Twinkling Wings and Toothy Things follows a tooth-builder from the Tooth Fairy Realm who, while on a mission, experiences some mishaps leading to a late-night adventure filled with valuable lessons. What was the inspiration for your story?

The inspiration was my daughter, Sadie.  During family dinner, when my little girl got frustrated because she didn’t have teeth to chew, the idea of the tooth-builders came to life!

I found Nutter Nate to be an entertaining and likeable character. What was your inspiration for this character?

In real life, my brother and I own and operate a building company so naturally there would need to be a leader in the tooth building realm and I’m a little nutty, so Nutter Nate rhymed and it made goofy sense for the young audience to think that might be funny!

What were some educational aspects that were important for you to include in this children’s book?

Teamwork is definitely one of the main takeaways along with in life there will always be challenges to overcome whether it is on a job site or in an office building or at home.  

What story are you currently in the middle of writing?

I left the ending open for more adventures for the characters.  Maybe a book about lost teeth that are thrown in trash cans or swallowed (don’t want kids to be devastated thinking the tooth fairy won’t have their lost tooth).  I’m always listening for book ideas that are not out there.
