Lancaster, OH Author Publishes Debut Novel

Nambin: The Call, a new book by James L. Mayle, has been released by Dorrance Publishing Co., Inc.

Nambin: The Call is the first of author James L. Mayle's thrilling fantasy series, Nambin. In this Shonnen Manga novel, Mayle is able to depict friendship, hard work, and victory through his characters and the world of Nambin, but more than that, there's also much multi layered nuance. It's about moving forward, finding home, finding love, becoming comfortable in your own skin, good and evil, and badass battles.

Mayle originally began Nambin as a form of self-medication. He was going through some tough times, and writing helped take him away to another world. Soon, it became a literal and figurative escape. Mayle hopes his readers find happiness through the story and are able to escape to the world of Nambin just as he had when writing it. The world can be a very dark place, and Mayle wants Nambin to be a light. He wants his readers to know things do get better, you just have to believe and push forward.
