To The Dreamer Inside…

Rule #1 of Book Writing according to me

Never Ever Be Boring

Rule #2 of Book Writing according to me

Put Your Heart on the Page

Hey there, it’s me Jalen! I’m so happy to see that out of all the places you could be you’ve found yourself on my page.

Since a kid I always had a wild imagination and found myself staring out of the window daydreaming about detectives, dragons, ninjas, and anything else I thought was cool.

Books were always there to help fuel that flame of creativity and took me to places and worlds I’d never been.

But the truth is, I never thought I’d be the person to write one myself. Stories just kind of came to me and I wrote them down.

Lucky enough for me other people just happened to like what I wrote.

In a way, you could say that I write my stories for that daydreaming kid I once was so I can always keep that part of me alive.

And by doing that I hope to inspire other kids to dream, think outside of the box, and fall in love with my characters because each character has a little bit of my own heart in them.

So, from the bottom of my heart, I say thank you to all my readers for allowing my books to be a tiny spark in the flame of their imagination and dreams.

And let’s all keep alive our dreamer inside…
