Vance has started by publishing his story “Mon-Ton”.
Currently, he offers the first two books to the public.
Mon-Ton: The Old Man and His Treasure
(The first book in the Mon-Ton story)
Mon-Ton: The Quest to Misty Island
(The second book in the Mon-Ton story)
Mon-Ton: The Return to Mon-Ton
(The third book in the Mon-Ton story, to be released in early 2010)
Mon-Ton is a story of adventure and magic. A fantasy book for both the young and young at heart readers. This is a story greatly enjoyed by 3rd and 4th graders.
Who are the books for?
Mon-Ton books are written for anyone who would like to relive the time when they had a story read to them or would like to share that experience with a young one. The story is written in a fashion that would allow the reader to picture the characters in their own mind, this one could look like my father, that one could look like my grandfather and so on. It is a book that allows a person to use their imagination. Something that is being somewhat lost in today’s graphic intense movies and games, which do not allow much room for the imagination because it is right in front of you.
-New Reads Underground- Writes
Written in a unique fairy tale style, one feels as though they are a child sitting in bed or around a campfire, listening to a story teller weave a fantastical and adventurous tale. If you give this unique writing style a chance, the story will draw you in…
Pittsburgh Books Examiner Holly Christine –Writes
Mon-Ton: The Old Man and his Treasure is a children’s book by Vance Bell. Set in a small village that rests in the shadow of the Mon-Ton Mountain, Bell introduces us to a magical world, rich with imagination.
The Old Man and his Treasure is the first in the Mon-Ton trilogy. I would recommend Bell’s work for reading to young children…

Mon-Ton
The Old Man and His Treasure
This is a story of adventure and magic. A fantasy book for both the young and young at heart reader. This is a story greatly enjoyed by 3rd and 4th graders. The Old Man from Mon-Ton had visited the village for as long as anyone could remember. However, none gave him more than a passing thought. That is until one day, a young man, Bowdean, could not stop thinking about the old man and where he lived. He followed him to his home, built into the heart of the Great Mountain, Mon-Ton. Bowdean was told that it was his “Destiny” to go on a quest. The old man showed Bowdean how to cross the desert, capture an Elf to gain his help in getting past big lizards, face a Troll, cross a long valley, and find the key, a large ruby, to gain access to another scroll. Using this scroll, Bowdean continued the quest, and found a Unicorn in a small valley. The Unicorn turned into a Pegasus and flew Bowdean over the mountains into a grand canyon, right into a battle with many Dragons.
