Boys VS today's classroom

The following video was sent by my brother. Someone in his circle of friends sent it to him. I post it because my daughter and I have had similar discussions concerning boys, the classroom, and education. That's because she teaches 2nd grade in a public school.

Since I grew up hating to read, I now write adventures & mysteries for readers 8 and up, especially boys.

The video runs about 12 minutes. I'd be very interested in your comments after you view it.

re-Publishing.

Also planned for re-publishing soon are Terror at Wolf Lake, Mountain Cabin Mystery, and The Secret of Abbott's Cave.

A contract is coming next week for a new book called When the Lights go Out. This book will help children, who were not old enough at the time, to know why 9/11 is so important to our country. The book will be released for the 10th anniversary of 9/11 this  
                              September.

Book # 2 in the Sam Cooper Adventure Series, Captain Jack's Treasure, is now in production. Check back here for details.
