The Dreamlighters Go to Space follows a brother, sister, and magical genie from their nightlight who set out to figure out how to have an adventure in space. What was the inspiration for your story?

Although my initial intent was to create a legacy for my children to be proud of, God took the reins and gave me this particular storyline. At first, I only wanted to write a book because I read in another book, Multiple Streams of Income, that this was the best way to create a secondary stream of residual income, but as time passed, my passion for ensuring my children were aware of the endless possibilities there are in life captured the essence of what I set out to do.

Kaleb, Maya, and Jazz are relatable characters for children. What traits were important to you when creating them?

It was important for the characters to reflect who my actual children are so that it could be understandable for them. My team and I were very intentional with having them mirror the climate of today’s youth so that we do not lose their interest while feeding them valuable information.

Your children’s book blends factual information into a story filled with humor and fantasy. What were some educational aspects that were important for you to include in this children’s book?

Including jobs like engineering and meteorology was the foundation for the storyline so that children could walk away with tangible information that would make a lasting impact. It is important to highlight these careers because the astronaut is the typical position mentioned when speaking of space exploration, but we want to reiterate just how vital these roles are as well.

Is this the first book in the series? If so, when is the next book coming out, and what can your fans expect in the next story?

This is, indeed, the first book of a series for The Dreamlighters. Their next adventure will introduce new friends as they travel through a fire station and attempt to help with a live fire! You can expect The Dreamlighters Put Out a Fire to be released later this year.
