About the Authors

Miles Larone Rabun, eleven years old, and his brother William Brooks Rabun, nine years old, are two young kid entrepreneurs who reside in Wake Forest, North Carolina with their parents. Each summer and on any given holiday they look forward to visiting their grandmother, Kappitola Williams and of course her backyard in Atlanta, Georgia! The boys are very active in school in Raleigh, North Carolina, and with a Boy Scout Troop and Cub Scout Pack in North Raleigh and various Sports Camps. Miles and William have been writing stories and poems and attending theatre and writing workshops to further their passion of telling stories in writing and sharing them on stage and film! This is the first of many more works to come!
