Famous Author

A wonderful tribute to a magical place. Everyone at the Westport Country Playhouse is honored to see the Playhouse included and we love your book! Congratulations on this beautiful work.

An amazing book that reveals a magical and genuine way of seeing our town. It reminds us how the smallest, most beautiful details can be deeply appreciated when viewed through a different lens. Every word feels touched by magic, gently transporting you into the heart of the town, only this time, you can truly perceive the wonder that was always there.

Austin and Lily are so creative and talented. From the beaches, to the playhouse, library and schools, this guide highlights their importance with a touch of fun and magic! This is a book that speaks to all ages. I plan to use this guide with my 5 year old son for a day of exploring.

This is a thoughtful and creative addition to the world that Austin is building. The guide format makes it easy to explore Wizardport and learn more about the places, ideas, and details that shape the setting. It’s clear that a lot of imagination and care went into developing this world, and this book helps bring it to life for readers. I’m excited to see how Wizardport continues to grow in future stories.

An incredibly imaginative read!

I’ve always been a big fan of Austin, but this new book completely blew me away! Having grown up in Westport, CT, I loved recognizing so many of the iconic monuments, locations, and buildings woven into the story. Austin’s reimagined “Wizardport, CT” in Next Lifetime transported me from my own memories into a world of new, enchanting ones I can’t wait to experience on my next visit. The beautiful illustrations made the journey even more magical. Two big thumbs up, Austin! ❤️

It’s such a fun and whimsical re-imagining of Westport! I love the creativity and the illustrations.

Looking forward to the next one!!

I bought the book for my nine-year-old grandson
The book takes place fictional place, but it’s very similar to Westport Connecticut
When I brought the book over for my nine-year-old, my daughter 45 year-old was intrigued and loved, loved - loved the book.
Her mother-in-law who was an avid reader, also took the book and she began to read it
So I guess what I’m saying is this book is very good for any age, male, female, Harry Potter fan or not it’s just a really nice book and it’s a great gift for any age .

Austin
You are an amazing author and creator. This book should be in every store, real estate office, the library and town hall.
