As a child, author Mark Ivey enjoyed writing, drawing, and spending time with family and friends. While growing up, Mark gained a powerful and active imagination through watching his favorite film and television shows, which sparked his goal of beginning an acting career in Los Angeles and working on a Disney or a BET show. Inspired by classic works of literature, the author has also gained a love of writing books, utilizing his real and sometimes difficult life experiences and turning them into a land of make believe.
“Come take an adventure with Mark Ivey–a preteen boy who’s the new kid on the block, moving into a new house in Selma, North Carolina,” writes Ivey. “See how his world turns upside down when he discovers that his deceased father left him the throne of Iveylantis–a kingdom built in Mark’s image and his personal likings and where the citizens represent his character traits and personality. Watch the battle unfold when Joker Ivey, an evil court jester who longs to take the throne for himself, tries to destroy Mark along the way. With new friends like Jazmine White and Duke Jordan, see how Mark learns his new power and fights for his father’s throne to claim for himself.
“Will Mark come out a king, or will Joker Ivey have Iveylantis at his feet?”
