"Through stories in the fiction genre, I hope to impact children in thinking outside the box when facing tomorrow's challenges. We are in a time of global change. Racial discrimination, war, famine, poverty, and numerous environmental problems will be passed on to them. It is a huge burden. However, I feel the children of tomorrow will finally be the best occupants of planet earth. A better world will evolve as the children of tomorrow protect humanity and our planet with a renewed and strong spirit. I believe in them. I want to be a small part of sculpting that future in any way I can. This is my goal as an author.
