As the holiday season is underway, and everyone is searching for that perfect gift, don’t forget about your young readers. Their christmas wish list should always include some adventure and interesting reading material. When I was younger, I always loved to read fantasy, and girly romance like Sweetvalley High.

I live for Autumn, that is my favorite month of the year, or at least time of year. The smell of the leaves as they fall and degrade. I have this memory of when lighting fires to burn the leaves wasn’t a bad thing. Along with cooking hotdogs and makeing smores in the fire as…

How we manage co-authoring together This picture is a simulation of what I think about when my dad started telling me stories. When I was young, we used to camp. The whole, white and beige tiny RV that has enough room for a full bed, a bunk bed floating above the full bed and a…
