What are you working on next?
My main focus at present is another kids' fantasy novel, longer and featuring more adventure. Working name: "The Quest for the Golden Flowers.".
What's the story behind your latest book?
"The Time Travelers: A Christmas Story," the one on Smashwords, is a work of love for my grandchildren. It was a Christmas present for them a couple of years ago.
I'm presently focusing on a longer, more adventurous book tentatively entitled "The Quest for the Golden Flowers," also inspired by the grandkids. The youngest grandkid, Leyton, had the idea of golden flowers as a theme. During a brainstorming session with the kids, they told me some of things they wanted in their story, like magic powers, dragons, a griffin, and more. When I wondered how to include the older grandkids in the book, the second youngest, Garrett, suggested they all become 10-years-old upon entering the magic realm. Perfect! Their input has made writing "Quest for the Golden Flowers" more fun and challenging than "The Time Travelers; A Christmas Story." The other grandkids involved in the Golden Flowers book are Grayson, Grant, Will, and Mady.
