What is the aim or goal of your writing: In 2001, I sat riveted to the TV watching the New York City Twin Towers ablaze with fire, crumbling before us. The Pentagon was burning and a fourth plane crashed by the brave souls not willing to hurt others when they could stop it. Sadness and fear gripped our nation and I started to write children's science fiction stories of hope and courage for my own children - where good can overcome evil when people trust each other and work together. I have written a series of six children's books (3rd-8th grade audience) that are about the strength and hope inside each of us. Where good can over come evil if we work together. This message is woven through the stories in a high energy, high adventure way that leads the reader to say "that could happen, it could be real? I tell you up front, there are no rampaging zombies, exploding car chases or vampires. There is high adventure at summer space camp on Ganymede moon of Jupiter for our intrepid team of young campers. There are three boys and three girls that grow and change the lives of all those around them. Change is good and one person, one team can change our perception of the world around us. Each book in the series builds on its predecessor with good triumphing over evil. As six young summer campers find that courage and team work can over come fear and evil. These books grow with optimism and hope for the future, intertwined with adventure and mystery. The latter books do not get 'dark and scary' as the six intrepid young campers grow older. Instead the adventures change as they discover true friendship can help them through the twists and turns of life.
