Promoting ideas!
In ‘09 my middle-reader fantasy adventure The Idea Miners: The Lost Lake Dig was published and the reviews were very good. Unfortunately, I had to pull away from the book for a while, but now I’m back. I feel the book is too important to not tell others about it.
The reason I feel the book is important is because it’s about more than just a fantasy adventure.
On the surface The Idea Miners: The Lost Lake Dig is a fantasy adventure with a stunning ending, but underneath flows a procession of world-altering ideas that will instill in the young reader a keen awareness of the unique gift and power of the human intellect.
For me, it’s the powerful undercurrent of ideas and potential impact they may have on the reader, that makes The Lost Lake Dig unique and exciting! And others agree. Julina K. Small, of Armchair Interviews, said in her review: “I especially enjoyed the historical fiction that is woven into The Lost Lake Dig. By providing historical facts in association with the ideas contained within the squirts and gushers, Cross has found a unique way to teach our youth about history while keeping their interest at the same time. My twelve-year-old daughter began reading the book after I finished it, and I could hardly get her to put it down to come to the kitchen for dinner!”
The ideas contained in the squirts and gushers, that Ms. Small alludes to in her review, are the foundational elements of the book. It’s my goal to get young readers excited about, not only the ideas in the book, but ideas in general. If they see ideas for what they really are, the true golden nuggets of our world, it can lead to excitement and passion about the world and our future. New and exciting ideas are in the reach of everyone. All you need to do is open your mind.
This is what I strive to reflect in my writing: The Idea Miners: The Lost Lake Dig, my just-begun blog PW Cross : The Idea Miners, and my future books and writings.

And by the way: I don’t think for a moment that it was the undercurrent of ideas that kept Julina Small’s daughter away from the dinner table? Don’t get me wrong, the ideas are great, and hopefully will plant seeds for the future, but I’m guessing that’s not what keeps young readers glued to the book. I’m thinking it’s something else, and that something else is what Tim Grundmann, author of the Disney’s Doug Chronicles series, highlighted in his review: “PW Cross knows what his readers will like--hidden worlds, crazy characters, and danger!”
Ideas define us, our past, our present, and most importantly, our future.
