Supermoon Is Here!

Supermoon is now available on Amazon!  This story was inspired by a hike up Enchanted Rock, an unusual pink granite dome located just outside of Fredericksburg, Texas.  My daughter and I made the climb with our dear friends who live near the area.  Our goal was to view a supermoon from the top. The experience is one I will never forget, from the giant glowing moon to the soft twinkling flashlights of all the other visitors.   Thanks to the Ivers family for taking us and encouraging me to write a children's story based on the adventure.   One of the greatest challenges I faced as a child, like most children, was overcoming my fear of the dark.  With a very over active imagination, the dark held lots of opportunities for my mind to go crazy.  The main character, Brian, must also face the enemy of darkness on his hike up Enchanted Rock.  The story is a great tool to introduce children to all the cool appearances the moon makes as well as ease their fear of the dark. The next supermoon will appear in September, the same month that the last of a series of four blood moons occur.  It's a great time to talk to kids about the amazing moon!      Supermoon on Amazon
