As a child my father read me stories almost every night, but for me, that was simply the beginning. When the book closed and my eyes shut tight, that's when the real adventure began. Come see where your imagination will take you as you discover the magical thing called the light switch to heaven. . .

Much like the rest of you, I came into this world kicking and screaming. Later in life, kicking and screaming turned into temper tantrums. Sound familiar? Honestly, maybe one of the only times I would ever shut up was when I was tucked into bed and read a goodnight story. It’s funny how at the age of 42, not only do I still remember those times, but I consider myself a better person because of them. I am very much a kid at heart, and am not ashamed to admit it. So here I am, sharing my story with anyone that will read it. In the end, it’s not about how many awards I have received or how many books I have sold. For me, it all comes down to this: If one child falls asleep smiling tonight and wakes up tomorrow with his imagination running wild, well. . . that’s perfectly alright with me.
