Dear Readers,

I'm pleased to introduce you to The Bugville Critters.

The Bugville Critters Visit Dad and Mom at Work

The Bugville Critters Go to School

I wrote the Bugville Critters books as bedtime stories for my children. The stories address the real issues and challenges my children faced as they started school, made friends, and started to learn about the world around them. The stories provide real lessons about life, friendship, family, our world, the natural world of which we are all a part, and our environment. My children have enjoyed hearing the stories for many years. As they got older, they urged me to bring the stories to life for other children to enjoy, and in 2007 I'll finally be able to do just that.

I also invite you to discover the amazing books and world created by 14-year-old wonder kid J R King. King's Arianna Kelt and the Wizards of Skyhall  is better than many contemporary young adult novels written by adults. Anyone who loves Harry Potter, Eragon, or Artemis Fowl is sure to love it.
