Native Northwesterner. Degreed in the Biological and Developmental Educational/Psychological Sciences. In days past I worked in Alaska for the Department of Fish and Game, later in the Student Services Division of the Washington State Community College System. My wife and I retired to S. CA. She a quilter, me an amateur photographer, both some success in State Fair competitions. We both enjoy mountain trail summer day hikes, old towns, coffee, and friends. While day-caring my grandchildren, I observed that more books for the young reader (tweener) ages would be nice. I challenged myself to create some. I have chosen to create plot-lines of friendships set against science adventure. Let me know how I did in the Reader's Evaluation sections. The four Tales In Time books found their individual ways to completion over several years, otherwise they would have been contained under one cover. I admire prolific writers, but I must confess to not being so endowed. A methodical slowpoke if you will. I hope you enjoy my literary efforts. David
