I used to make up stories to put my kids to sleep.

So I made a kid's book, and to this, it won a lot of awards, and then you can't sell the second one because that age group somehow fell out of favor because they're all reading stuff on their computers or their telephones.

It's an adventure time traveling tale with the greatest premise ever. There's a strange Uncle Arthur who works at the British Museum in London and yet lives in this old Victorian mansion in St. Paul, Minnesota.

So I wanted to put in real kids with real feelings and real kid characters.

And then the evil villains also make their way back there and it's like Indiana Jones, just cliffhanger every chapter as they hurdle their way to the exciting finish where they save the world.
