"Bill Bunn has been working on his debut novel for over a decade. While working as an English professor in rural Alberta, Canada, he set aside each spring to submit his manuscript for publication. Although it attracted a lot of interest, it never quite made it into print for a variety of reasons. Once his literary agent even suffered an untimely death, leaving him again searching for a publisher for Duck Boy, the story of a bullied 14-year-old who discovers an ancient alchemical secret that helps him change his life and those of his family."
