Polar Post follows two siblings and their hilariously food-motivated golden retriever on a magical trip to the mysterious and whimsical Erutuf National Park, where they help a Polar bear hide a secret map from pirates. What was the inspiration for the setup of your story?

I love national parks! My husband proposed to me in Shenandoah National Park, and we got married in the Grand Teton National Park. I had always wanted to write a children’s series set in a national park. I couldn’t decide which national park for the setting because I love them all in different ways. So, I created a huge fictional national park that encompasses aspects of many existing national parks. Read the series to find out the meaning behind Erutuf!

What were some driving ideals behind your character’s development?

I created the two main characters, Reese and Dean, to show children that they can make a difference in this world and protect the environment. I named the two siblings by the middle names of my kids.

What scene in the book did you have the most fun writing?

I loved writing the dogsled race scene. I had so much with all the characters and the actual race.

Do you have more adventures in store for Reese and Dean, or are you working on a new project?

Yes, Reese and Dean will have four more journeys and adventures to new parts of Erutuf National Park in the future!
