About

I'm a poet, children's author and teacher. My aim with my writing is to try to give people joy, laughter, some food for thought, and to try and bring some inspiring messages to my readers. I like to write poetry for adults and picture books/early readers. My first two books are stories in verse and have been inspired by my professional and personal life. The first book is called It's a Teacher's Life...! and my second book is called Family and More - Enemies or Friends?  which is available in paperback and Kindle, as well as Kindle apps for the iPhone, iTouch and iPad. The vision that inspired this book can be summed up as follows: every encounter we have in life can be a force for good and, if we see with the heart, we'll know that only man-made differences divide us. The fact that I come from a German/English background was a key factor in inspiring me to write this book. 

My third book is a children's picture book, entitled 'Pep, Polish and Paint'. The story is set in space (I've always been fascinated by space) and it involves a sun that's lost his shine and three spaceships. It's all about taking action and discovering the power within to achieve whatever you want to achieve.

Description

<p><strong><em>Have you ever awoken from a vivid dream and wondered which side of waking was real?</em></strong></p><p>Burt Higgins' retirement is not going well. His children have grown, and his wife has gone off to earn a late-life degree, leaving him alone in his sprawling suburban home. With too much time on his hands, he broods on the state of the world, obsessively following the worst of cable news and the Internet. Increasingly angry at the state of affairs, he nurtures a fantasy that a dark lord from another realm has foisted these problems on humankind. If only he could transport to that world, he'd confront the demon and use the magic found there to defeat the beast and end despair forever.</p><p>On a particularly bad news day, while housebound in the midst of a snowstorm, he retreats to his study to shut out the world and immerse himself in his books. When, on a whim, he lights a candle purchased in an obscure Prague curiosity shop, a magical guide appears and offers to take him on whatever quest he chooses. When he asks to become a hero in a fantasy realm, he discovers a more complex world than he expected, and battling evil with magic turns out to be far from his greatest challenge.</p><p><strong>EVOLVED PUBLISHING PRESENTS</strong> a specualtive fantasy adventure sure not just to entertain you, but to make you consider your life, your dreams, your goals.
