One of the reasons I began writing action-adventures & mysteries, especially for boys, is because I believed that boys learn differently than girls, and that their interests were different. Study after study tends to back up this belief.
The September, 2008 issue of Chicago Magazine contains an excellent article, Boy Trouble, by Lucinda Hahn.
I encourage you to read it.

Children's Writer Guide
I'm going to be featured in one of the articles for the Children's Writer Guide in their 2009 edition. They did a very nice job. In addition to the interview, about my books for boys, they list my web sites and published books.

Little guy in my back yard
Anyone who knows me, knows that I have always loved animals.
Tonight is the second night in a row that this little guy has come into my back yard. He looks a little young to be on his own, which may indicate that his mother could have been hit by a car. None of his brothers or sisters are around.
He doesn't seem to be at all aggressive. In fact, my cat, Auby, walked right up and smelled his tail, and it didn't bother him at all.
I gave him a little bread and water, and he was on his way. He's really cute.
