Freshman Jackson Horvat may seem like an ordinary student, except he has accomplished something most scholars only dream about.

Horvat’s first novel, The Vortex Entrance, a 265 page novel, hit shelves in December of 2014. This is the first book in a series of six. The story is about a fourteen year old boy named John Weaver who finds out that he is apart of an elite group of sorcerers. This discovery leads him into an adventure of witchcraft and wizardry.

Horvat has always had a passion for writing and telling stories, and is especially a fan of the sci-fi/fantasy genre. In seventh grade, with the help of CVMS English teacher Michelle DiFabio and his parents, he began writing his book.

“I would write a couple chapters every week and more during the summer months,” said Horvat.

“Some days were better than others when I didn’t feel like writing and I wrote mostly when I felt motivated. I also created an outline of everything.”

Jackson and his dad were eventually able to design the cover of the book.

According to Jackson, all of the feedback about The Vortex Entrance has been positive.

“It is very strange, because I didn’t think it would ever get published and since it has been published, it has become a dream come true.”

Horvat’s book is now availiable on Amazon.com and at Barns and Noble.
