Artist and author Dominick Domingo has ventured into a new genre with his first young-adult novel! His latest work is the urban fantasy, The Nameless Prince.
As the story begins, protagonist Seth Bauman, age ten, is surviving a gritty childhood in L.A.’s Silverlake District. Seth’s mother disappeared shortly after he was born; he lives with his drug-dealing Uncle Troy, who doesn’t seem to like him; and Seth gets into a fight with the school bully.
Then, one day, Seth discovers the hidden magical realm of Interia—a world hidden on an island under the Glendale Avenue Bridge…
In a style reminiscent of Madeleine L’Engle, Dominick creates a world in which his protagonist’s wits are all that will save the world of Interia, his friend Elena–and his own life.
Dominick recently talked about creating his urban fantasy novel, his future plans for The Nameless Prince…and his upcoming appearances in Southern California. He’s scheduled for a reading and book signing at Vromans Bookstore, in Pasadena, at 7 p.m. on Wednesday, October third. And he’ll be at Pasadena City College, in the Authors’ Lounge, on Sunday, October 14th, starting at noon, for San Gabriel Valley Pride Festival 2012!
