about me

I work for a vitamin manufacturer, volunteer teach high school students, raise my three children (under the auspices of my beautiful wife), and for a few minutes each day escape from reality to wander the roads of my imagination.

***I prefer constructive comments (the harsher the better), not just the "feel good" kind, and will try my best to return the favor. But please be patient; I can’t always do this right away. Keep in mind that I will not read ADULT ONLY novels or themes which are overly sensuous or dark.***

The "Traveling Trunk Adventures” is a series following two time-traveling brothers; for which the first four stories are complete. I’ve teamed up with an amazing illustrator (Nick Serr), and together we seek to conquer the Giants of the publishing world. Well, maybe not defeat them (as I wouldn’t mind being published by one of those mighty Giants), but at least to show the world that a great book can make it with or without their blessing. Is self-publication the “kiss of death”? We shall see by the end of 2010 as I prepare to print the first few books in my series and bring them to market.

If you enjoy my writing, check out my website for updates on when the books will become available.

Read On! Write On! Live On!

Traveling Trunk Adventure #1: ....

View YouTube Book Trailer: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tm_YV6W7S8o

A cursed treasure chest, swashbuckling pirates, time-traveling brothers, mistaken identities, disgusting food, dark secrets...a non-stop-fun juvenile fiction.

A cursed treasure chest transports Ethan and Dallin back in time and onto a ship in the New World. Not just any ship, a merchant vessel transformed into a renegade pirate ship that same morning. Mistaken as thieves, the brothers must use their wits and humor to navigate the dark secrets of the brig, survive walking the plank, learn how to talk, fight and hurl insults like a pirate (along with the rest of the clueless crew), and solve the mystery that turned Captain Black Bart into a wannabe pirate. But even if they can save the pirates from themselves, can they unravel the curse that brought them here, and then figure out how to get back home?

The Traveling Trunk Adventure series provides more humor, adventure, peril, and moral nourishment than comparable chapter books. With themes of friendship, the importance of family, trust, and not judging other people, each book subtly teaches timeless values. Throw into the mix a little historical fiction, as well as an educational component at the end, and readers have a balanced and nutritious reading experience. Reluctant readers will thirst for more.

Shelved your book for two reasons: (1) we seem to be writing for the same audience and I like to see what else is out there that is comparable to my own work; (2) this is the type of book I will read to my three kids (3, 5, and 7). I'll let you know what they think. Benjamin Flinders (Traveling... view book

Your premise sounds intriguing, so I watchlisted your book with the intent of reading it as soon as I have space on my shelf. I will try to offer more constructive comments thereafter. Benjamin Flinders (Traveling Trunk Adventure #1: Pirate Treasure) view book
