I am now going to try my hand at Youth Fantasy with my new story titled The Search for the Butterfly Queen (a working title). My first book was a science fiction novel that had time travel, multiple dimension, aliens, characters intentionally trying to create a paradox, space travel and religious morality. It was fun for me to write and hopefully a good read for you.

My second book was full on space battle with good verses evil. It had many more characters that were developed further than my first novel. It had parallel story lines that told the story from different perspectives making the book more interesting to read. It had originality in the space battle themselves as combat wasn’t just firing rockets and lasers at each other. There was actual strategy involved that invested the reader in the story.

The Search for the Butterfly Queen is more simplistic. It has one plot thread that follows the princess throughout the story. The princess had a spell cast on her at birth and she can’t smell flowers or see their pretty colors. She has a simple quest to find the Butterfly Queen who can break the spell that has been placed on her. Her journey takes her all over the kingdom where she meets many interesting characters that help her find the castle of butterflies. I am writing this book as a fairy tale fantasy adventure targeted for the young children to grade school genre. I am writing this story for most of my ten grandchildren. All of them play a character in the story along with some adults I know.

Follow along as I give more insights as I write this story.
