In Brotherly Bond, five-year-old twins learn valuable lessons in empathy and resolving differences when a trip to the bookstore results in conflict. Where did the idea for this story come from?

The idea for Brotherly Bond stemmed from a combination of my own children, when they were younger, who are also twins. From observing my niece and nephews and my many years of Early Childhood experience.

Did you include anything from your own childhood in your characters’ experiences?

Yes, I did include things from my childhood, as my parents would regularly purchase books for my sister, my brother, and myself. So, I grew up having a passion for books and a love for the bookstores.

The artwork in your book is wonderful. What was it like to collaborate with illustrator Sangi Parvin?

It was really great collaborating with Illustrator Sangi Parvin. She knew exactly what I was looking for just by reading my manuscript. I absolutely love the illustrations!

Can young readers look forward to more stories featuring brothers Alex and Tristan?

Yes, readers can definitely look forward to more stories featuring Alex and Tristan, as in a series. An idea is developing as I write this.
