To our wonderful "My Genie And Me" readers:

First of all, my sister Betty and I want to say "thank you" to all our readers. As a demonstration of that appreciation we currently donate 10% of the Net Profits from the sale of our Children's Book Series "My Genie & Me" to St Jude Children's Research Hospital. The series has received 5 Star Reviews, acclaim in Libraries, Schools, Magazines, Newspapers and Stores.

While writing "My Genie and Me" we have always kept in mind our vision of translating the books into adaptions for Movie Companies such as Pixar or DreamWorks etc.

Betty and I grew up in a little town called Coogee Beach, NSW, Australia, which also happens to be the hometown of our main character a little girl named Jenny.

We have traveled to many countries around the world, lived in England for a couple of years and even though we will always love Australia we now we call USA our home, Betty lives in Ohio and I reside in Nevada.

It's our love of travel, adventure, fantasy as well as Science, Cosmology and Ancient History that stimulates our imagination in writing this series. By utilizing what we call the "4 Fs" - Fun, Fantasy, Fact and Fiction all our readers tell us that our books are fabulously entertaining for everyone, regardless of their age.

Betty and I think so much alike that we finish each other's sentences but we also bring our own unique ideas and influences into the series. I also inadvertently became the reluctant illustrator for the books because I studied Art in my younger years.

Enjoy the series, trust me, it will keep you guessing!

So everyone, Exit the Wizards, Enter the Genies!

Roo
