Many years ago, I had an idea to write a keepsake collection of fantasy life-lesson tales for my family. Concepts for stories swirled through my mind, accompanied by music and colorful, animated settings. As I dug further into my crazy idea, I found myself not only writing in earnest, but also composing music and creating graphic illustrations of the blossoming characters and their surroundings. The characters took on lives of their own, and I eventually realized that the tales were morphing into a series of novels. I decided to let the journey take me down creative side paths, where learning opportunities abounded and unexpected joy flourished. Today, two books in the series are published, and my little fantasy world of Heaven’s Wait continues to expand. New stories and characters are itching to make their appearance. I guess I’d better get to work.
The Characters
My world of Heaven’s Wait revolves around a quirky community of characters called the Vowellans. They are innocent to the ways of their world outside of their isolated town of Vowella.
