I have a story to tell about my ancestor Robert. In 1849 Robert was twelve and desperate to escape his life. I had no idea about this amazing person in my family history or the incredible adventures he had until my grandfather gave me the journal about him. The harrowing details of Robert's life as a young boy at sea during the Age of Sail had to be told. They are compelling and riveting and set me on a writing journey to learn how to bring the story to life with honor. 

I am so proud of the two novels, "Runaway At Sea" and "Adventurer At Sea", and the prequel eBook "Bricks, Brothers and a Breakaway", which will keep you on the edge of your seat. Truly an action-packed, historical fiction series based on a true story that is a must-read for students and grown-ups alike! 

Robert's life story captured my imagination, & bringing his story of joy, heartbreak, & courage to life for middle-grade readers became my passion.
