Welcome to the Purloined Boy!

I am your humble host, Mortimus Clay.

I know I speak for Trevor, Maggie, Epictetus, and even Zephyr (he's the mouse at the top of every page, by the way) when I say we hope you like what you see and read.

You might think a web-site is a little premature considering that the book is not even published yet! But The Purloined Boy already has a growing fan base.

Advanced review copies are being assigned in middle schools and high schools, and many adults are reading and enjoying the book. If you would like your school to read The Purloined Boy and meet moi – Mortimus Clay – just e-mail me at .

If you would like to sample the book, just go to the Explore the Novel page and download the first chapter. If you want to talk about it, click here to visit our blog.

And please come back often! New stuff is being added all the time!

Yours truly,


   Mortimus Clay
