Because I couldn't read very well, I gravitated to learning numbers and equations. Eventually finding my niche with engineering. I excelled, graduating with a bachelor's degree in Mechanical/Aerospace Engineering. I finished my education with an MBA in Sales and Marketing. My reading skills never got better; I was a stranger to books. Finally, in my adult life I found the patience to read books like The Hobbit, Lord of the Rings by J. R. Tolkein, Centennial by James Michener and other books. It was slow reading but I thoroughly enjoyed the books. My son sent me a couple of screen plays he had written. After reading them I got interested in the art of screen writing. I went to the book store and bought some books on how to write screen plays and my writing career took off. I wrote a screen play called Alliance of the Quad. I took it to a Screenwriter's Convention in Hollywood, and was told the ideas in the screen play were unique, interesting, and would make a terrific movie. However, the movie would quite expensive so I would have to create an audience before a movie could be made. I needed the write the books. I went back to the book store and bought some books on how to write books. I began the journey that eventually created the five-book series, Alliance of the Quad. Now I want to inspire young readers. The ones that can read well, but more importantly the ones who struggle with reading. The Alliance of the Quad is a book series that is mesmerizing and captivating. The young reader will get swept up into the story quickly and be transported to far away places and distant times as they read. They will learn how magical, captivating, and mesmerizing reading can be. My ultimate hope is that I can invite, motivate, encourage, inspire, and transport the young and old into a world of magic, time travel and excitement. At the same time imprint the values and importance of reading in their lives.
