Logan Fisher has figured out the rest of his life before he turns thirteen. Well, at least the rest of the summer after his upcoming birthday. The Southern California native plans to spend his days surfing and skateboarding and his nights playing video games featuring jet skis and skateboards.
His plans--and his life--are turned upside down when he learns a family secret: He's adopted.
When his parents explanation doesn't quite add up in his mind, Logan does the only thing he can think of to find the truth. He runs away to uncover more secrets and discover his identity.
Along his journey, Logan encounters individuals who provide him with clues and possible answers to his questions. In the end, he discovers that family is far more than genetics.
My online profiles will tell you I'm a writer, but I see myself more as a storyteller. I enjoy weaving a tale with the spoken and written word.
The bulk of my career has been spent watching and reporting on sporting events. I've clocked more than twenty years of experience between The Sacramento Bee and The Davis Enterprise. At The Enterprise, I won state and national writing awards and was the sports editor in charge of multiple state and national award-winning sections. I even spent a summer writing greeting cards for African American Expressions.
My career path took a dramatic turn in 2006 when I began a five-year teaching stint at Sias International University in China's Henan Province. The administration took advantage of my experience and I taught newspaper and reading classes. I was later thrilled to get to teach American Culture Through Film where I learned the universal secrets behind storytelling.
Between the symbolism learned from films and the countless lecture hours, I was primed to become an Experience Expert (aka Tour Guide) for The Broad contemporary art museum in downtown Los Angeles. In my three years at the museum, I gave numerous public and private tours of the collection. Just as I had done with athletic contests, I broke down the artwork into understandable pieces, exploring the artists and materials. My favorite tours ended with someone telling me they never thought they'd "get" modern art but my tour helped them enjoy the work.
I returned to the Sacramento area recently to become a caretaker for my father. I am once again working at The Enterprise, this time as an associate sports editor, designing pages and telling stories.
