What Inspired You to Write Your Book?
My daughter was my inspiration for this series. The character Hannah aka Phenom, the leader of the team, resembles her. My original idea was to have the books done just for her, but as other parents found about it, they wanted copies for their little one(s) as well.
How Did You Come up With Your Characters?
As a parent, I desire to see not just my child but all children grow up believing that they are powerful and full of potential. So, it dawned on my why not author a book where the kids are the superheroes? During their playtime, the children explore their own potential and work to overcome challenges together. Through the Fearless Five, they are not confined to their current situations. For example, Joshua is overweight, but Blaze has superhuman speed and agility. The twins Chai and Daia are smaller for their ages, but they are able to show incredible physical strength (Daia as Tank) or mastery of their environment (Chai as Element). Nathan has difficulty, at times, with staying on task, but as Bender, he is able to focus his mind in tremendous ways. Hannah, as Phenom, shows how a young lady can be intelligent and challenge societal norms of what “leaders” should be. At the core of each episode is that the team must overcome the initial self-defeating views they have of their potential while battling the Swarm. In the end, they come to discover their true potential, which sets them on a path to success.
Book Sample
Deep in the Swarm’s lair, Dr. Dome, their leader, plots with Cyren.
“Here’s the next step in my master plan, but first, Cyren, you must boost your powers by…”
Meanwhile…Hannah’s mom says, “It’s a beautiful day. I think you guys should go out and enjoy it. ”
“Come on, Mom,” replies Hannah. “We were just about to play a video game!”
As the children sit in Hannah’s backyard, Daia asks, “Why do we always get put out of the house?”
“Something about getting outside and making our own fun,” Hannah responds.
Just then, Nathan asks, “Do you guys hear that loud chirping?”
Hannah climbs the tree and says, “There’s a mother bird up here. I’ll check it out.”
“You’d better be careful,” says Daia.
“The mother bird is all alone and she seems upset,” reports Hannah. She then turns to the mother bird and asks, “Where’s your baby, Momma-bird?”
The mother bird answers, “CHIRRRP! CHIRRRP! My baby is missing! She must have followed something out of the nest. She knows not to listen to anyone else’s song but mine. Something must be wrong. Please help me!”
As the team whirls into action, Hannah shouts, “Fearless Five! Power up!”
