I am a mother of two grown boys. I have a degree in English Literature with 30 hours in Elementary Education. I am a Gulf War veteran. The main character in the book is a drawing that I created when I was in elementary school. I have always wanted to write the great American novel, but it never happened. My son was talking about wanting to create a video game. I told him he should go for it. He told me I should write my book. So I decided to use my childhood drawing to write a book to help children learn. My son named him and we thought of different subjects to teach, and so the book was born.
