Introducing Oowie Kakui

by Mikall Branch-lopez

Overview

Ten year-old Miranda Sanchez, faced with the first of many dilemmas of the summer, learns from her mother that she must go stay with her much-despised cousin Diego in the country for the entire summer. Upon arriving at the farm, Miranda's cousin immediately begins to antagonize and taunt her with his childish pranks. Avoiding him to the best of her ability, she adjusts to country living, but strange and other worldly occurrences and shenanigans happen on the farm that are not Diego's handy work. Disappearing farm animals, runaway pets, bombardments of rotten eggs, and raided pantries force the two adversarial cousins to unite forces and investigate the shenanigans. Their explorations lead them to an encounter with an unfamiliar creature, a mystical being, a Kakui named Oowie.

About the Author

Mikall Branch-Lopez, a native Texan, spent several years in Los Angeles, where he attended the Stella Adler Theatrical Academy in Hollywood. After a short stint at acting, he returned to his true passion - writing. Returning home to Texas, he successfully attended Amarillo College and West Texas A&M University. Currently, he resides in Amarillo, Texas and is completing his next novel.



For those who are new to his work, he writes in two very different genres: murder drama mysteries as well as children's fantasy. As different as the two genres are, they have a common thread of being equally filled with suspense that captivates the reader from the very start.

In addition to being a published author and poet, he is a freelance journalist and contributes to several local and regional publications.

Mikall is also a proud member in good standing in the Texas Writer's League and the Panhandle Professional Writers Association as well as the Association for Library Service to Children and North Texas Book Festival.
