Believe me when I tell you I grew up hating to read; not
just in the summer, but all the time. There were several reasons for this, but
the irony of the situation is my father authored over 70 books during his
lifetime, and I didn’t read any of them as a child.
Today I write action-adventures and mysteries, for middle
grade readers, I would have enjoyed as a kid. My entire professional life has been
devoted to the production of dramatic films, video programs, and television
commercials.
So, when it comes to writing for middle grade readers, I
bring unique elements to each project.
At the present time, I have contracts for over twenty books
with three publishers. Perhaps you’ll find one that’s just perfect for your
middle grade reader. Hopefully you’ll discover several more here because these
books work well with struggling, or reluctant as well as avid readers. And though
they are slanted toward boys, I’ve found that girls have embraced them, too.
