What Inspired You to Write Your Book?
Writing and illustrating children’s books has allowed me to combine two of my principal interests – writing and drawing. I loved reading adventure stories as a child and still feel inspired when my memory returns to the way those books used to make me feel. Now I teach courses in children’s literature at the university level, I thought it was about time that I put some of my own efforts out there.
