| Let’s have birthday cake. 🙂 It’s not my birthday (although you’re welcome to send me presents in October). It’s a book birthday! Specifically Blackbelt Chloe and the Birthday Cake Catastrophe. |
| This book was so much fun to write. Just ask the people who kept yelling at me from the living room, “What are you giggling about in there?” I was just sitting in my office chortling away as I typed. You may be sensing a theme in my stories: I love mysteries, martial arts, and monsters. If you do, too, you’ll love this one. The birthday party will be ruined! Chloe had no idea she might have to put her new black belt in taekwondo to use at her friend’s thirteenth birthday party… But somebody — or something — is a low-down, dirty, thieving cake-stealer! Can Chloe and her friends brave a winter storm and dark, scary woods to collar the culprit before the cake disappears forever? Blackbelt Chloe is the fifth in my Adventure Kids series, stories aimed at readers 9-12 years old and jam-packed with jokes, weird critters, action, and adventure. My childhood love of scifi and fantasy adventure stories like 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea, Lord of the Rings, the Hardy Boys, and comics inspired these books. If you love reading to your little ones as much as I did when my step-daughter was little, they’re great for that, too. Available in Trade Paperback and Ebook! Just click here! |
