycamore High School in Cincinnati and attended Ohio University where he graduated in 1999.
