Kapow!

by M. Sterling Jones

A family trip can often be boring but it doesn't have to be. Join Jack on a journey to his Aunt Kathryn's house. He plays with his sister Maddy and fends off some ferocious lions, monsters, dinosaurs and even sharks. He uses his favorite sounds to entertain himself as their van lingers in the middle of nowhere for what seems like an eternity…

Written, edited, compiled and colored entirely on an Apple iPad.

39 pages, Kindle Edition

About the author

I began writing stories as a means of staying connected to my young children while I was deployed with the US Army. One of my greatest rewards is hearing my children get excited about something I've written. It helps me feel closer to them. I look forward the quiet moments before they fall asleep when we share our favorite stories from the day's events or the book shelf sitting against the wall.

We currently live in St. George, Utah.

[M. Jones · Rating 5 out of 5]

I'm very proud of this book and its sequel Rata-tat-tat. My kids and I had a lot of fun making both. I especially love the interaction that the new epub2 format allows. I also love the illustrations that my friend Stan Zivanovich did for these books; they are vibrant, and capture the mood I imagined when I wrote them.
