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.

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.

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.

The full-color pages and adorable aliens make this book a pleasure to read. Children will learn not just about the planets but about the importance of imagination and creative thinking.
