About the Book

The Tree Monsters was inspired by an old sci-fi movie, From Hell it Came. My mother used to tell a lot of scary stories to us as kids and this was one of her favorites.

The story is about a meteorite that crashes near a campground where Chuck Spencer and his friend Tony Rivers are. The two 10-year-olds find it, but adults show up and run them off. Chuck is a little wild, and not above scheming to get a piece of the meteorite. This gets him and Tony in trouble with their parents.


About the Author

My grandfather gave me an old manual typewriter when I was 15. This sparked my interest in writing. At first it was short stories. I even illustrated them myself.

I published my first short story in the Regular Baptist Press in 1987. It was a true story that I experienced in high school.

I decided to try writing children's books in 1994, and I took a book writer's course from the Institute of Children's Literature. My first book, Skeletons in the Basement came out in January 2000. I have also been producing some books myself for sale at craft shows.
