About Prelude to a Hero (Chronicles of a Hero Book 1):
“This is the end time, Wendell. It’s a period of our world where all the secrets, powers, knowledge…even evil, will come to its full fruition. This is the point in time all the prophets spoke of and wished they’d been born within. Where the fate of the world will be decided.”
Wendell stood there, jaw open wide.
He blinked.
Then blinked again.
Finally, he closed his mouth and gulped loudly. “You guys are so screwed.”
Nerd. Introvert. Punching bag. Hero?
Wendell is a typical teen–misunderstood, ignored, and bursting with potential no one notices. His biggest dreams are for a decent job, a hot car, and a girlfriend, but he’ll settle for two out of three.
And then the Universe noticed him.
Kidnapped to the other end of the galaxy, Wendell is now expected to take up the mantle of a legendary hero and defeat the world’s greatest enemy…who openly defied the last champion.
Dark Lord Mahan.
Screams and cringing aside, Wendell just might be the hero they never knew they wanted.
Wendell’s story has won laughter and cheers from YA readers in 60 countries since 2005. If you enjoyed Harry Potter, Tiffany Aching, Percy Jackson, or Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy, then you’ll love this humorous, original epic fantasy, packed with magic, mystery, and sharp kicks to the funny bone.

Author Bio:
“Kidnapped from Earth, Wendell is given the legendary power of the Hero.
There’s just one problem.
…they grabbed the wrong guy.”
Jaime Buckley just wanted to tell his children stories of a hero they could relate to and remember. To use his own struggles as a youth to encapsulate the missing pieces and solutions of life, helping them navigate their own challenges, while making them laugh.
When word got out, friends & family began requesting these same stories. So Jaime began writing/illustrating/publishing ‘Wanted Hero’ comic books to be shared and sold. Offering issues as downloadable PDFs for ¢.97 each, Wanted Hero gained readers in 60 countries by the end of its first year, all by word of mouth.
In 2009, he met David Farland, who read the script for ‘Prelude to a Hero’, Jaime’s debut novel about Wendell P. Dipmier. “This should be a series,” Farland told him, “A LONG series.” When Jaime’s shared his idea to use Wendell’s animated smiley faces from the comics for the book covers, Farland agreed. “You could not have picked a more iconic cover design. Don’t change it.”
On May 27th 2011, PRELUDE TO A HERO was published…and Jaime has continued writing ever since.
His goals are simple: Be a loving father and husband, complete Wendell’s adventures in novel form…and help each reader around the world discover the hidden truth within them: You Are MORE Than You THINK You ARE!
