I retired early from my career as a biotech exec to focus on my traditionally published American history books. All that changed when my 8-year-old grandson decided we should co-develop Dragons & Dinosaurs books!
I embarked on an extensive study of kidlit books for science fiction, fantasy, & action/adventure...probably reading 200 books, mostly from Amazon!
After studying under a Disney author and a preeminent kidlit editor, we launched Star Life Keepers, our family's first epic fantasy book, on 2/5/24. Amazingly, during the first month, it became a #1 Amazon Children's New Ebook Release for both Space Exploration & Time Travel.
Our books follow Brandson Sanderson's Evil Librarians model with extensive custom-made illustrations. I also used my military history experience to create sequential maps.
I'm now writing sci fi/fantasy books with 3 other grandkids. I also created StorymakingWithKids.com to provide insights for parents, grandparents, & educators who also want to use creative writing to engage hands-on with children.
