About the Author

I have always felt there was a higher power guiding my life. My Christian roots began with my early childhood and continued when I had a family of my own to raise. I have been blessed with three wonderful daughters who always loved my stories, puppet bears and rock classic melodies to help them fall asleep. I like to think of my stories as parables to guide their growth. Most of the stories have an underlying Christian moral. Perhaps that is why my favorite children’s book author is C.S. Lewis. For most of my life I have invented machines that make people’s lives easier. My jobs often require me to write a proposal to support my idea and get approval to develop the concept. There are a lot of similarities to writing about a concept, so that stakeholders will invest in an idea and writing a children’s book so that kids will invest their imagination in the characters. Life has been good to me and I hope it also is for you.
