book 1 (Available Now!)
Road Trip Rescue
A heartwarming adventure for kids ages 8-12 with a missing dog, a determined girl, a pink-haired aunt, and themes of faith and friendship.
Twelve-year-old Kimmy trusts dogs more than people.
After all, her dog Bo never made fun of her for having one hand. But two years ago, Bo disappeared.
When Kimmy stumbles across a magazine photo of a dog in upstate New York that looks just like Bo, she knows she has to find him. Her parents seem oddly unsupportive, but pink-haired, adventure-hungry Aunt Skylar agrees to a road trip with a stop in the Adirondacks. Kimmy jumps at the chance to bring her furry family member home.
Unfortunately, Aunt Skylar’s idea of a road trip isn’t the rescue mission Kimmy had in mind.
Book 2 (Coming Soon!)
Road Trip Return
A faith-filled international adventure for kids ages 8-12 about facing the past to embrace the future.
What is Kickstarter—and why?
Kickstarter is a way for creators to fund their projects by offering exclusive offers/perks to anyone who “backs” the project. There are different reward levels to choose from, and you’re not charged unless the campaign meets its funding goal.
I chose it because:
- I want to connect directly with readers like you!
- It allows me to offer exclusive rewards, like getting an autographed copy of the book before its release.
- Crowdfunding will help me cover some of my publishing costs to help print and market the book more effectively.
- Kickstarter might also introduce my book to readers I wouldn’t have found otherwise!
Daniel likes his life the way it is.
Simple. Predictable. And most importantly, just him and his older brother, Mateo. But as Mateo’s wedding approaches, life is already changing. And Daniel worries Mateo’s fiancée, Skylar, will ruin everything.
When Skylar disappears a week before the ceremony, Daniel’s concerns are confirmed. Skylar is trouble. The wedding must be stopped.
Drawing on his twelve years of wisdom, Daniel vows to save his family from disaster. Even if that means traveling to Guatemala—the home of his father, and the last place he ever wanted to visit.
Daniel must sabotage the search for Skylar before Mateo makes the biggest mistake of his life.
Who is the Road Trip Rescue series for?
- Kids ages 8-12
- Those who love reading true-to-life adventures and friendship and family stories with quirky characters
- Readers who feel alone, isolated, insecure, or not sure how they fit into the world
Why this series?
My goal in writing is to show kids they are wonderfully created for the unique adventures in their lives.
In Road Trip Rescue (book one), Kimmy has lots of fun adventures, but her journey gets much better when she realizes she’s not alone.
In Road Trip Return (book two), Daniel thinks he knows what is best. But everything changes when he realizes he can trust God’s plans for his family instead.
