Dennis Fishel
Dennis
Fishel was born and raised in Seattle, Washington, and has spent most
of his life in the Pacific Northwest. He studied forest management at
the University of Washington for a short time before enlisting in the
United States Air Force in 1967. After his military service, Dennis
returned to Seattle and completed a career with the United States
Postal Service, retiring in 2002.
Since his retirement, Dennis
and his wife, Arleen, have moved to northern Kentucky in order to be
close to their son, Jeramy, who moved to the region with his job as a
marketing technician. They live on a small farm a few miles south of
Cincinnati, Ohio, with two dogs, two cats, and an untold number of
deer, wild turkeys, coyotes, and other critters of sometimes malodorous
qualities. When Dennis isn't pursuing his new career as a novelist, he
studies archaeology at Northern Kentucky University.

Thirteen-year-old
Dennis knows fear. Its name is Russell Folmer, and it lives just down
the street. Den manages to avoid the dangerous Russell until Jay, a
tornado with sticky-up hair, moves in...right next door. Sharing an
interest in model airplanes, the two boys become friends in spite of
their differences. Jay, however, is simply not content to hide like a
mole in a hole and drags Den out of his backyard and into a world of
mischief and mishaps. From homemade bombs (created from the only
product a dog manufactures) to talking parrots, Den and Jay stuff a
lifetime's worth of adventures into their eighth grade year.
Unfortunately
for Russell - or perhaps for Den and Jay every misdeed by the two
friends lands squarely on Russell's head (not unlike those homemade
bombs). When Russell's not paying for "his crimes", he's in hot pursuit
of his teenage tormentors. At last, with Russell closing in and the
boys running out of escape routes, the unseen cosmic forces that guide
our lives seem to take command and dictate a final confrontation in
which Den and Jay are required to face not only their fear -
- but the eye-popping ending that comes with Russell's Revenge.
