Inspiring the Next Generation

Last month, I mailed three copies of my book, Journey to Jumbalot, to Harvard Elementary located in Toledo, Ohio. I was pleased to receive a message from Harvard's principal thanking me for the books and they will be placed in their school library. He invited me to speak to the students, but I told him I would provide a video message since I currently reside in Florida.

I attended Harvard between 1984-1990 and I have very fond memories from my childhood. I loved sledding down a large hill next to the school and my friends and I spent countless hours on the playground. I loved to draw during this time, and I think some of the earliest versions of my book's characters were sketched with crayons.

It's a great feeling to know that my books are now available in Harvard's library, and I hope it inspires one of their students to use their imagination to build fantastic, new worlds.
