Readings

I usually select a story to read from one book and invite discussion/questions.

I have been using BOOK 1 (a group of 8 short stories) for reading at schools.
BOOKS 2 and 3 are much bigger books and I only refer to them or give brief synopsis at this time.
BOOK 4 in still in process.

All these books are titled "The Adventures of Maya and Kit" with sub titles. They are about the adventures of a young brother and sister and span from ages seven to fourteen.

I presume readers would fall within this age group also, perhaps going up to fifteen.

Book Sales:

Yes

Biography

I had a successful business career. After retirement I started writing children's books. I had written a highly technical book on Audio Recording many years ago, but did not pursue this activity. A first class education in Grammar Schools and universities made it relatively easy for me to start writing and the only thing I needed was a subject to write about.

I chose to invent a young brother and sister and put them through all sorts of adventures. Naturally, I have placed them in quite familiar surroundings, drawn from my own childhood, but occasionally I introduced the fantasy that beguiles us all as children.

By the time they reach Book 4, and are now 14 and 13 years of age, I wonder if I am not ready to bid them goodbye but that remains to be seen.
