I have been working on a kid's book series. I love teen and young adult literature, because I never really grew up. My wife tells me I'm still a ten year old, and I tell her that as soon as I get my jet pack up and running, I'd show her! Actually, being a perpetual ten year old is pretty cool, except if you slip and act that way in public. I remember walking down the hall of the university singing "Ooh Wah Diddy Diddy Dum Diddy Do" to myself and turning a few heads, but not in a positive way. And then all the administrative types at Kean think that I'm a "problem." "Not a team player." The Jesuits used to tell me that I was not attentive to the vow of obedience. I thought ok, as long as they don't tell my Mom.
The series I'm working on is a fantasy series. Thank God for JK Rowling bringing fantasy back. I love fantasy and science fiction because I can go to cool places in the universe, or invent cool magic things like psychodelic lawn grass or cookies that make you a genius for ten minutes at a time.
