INTRODUCING

I thought it would be fun to share with you how the concept of The Super Heroe's Save Christmas came to light. Like most author's we base our stories on people we have met or on events in our lives...and I am no different. I have a lovely daughter named Francessca,a cute nephew and niece named Gage and Ivy and a pup named Scooby...no no...actually it's Buddy (aka.Buddy Overbite),and then there's Chloe...Gage's friend.

In 2006, I was going through some rough times and couldn't afford to buy gifts so I decided to make presents for the kids and my daughter came up with the brilliant idea of making them a book.We had been up to Check,Virginia visiting my nephew and his family and that's where the whole Super Hero idea came about. The kids were playing and running back and forth playing Super Heroes. So the parents gave each kid a name and viola! the Super Heroes were born.We had Gage as Super Gage,Chloe as Cosmic Chloe,Francessca as Fantastic Franny,Buddy as Buddy Overbite and Ivy was just a little baby so she was not playing at all.Buddy got his name because he is a lhasa apso and if you are familiar with these dogs they have protruding teeth and he has these teeth that hang over out of his mouth. It looks like he needs braces. It's really funny and the kids are always joking about it. Poor Bud-Bud!

The book was a huge hit.The kids loved it. Gage was taking it to school all the time for show and tell.They even made copies of it for the kids at school because they were always asking Gage to bring it in.I couldn't get the book out of my mind as well. I knew I had something too. So I got a copy of my story back from my nephew's family...improved upon it and made it more professional looking.When I got it up to par I submitted it and the rest is history as they say.
