Susie & Johnny Grilled Cheese Take An Out of this World Adventure follows two cute characters on an educational space adventure. What was the inspiration for the setup of your story?

The inspiration has come from bedtime stories with my three Children twin girls Amelia & Emerson (17) and son Cambell (11). We would make up this fun and crazy adventures of Susie & Johnny for years, they couldn’t wait to hear more.

What educational aspects were vital for you to include in this children’s book?

I always make sure that each book has some educational element to keep children reading and parents as well. Each book has something new that relates to the adventure they are experiencing. I want teacher, parents, grandparents and any one who is seeking a children’s book series that we want to make reading fun and fundamental.

What are some of your inspirations as a writer?

I love writing, and I get inspired daily by hearing stories, talking to my friends and family, and brainstorming with other authors. However, my kids inspire me the most – remembering all these adventures and my son keeps me in check with remembering to bring in their friends. 

Where does the next book in the series take the characters?

Now that’s a secret – each book ends with a clue for the next book, I want to keep kids guessing and imagining where Susie & Johnny may go next. They may be right or may give me a new idea for future books, right now we are working on a 12 book series – the third book will be out this week.
