For 45 years, I enjoyed teaching all subjects at all grade levels. When I retired in 2013, my wife said that I should write children’s books since I had been reading and telling so many stories as a teacher. Since then, I have published over 300 children's ebooks and paperbacks, over 200 audiobooks, and 15 hardcover books. I write both fiction and nonfiction children’s books in all genres. Using a child’s first name and interests, I have custom-written books for adults and children. I enjoy researching topics and writing books as well as writing books to someone's specifications.
