In the book, FINDING AGNETHA (Hitta Agnetha for the Swedish version), a young boy from America runs away from his troubled home, makes his way to Sweden, to find Agnetha Fältskog, who has since retired from the group ABBA. His goal is to convince Agnetha to get the group to perform again. How does an eleven year-old do that? Well for one, he gets thousands of ABBA fans around the world talking about it and then he Twitters and blogs about it as police from America and Sweden search for him. When he does finally make it to her, the answer is still no and the question is, can this eleven year-old convince Agnetha to get the group back together after twenty-five years? Dream or delusion? Success or failure? Everyone he meets tells him the same thing – “ABBA will never perform again”. But a young heart and a young mind sees no barriers. The book, Finding Agnetha, is now published in English and Swedish, both paperback and e-book, available through www.amazon.com, www.barnesandnoble.com and other book outlets. Find out for yourself – can the dream be real?

About Réal Laplaine
After fifty years of adventures, I sat myself down in front of a computer, opened the door to my imaginative juices, and started writing the stories that I wanted to. Besides the fact that writing is the closest thing to my soul, and gives me the greatest high imaginable, I find that writing is a way to tell the world stories that stretch the imagination. I am all about stepping outside the box - and since I can remember, I have never felt like I fit into the proverbial square hole. I was always looking for the holes in the fence, new doors, new potentials - and my stories reflect this propensity. I am also a strong advocate of human rights - and as such, my books cast a spotlight on sources of oppression in our society. Freedom is my byword, and plots in my books raise the flag on those elements in our society which threaten our freedom.
Other than that, I love a good action novel, I love realistic sci-fi, I am thrilled by the works of Tolkien, Louis L'Amour, Richard Bach, Mark Twain, Cussler and numerous other authors who manage to spin tales which keep us up late at night, reading and stretching the bounds of our world.
I have published three books with a fourth on its way soon - the first in a triolgy about a man who can leave his body at will and who, as a result, discovers some nasty shit and becomes the target of a nationwide search to stop him from revealing what he knows.
