Good Morning! I must have been in about the 3rd grade. Later I decided I wanted to be a sports writer or write editorials and columns for a career, but life had a different path. I always knew I would get to it eventually so here I am. In addition to my kid's books I have one novel written (not published yet), but I will eventually. Ha!

The Pokey Little Puppy, Paul Bunyan were big favorites. The first book I ever read without pictures was Gunsmoke (Marshal Matt Dillion - still have it). I was also a big fan of the Chip Hilton sports series and of course a big fan of Zorro and the Flash. What about you? What do you remember reading?

Write. Form your thoughts, don't obsess over details, you can always change it. Don't rush it. It will come as you get it on paper.

Experiences, observation, and a vivid imagination. The great thing about kid's book and fiction is anything is possible.

The Adventure of Bob Wire in Oklahoma and The Adventure of Bob Wire in Houston. I think folks will find them fun, interesting and entertaining. I hope they do!

Trying to create something that is fun, entertaining, and interesting. Connecting with folks. Learning.

Get calm. Weave a story, plot, or character. Once I settle on a subject I focus on my goal and let it soak and develop in my mind. I concentrate on it from a big picture view. When I start writing the big picture the details seem to fill themselves in.
